Country surprise
I was frankly amazed at the rehab done on this old fashioned motel structure. When combined with exceptionally friendly service, meticulous cleaning and quiet, you have everything needed for a lovely country visit. And of course you have amazing State parks and sites an easy drive away.

Good location to visit area parks
Older motel, but clean and comfortable. We stayed in a room with a kitchenette for the extra space but this would have been good if you actually wanted to use the kitchenette. We did use the fridge. There was a hot breakfast included.

We were very happy with our stay. Very clean, quiet and they brought us a flower in a vase! Lots of area attractions near by. Be sure to see the Battle Ground of Pilot Knob and Train Station that still has 2 stops a day!

Great place to stay
This is the third year in a row I’ve stayed at the Shepard Inn… Family owned and operated, the rooms are immaculate and well maintained, the hot breakfast with scrambled Eggs, homemade sausage patties, home fries and biscuits with gravy were outstanding!
