A beautiful cabin in a lovely setting
The cabin was absolutely fabulous, and the pond, wild geese and singing frogs added to the serenity and peace the property presented, Loved being there and look forward to another stay in the future.

Perfect Weekend
We had a fantastic weekend in Galax. This is our 3rd stay at Shepherd's Rest and, as usual, the home was clean and inviting. The weather was beautiful though we were probably a week early for leaf peeping. Kathy is an excellent communicator. We look forward to staying here again.

Very relaxing and peaceful.
Everything we hoped for. Very clean and so relaxing. We loved the tranquility and atmosphere. Watching the clouds over the pond and listening to the rain was wonderful.
Kathy was a great host and everything was perfect. Just wish we could have stayed longer.
5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

A beautiful peaceful stay
I have been in real estate for 37 years and this property was beautiful. The scenic view from the covered porch and the inside was as comfortable as staying in your own home (very comfortable). The location is just 10--15 minutes into downtown Galax but being in the peaceful setting was more than anyone could ask for. The two little pups enjoyed the large backyard (acre+) that they could run. The place as spotless and the beds were really comfortable. I would definitely and will stay again. The owners of this property keep this place in wonderful condition and exceptionally nice people.

Very comfortable
This is a lovely property. Check in was so easy. It's a bit out of town, which is not a bad thing. Very comfortable with full bed/bath/living room and nicely supplied kitchen with full range, cookware, dishwasher, coffee maker. I wasn't so sure about accommodations for our 16' motorcycle trailer. In the end, all worked out OK. For motorcyclists, the coarse gravel on an incline in and out makes for some squirrly arrivals and departures, but thankfully no major issues. We loved our time here.
This is our fourth stay and it is always wonderful. Very quiet and peaceful and the home is immaculate.

Country Serenity
This home will certainly be at the top of our list when we visit Galax even if we don't bring our dog. Everything was clean and well cared for and the home had a lot of space for a one bedroom! The large grassy area where we walked our dog was clean of debris (which isn't always the case). The host is very responsive and handled all our questions quickly. This home is a great find!
