Hosts: Joyce and Jack Ferratt

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 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 or stroll the groomed grounds.

Inside the Victorian home, you will find private areas for reading, writing, or having a quiet time. The two high-ceiling guestrooms welcome you with warmth and comfort and are tastefully furnished with family antiques, memorabilia, queen-sized beds, and private baths. A gourmet breakfast is served in the dining room.
