Beautiful Property, Family Friendly

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.

Fantastic spot for a big group

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.

Get together for wedding to come!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Cindy

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
