Summary: We spent four days and nights on the estate established in 1817 by my G-G Grandparents. It is always surreal to come here and feel the presence of my ancestors. The 'Garden Shed' is very cozy and inviting. The amenities are excellent with all the comforts of home. The surrounding fields and mountains are gorgeous. The gardens and pond are beautiful.. The livestock, donkey and very friendly farm dogs are entertaining.. The hosts are.very welcoming and fun to visit.. We reccomend the Garden Shed, you won't regret it!

Summary: This was our 2nd time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first! Plenty of quiet time to fish and explore the mountain. Property is visually spectacular and the donkey is very amusing to have morning coffee with, highly recommend for family time and a peaceful getaway. 2nd time there and there are still things we feel like we didn’t get to take advantage of, seems like we’ll have to go back! Love this place!!

Summary: It was in a secluded area, but we 3 girls felt safe, the environment was very welcoming. We loved the decor & the landscape was amazing! We sat outside but bugs didn’t bother us - the moon & stars lit the sky & the sun going down behind the mountains glowed. Wonderful visit!

Summary: My husband, kids, and I had such a fabulous weekend at the Garden Shed. The house itself was charming and incredibly clean. We appreciated the owners leaving carrots for the kids to feed Hieronymus, the friendly donkey just steps from the door. We sat outside at night and watched fireflies light up the trees like it was Christmas. If you're looking for a place that's near Grayson Highlands State Park, this is a great option!

Summary: My girlfriends & I absolutely LOVE spending a long weekend up at the Garden Shed. We come at least once a year, and it never disappoints. Michael & Matthew are such gracious hosts, making sure the hammocks are out for some relaxation near the creek. Just a slice of paradise!

Summary: Stunningly beautiful landscape & conveniently located. We loved waking up to the cows and donkey. The renovation of the “garden shed” is fantastic. Very roomy and comfortable. The HVAC was noisy, but next time we’ll just turn it off and throw another quilt on the bed. Too bad we didn’t have more time to relax in the adorable hammocks - we hope to remedy that soon 😊 Thanks again for a great stay!

Summary: Michael and Matthew are fantastic, the cabin was perfect, the views are absolutely breathtaking. Everything about this visit exceeded our expectations. The pictures online do not do this place any justice. You must see it to believe. We cannot wait to come back. :)
