Excellent Stay!

Everything about my stay was top notch. The property was the cleanest I ever had the pleasure of visiting. The owner got back to me immediately during the initial contact and made the coordination as simple as possible. I will definitely stay again when I am in the area.

Perfect Birthday Weekend

We have stayed with Kathy several times and her homes never disappoint. They are clean and welcoming in a beautiful rural setting. The fact that they are the closest rentals to our son and DIL is the icing on the cake. Kathy is excellent at communication and I know we will stay at Shepherd's Rest again.

Great place

My wife and I just love this place , we have stayed here several times already and will continue to come back between our trips to New York and Florida . The house is always clean and comfortable the host are the best . We got hit with a snow storm on our stay and they called us and told us we were welcome to stay the extra night for free so we didn’t have to travel in the snow . Thank you so much . Highly recommend.

Birthday getaway

Was not our 1st trip to this property. Once you go you’ll want to go back. Peaceful, relaxing around pond, deer watching, best of everything you need in kitchen. No street lights, no noise. We’ll go back!!!
