Your Hosts

We, Barbara (originally from Germany) and Andrea (originally from Austria) are best friends of 25+ years and veterans of the service industry.

I prefer to travel by car and take my 2 White German Shepherds with me. The amount of items I had to pack just for my dogs!! To add insult to injury, after many hours on the road, you find empty kitchen cabinets, not even a hint of salt, no shampoo, no laundry detergent, soggy mattresses, stained linens, not even a bottle of water.

We decided to do much better than that!

Busy bees compiled a list of all the things we would like to find upon arrival, how we would like to be hosted and how the dogs should be treated! Next we started looking for properties. Shepherds Lounge was our first step into the super dog friendly short term hospitality business, followed by Shepherds Run. Number 3 is already in the pipeline…(ssh, it’s a secret).

We love hosting and love our guests (especially the tail wagging kind). Barbara + Andrea
