I had a lovely stay in this second floor apartment in Shepherd! In terms of location it was ideal - although it is on a main street, the town is very quiet (even on Memorial Day weekend when I visited) so that we had no road noise to keep us awake at night. And having the Shepherd Tavern directly across the street allowed for convenient dining. You do need to be aware that the stairs to access the apartment are steep, but if you are without mobility issues then it’s no problem. I am a lover of antiques and the furnishings had a lot of character, but at the same time the bathroom looked nicely updated and the small kitchen included coffee makers and a microwave. And most important to my enjoyment of any rental are the thoughtful amenities that were available including plenty of towels, soaps & shampoos, tissues, bottled water, snacks, magazines, puzzle books, coffee creamer & sugar, paper towels, and lots of cozy throw blankets. I have stayed in so many places that are absolutely bare bones, but this rental felt like home!
