About this property

Shepherds Retreat - 2 miles to I-65

  • The Shepherd’s Retreat is one of 4 rentals offered by Green Pastures Getaways. Set on our private 32-acre property just 5 minutes from I-65, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath home sleeps up to 6 and overlooks beautiful rolling pastures where our flock of Katahdin sheep regularly grazes.

    The home is full of character, with wide-plank floors, soaring wood ceilings, a large brick fireplace, antiques, original art and unique furnishings throughout. A huge picture window in the living area looks across the pasture, while the full kitchen and open living spaces provide plenty of room to relax and spend time together.

    There are three comfortable bedrooms — two with king beds and one with a queen — along with three full bathrooms. The primary suite includes a jetted tub, large shower and access to a covered outdoor sitting area overlooking the property.
    Outside is a big part of the Green Pastures experience. Guests of the Shepherd’s Retreat have access to the pool, along with porches and outdoor sitting areas, a fire pit and plenty of room to enjoy the property. Take a walk, watch the sheep, enjoy the birds and wildlife, or simply settle in for a quiet evening and a beautiful sunset. Deer, turkeys, hawks and other wildlife are frequent visitors.

    Green Pastures feels wonderfully secluded, yet we’re convenient to Montevallo, Calera and Alabaster and approximately 35 minutes from downtown Birmingham.

    Traveling with a larger group? The Cottage and The Studio at Green Pastures are also located on the 32-acre property and can be combined with the Shepherd’s Retreat to accommodate additional guests. Just ask us about the options.

Beautiful place to relax!

This house was clean and just perfect for us. We loved the location, just a mile from businesses, restarants, etc but felt as if you were in the country due to the setting and the surrounding acreage. We saw the sheep, deer, rabits, birds, squirrels, a chipmunk and a fox! We would definitely recommend!

I love this place!

I've stayed in the main house and in the cottage and love this place so much I almost hate to give it a glowing review because I want it to be available when I need it! I pretend the property is mine when I stay there. It's so beautiful and peaceful! 10/10 recommend

Secluded Feeling

We have stayed at Shepard's retreat many times now. It is a beautiful country setting but near several cities for dining and entertainment. However, we love just spending our day outside around the pool or pond just relaxing. There are also sheep and a burrow for the kids to watch in the pasture.

Graduation Weekend

I’ve stayed in all of Stewart’s properties and they don’t disappoint! Very attentive and there to assist with any issues. We enjoyed watching the sheep and burro in the fields…listening to the rooster crow in the am and the owl hooting at night. Comfortable nights under the porch just chatting. Highly recommended!

It’s always a pleasure…

It’s always a pleasure staying at one of Stewart’s properties. He makes check-in easy and can be available at a moments notice. The kitchen is stocked with just about everything you need for cooking, including a whole variety of spices. The beds were comfortable. One warning: Two people cannot take showers at the same time… LOL…. We learned the hard way. But that is definitely not a reason to not stay in this lovely home. Everything is comfortable while decorated and homey. I will always recommend one of Stewart’s properties to anyone I know traveling in the Montevallo area.

A restful retreat!

We booked this place for some R&R and that is just what we got. It is a beautiful piece of property not far from the normal conveniences of life, ie, Walmart & Publix. I loved sitting in the living room and watching all the different birds visit the feeder on the other side and I was able to add a new one to my life list. Our last morning, a herd of 9 deer passed through the meadow in front of us. The hammocks placed around the property were a wonderful treat to relax in and read. The house was beautiful and filled with unique antiques so beautifully arranged. It would be a great place for up to 3 couples as there were doors to separate all the areas and have quiet and privacy. Plus, each bedroom area had access to it's own outside door. I would so love to return.

We loved our stay at Shepherd’s Retreat! We had a group of 6 women come to town for a girls’ weekend, and we had a GREAT time! The host was super responsive to all of our questions, the pool was so clean and relaxing, the kitchen was fully stocked, and we got to feed and pet the donkey and all of the sheep!We will keep it in mind for future weekend getaways!

Peaceful Pasture with Gentle Breezes

Love this little slice of paradise. Nestled among the trees on a hill, life slows down where you can read in the hammock, feed the sheep, or float in the pool. This home has everything you could possibly need for a great stay. We will be back!

My college friends and I SO enjoyed this place to just be together, enjoy the pool, and reconnect! It's close to town but feels like it's FAR away. The owner is very attentive and there was nothing we needed that wasn't there. Would definitely recommend and hope to return!

SPECIAL PLACE

Peaceful - and an accommodating owner who was available daily if we had needed anything. This was everything that my 4 sisters and I were looking for to be together for our "once a year reunion". We would definitely return to this property in the future and have already recommended it to others.
