Stayed Mar 20, 2026This is our go-to accommodation in the Galax area. The host is easy to communicate with and the house is always clean. The bonus is being able to bring our dog.

Stayed Feb 19, 2026This is the CLEANEST rental we have EVER stayed! And we have stayed in a LOT! The area is very quiet, with a gorgeous view of a pond and rolling hills. Kathy, our host, was actually there at the house when we arrived - and was extremely nice and welcoming. In fact, she had a last minute cancellation and upgraded us to a larger home! Everything and anything we would need was provided! God willing, will be back!

Stayed Jan 16, 2026Great place! Would love to stay again. Area felt safe, not far from local restaurants. Close to nearby cities for additional food, shopping and activities. The yard was great. The house was very clean and the perfect size for a quick little get away for a long weekend. Host was caring and kind, wanted to make sure we arrived okay. I hope to stay again!

Stayed Nov 26, 2025The house was very well decorated and very clean. We traveled to be with my Grandparents for Thanksgiving Holiday. They live on the Blue Ridge Parkway so this country location was a close drive to their home. It had been years since we had seen them, so we had a good family reunion with the group.

Stayed Oct 4, 2024We 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.

Stayed Jul 25, 2024Everything 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!
