Good location and setting for our guys weekend - hosts were helpful to direct us to nearby fishing lakes and a local supply store for bait. Enjoyed fire pit, large kitchen and lots of sleeping options. We were there on a cool weekend so the lack of air wasnât an issue for us.
This was the perfect location for a bunch of college friends to get together and reminisce. Big kitchen, good seating areas and a ping pong table! Only sadness was it was too windy to use the outdoor fire pit. Maybe next time!
The farm was the perfect place to host a full house of grandchildren. Plenty of room, both in and around the barn. A truly unique setting that the children loved.
Wonderful property. Great facility for a family stay or a small gathering. We had a graduation party for our daughter there. Weâre from out of town so weâre not sure what to expect but everything we needed was already there. Chairs, tables, beverage dispensers etc
There is not a fire pit but we didnât need it
Owner was very responsive and brought over matches when we forgot to get them
Everyone had a great time and commented and what a nice place it was
We had a large group of family staying for our sons wedding. The barn space was perfect! Plenty of room and thankful for the two bathrooms!!
The setting was beautiful!!
We booked a weekend for our family of 5 at Shepherd Hill Farm and could not have been happier. We received excellent communication from the host. The property is set in a beautiful country landscape. The barn was extremely spacious, clean and well stocked with the basic amenities and much more. We enjoyed games inside, exploring the property and walks down the country roads. There is much to do within a short distance - we planned around the Defeat of Jesse James Days in Northfield and we also visited nearby Nerstrand State Park. We would recommend Shepard Hill Farm to anyone looking for some R&R, disconnecting and exploring Minnesota's beautiful landscape.
We threw a bachelor party for my buddy and the place was perfect for what we needed. Tons of space, lots of beds (and room for air mattresses).
We golfed and played paintball nearby. Only risk is temperature. Without AC a hot weekend is a risk but they supplied lots of fans and we were able to keep it reasonably cool.
Great value. Would recommend.
What a great stay we had! It was a perfect, quiet property to have a large group together. The owners were greeted us and were very responsive if we had any questions. Would love to stay again some time!
This amazing property hosted myself and seven buddies for our annual golf trip. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and we created many great memories at âThe Barn.â
Stayed here for a weekend with a group of guys for a golf getaway weekend and it was a perfect property for us. Tons of space and beds for everyone. Plenty of space for yard games, and inside there is a huge area where you can play ping pong, cards, or bean bag toss. This was a perfect setup for us, and we plan to return if we come back to this area in coming years.
Our stay at SHF was nothing short of amazing. We stayed there with our wedding party two days before our wedding, and the property was perfect. The hosts were extremely accommodating, and they were always quick to respond. Our two night stay was filled with laughter, love, and us all living our best life. Thank you SHF for an amazing experience!
Our stay at Shepardâs Hill Farms Barn was perfect for our group. Both Steve and Cindy we're very welcoming and offered to help with anything we needed. It's was a hot weekend but the barn stayed cool on the lower level. At night with the windows open the barn was very comfortable for sleeping. The location is close to Montgomery, MN but secluded enough for a getaway for the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities. Would recommend the Barn to anyone interested in hosting larger group gatherings.
Beautiful property impeccably maintained and fully equipped to host any sized gathering! Our group of 12 stayed to celebrate a graduation- just 25 minutes from Northfield so we could host friends and family for the afternoon following the graduation. The peaceful setting provided respite from the activities and out of state guests loved the surroundings. Thank you for helping us celebrate our graduate and enjoy very special time together!
Very relaxing. Nice to walk around the property with my dog. I saw eagles, pheasants, a crane, a turkey and a skunk! The 2 lakes around the property were beautiful. The barn was very comfortable. Nice shower. We played ping pong and cornhole games. Full kitchen. The owners were very relaxed and fun to talk to. Nice way to experience rural Minnesota!
Had 14 guys staying the weekend for a bachelor party. The lean-to area was great for several cornhole tourneys and ping pong matches. Not able to get outside or have a fire but plenty of room if good weather. Was everything we expected.
The property gave us open spaces, big kitchen, and relaxed atmosphere for talking late into the night. Perfect for a retreat of old friends. We stayed over some bitter cold days; Barn stayed nice and comfy.
The property was beautiful. The barn was a fun easy place for our family of 11 to hang out. We cooked many meals in the big kitchen, played ping pong, took walks and really enjoyed our stay!
Wonderful and spacious place to gather with family and friends. Clean and well maintained outdoor area that we were lucky to enjoy with beautiful weather.
The barn at Shepherd's Farm was as amazing as it looks on the listing. We were there over the weekend for my brother's bachelor party. It was a great space for playing games--both indoor and on the lawn--sharing meals, and have great options for breaking into smaller groups or getting time to oneself. Being removed from the city was a great for this sort of gathering to focus on camaraderie and friendship. Perfect place!
Steve and Cindy have owned Shepherd's Hill Farm since 1993. The Barn at Shepherd's Hill hosts small weddings, family reunions, retreats and gatherings. It has also hosted a concert series and has served as the location for an album recording and a movie. A convenient short drive from the Twin Cities, it has become a very popular rural retreat. It would be our pleasure to talk with you about your next visit to our unique property.
The Barn@Shepherd's Hill Farm is comfortable during the four seasons of Minnesota weather. In-floor ground source heating makes the barn cozy during cold weather while the the earth sheltered lower level is comfortable during warmer weather. The barn is not airconditioned but we have box fans if needed.
