Situated in the Historic District of Abingdon Virginia (the oldest incorporated town west of the Blue Ridge), Shepherd's Joy offers an opportunity to experience the rare Victorian charm of an in-town working sheep farm. The Queen Anne country style family home was begun in 1892 and has been lovingly restored with attention to preserving the old with the conveniences of the new. You can escape to Shepherd's Joy to rest, relax and enjoy the pleasures of an unhurried life. Join your fellow guests on the wrap-around porch, stroll the groomed grounds and admire the peacefulness of sheep grazing in the pasture. Inside the Victorian home, you will find private areas for reading, writing or having a quiet time. The four high ceiling bedrooms welcome you with warmth and comfort and are tastefully furnished with family antiques, memorabilia, queen sized beds and private baths. A full breakfast is served in the dining room.
