The barn was very lovely and was a great place to house a family gathering. I wish there had been more bathrooms. There were fun games and outdoor areas for the kids to play. Unfortunately it was super hot the weekend we visited and there is no air conditioning but the fans helped. The host was very responsive.

Steve and Cindy were very quick to respond to all my questions about the property and my stay. Although there's no AC, the building stays naturally cool throughout the day with plenty of airflow. There's plenty of outdoor space for games and a night around the fire with all your guests. The cupboards were stocked and labeled from dishes to pens and any other miscellaneous items you might need throughout the stay.

Perfect for our guys weekend

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 wasn’t an issue for us.

McKenna, We are glad that you had a good stay with us. Thanks for a good clean up. We did notice a couple of blankets with vomit on them that we washed. Maybe someone was ill or there was a little "brew flu" going around... Congratulations in advance on your upcoming wedding. Steve and Cindy

Weekend Golf Getaway

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.

Perfect Spot

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!

Wonderful Stay

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!

Wedding party retreat

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!

Fantastic retreat from the pace of daily life

Our family had a wonderful day full of joy, laughter, and serenity. Sunset walks with pasture views, feeding apples to the cows, piano playing, board games, ping pong and just catching up in an amazing converted barn. THANK YOU!

Beautiful refurbished barn

Wonderful property. Great facility for a family stay or a small gathering. We had a graduation party for our daughter there. We’re from out of town so we’re 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 didn’t 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

Fun night getaway!

We booked the barn for a fun overnight stay with 3 other couples. It was such an awesome night! The boys went pheasant hunting at Caribou gun club in the morning and we all met up at the barn to hang out. The barn had everything you need! Would definitely recommend this barn to friends and family!

Really unique and incredible

We found this place for a larger group and it was absolutely perfect. There was more than enough space for everyone and an incredible experience. Everyone loved the location and the memories made are invaluable. Anything we could think of that we needed was already there. Definitely recommend for anyone who's looking for beautiful scenery, lots of space, and a perfect spot to host lots of people! I would absolutely come back here again!

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.

Great space for a bachelor party.

Our stay at Shepard’s 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.
