Anniversary Get a way
My husband and I were celebrating our 26th anniversary and wanted to get a few days way from the hustle and bustle of our home. We found our cabin on VRBO and were very excited about pets being allowed. The fenced in yard was a great addition to the cabin. Everything was far better than we expected and the booking agent was very nice and made sure that we had what we needed and everything was ready upon arrival. She touched base with us several times during our visit to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back.

Blissful place to "paws" and relax.
I can't say enough about this dog friendly cabin. Perfect for anyone who travels and explores with their dog kids. The cabin is fully stocked with pet needs from toys to blankets to poop bags to first aid kit. Bring your own food and leash of course. The fenced in yard is such a blessing. Beautiful location to hike, watch and feed the deer. This place is so cozy and welcoming. The dogs and I will be back and thank the hosts wholeheartedly.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Ruef

Host profile image
We, Barbara (originally from Germany) and Andrea (originally from Austria) are best friends of 25 years and veterans of the service industry. We love to travel and I always take my dogs with me. The amount of items I had to pack just for the dogs was overwhelming. On top of that, sleeping arrangements in many locations are mediocre, leading to sleepless nights or sore backs. After hours on the road, you find empty cabinets, not even a speck of salt, an empty fridge, no shampoo in the bathroom, no laundry detergent, not even a bottle of water. We decided to do better, compiled a list of all the things we would like to find upon arrival and started our business. Shepherds Lounge was our first step into the short term hospitality business, followed by Shepherds Run. We strive to improve and would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

Why they chose this property

We love dogs! Dogs are family. For us the true definition of dog friendly is not a fee, dogs stay for FREE! We like to think we are truly " DOG FRIENDLY". Check out our other property "Shepherds Run" also! Just grab your dog(s), their food and any special items they may need. Fenced yards, first aid kits, toys, beds, crates, are among the many items we provide for our furry guests. Vineyards are all dog friendly with one exception. So are most of the local hangout places. Did we say we LOVE DOGS? Let us know how we can improve even more. Thank you and enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

From mattresses, to the pillows, to the linens and blankets, we strive to give you, our guests, a quality sleeping experience. Good sleep is important, it leaves you recharged and refreshed to enjoy a good meal of the grill and quality time with family, friends and your beloved dog(s) for many years to come. Enjoy relaxing, staying in and chilling out. Anything we can do to improve, please let us know.
