Shepherds Retreat - 2 miles to I-65

This is one of the most beautiful places you'll find! The views are breathtaking. The spaces are awesome. The décor is unique and antiques are everywhere. And the pastures are green and beautiful! There's a lot to enjoy around the property and you're welcome to roam around. There are multiple porches, a gorgeous live edge pool, lush vegetation, several great places to sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. There is a fire pit and it's easy to get a fire started on a cool evening. The Shepherd's Retreat is one of 5 rentals offered by Green Pastures Getaways.

We'd like to welcome you to "Green Pastures". This is been our "dream property" for the last 20 years as we've passed by it almost every day. We became friends with the previous owners many years ago and amazingly, now it's ours! We're looking forward to sharing it with you!
I know that you'll enjoy your stay here!! This is one of the most beautiful places you'll find! The views are breathtaking. The spaces are awesome. The décor is unique. And the pastures are green and beautiful! There's a lot to enjoy around the property and you're welcome to roam around. There are multiple porches, a gorgeous live edge pool, lush vegetation, several great places to sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. There is a fire pit and it's easy to grab some sticks and get a fire started on a cool evening. Star gazing is amazing as is looking at a gorgeous moon.
It's not uncommon to see deer and turkeys roaming the pasture, owls and hawks fly by and squirrels chasing each other around. All types of birds make regular visits to the feeders around the property. Our property consists of 32 acres, main house, guest house, pool, 2 ponds and pasture. This is a very private property yet only 5 minutes to I-65.
The spaces are filled with lots of antiques, beautiful art (for sale) and lots of unique items. From the time you arrive until the time you leave, you'll be relaxed, inspired and wishing your stay had been longer.

The Master suite is the most luxurious. This suite is configured with a king size bed with a luxurious mattress. The bathroom is incredible!!! It contains a custom double vanity, a large jetted tub and one of the coolest showers that you've ever bathed in with lights, dual shower heads, etc. This suite opens out to a unique outdoor room with a day bed, hanging swing, vines growing around the entire space, a ceiling fan to keep you cool and lots of plants and flowers. The views from this space are awesome and it is just a few steps away from the pool!
This second suite is configured with a beautiful iron queen size bed. The full bathroom has a shower and gorgeous vanity. This suite also opens out to a unique outdoor room with a day bed, hanging swing, vines growing around the entire space, a ceiling fan to keep you cool and lots of plants and flowers. The views from this space are awesome and it is just a few steps away from the pool!
The kitchen and living areas are incredible! Soaring wood plank ceilings, wide plank floors, huge brick fireplace in the center of the room and much more make this one of the most unique homes you'll find. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need to prepare some wonderful meals. There is a breakfast bar that seats 3 and a dining table that seats 4. There is a huge window allowing you to view the beautiful green pastures right from the living room! There is a 65 inch TV to enjoy the big games or a favorite movie.
If you need more space, there are options! There is a separate guest house on the property that can accommodate 3 guests. There are other spaces we have that are less than half a mile away. Just inquire about these options and I'll be glad to give you all the details.

Guests will have access to the pool and outdoor spaces.

We spend a lot of time here at Green Pastures and are typically on site on a daily, basis. There is a lot of property to maintain, grass to cut, pool to maintain, etc. so you'll see us around. If we're not here, we're usually close by and always only a call or text away.

Our property consists of 32 acres, main house, guest house, pool, 2-ponds and pastures. The house and guest house are on the top of a hill overlooking a beautiful pasture. This is a very private property yet only 5 minutes to I-65.

If you're not familiar with the Montevallo/ Calera / Alabaster / Columbiana / Pelham area just let us know and we'll be glad to make some suggestions on things to do, places to eat, etc. We've put together a list of our favorite spots and that list is included and is also available online.

There is a separate guest house on the property that we rent as well so there could be up to 3 other guests staying there. This is also a good option if you have a larger group needing accommodations.

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.

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!

Accurate description of Shepherd's Retreat, Excellent Hosts, Private Oasis w/easy access to Interstate, Ampitheatre, Wineries and Birmingham, Spacious layout with lots of amenities for everyone to enjoy although the animals, pool & master tub/shower were huge hits. The indoor and outdoor spaces are well appointed. Loved individual HVAC controls for each guests comfort. The only thing we could have used was an xtra sheet set for sofa but with all the xtra blankets made it work. We were able to enjoy a wonderful group meal w/a well stocked kitchen but could have gone out, if desired. Played games, grilled peaches, sat on deck, enjoyed the outdoors and friendship. The adjacent Cottage had another couple attending same concert and were very cool but non-intrusive. Got a tour and love this cozy romantic space for couples. Stewart was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Absolutely look forward to returning to this space again for our next concert exploits at Oak Mountain and be able to explore property a bit more. Absolute Gem and well worth the stay!

A Perfect Weekend!
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!

good for the soul
This was my second stay at Shepherds Retreat. In the summer of 2022, my husband, son and I visited and had a wonderful time. So this summer (2023), I reconnected with a friend of 20+ years here. It was exactly what we needed. We sat in the living room, looking out over the beautiful property and talked for hours. The home itself is wonderfully kept, comfortable, and has everything you need. And the pool is so clean and refreshing. I have nothing but good things to say about Shepherds Retreat and I hope to return again next summer for a third visit. If you are looking for a place to rest, relax, and retreat - this is it.

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.
