Sleepy Shepherd Bulacan: Rates and Travel Guide to This Instagrammable Countryside-Style Airbnb

Are you looking for a unique, intimate honeymoon spot or a private hangout spot for you and your besties? You should try staying at this Instagrammable Airbnb in Bulacan first!

Sleepy Shepherd is a 22-hectare farm stay in Doña Remedios Trinidad (DRT) that swaps city noise for mountain views. If you are tired of the sound of car alarms or the hum of a refrigerator in a cramped city flat, a two-hour drive from Quezon City takes you to a part of Bulacan that offers quiet greenery instead of dense traffic.

A tiny house on a massive farm

The Sleepy Shepherd is an 18-square-meter hut inspired by traditional UK shepherd’s huts. While the house itself is small, it sits on a massive pineapple farm. It feels a bit like a camper van but stays fixed in one spot. Inside, you will find a double bed, a living area with a couch that converts into an extra bed, and a private bathroom.

Since food is a priority for any weekend trip, the kitchenette is fully kitted out. It has an electric hob, an oven, a toaster, a rice cooker, and a coffee maker. You don't need to pack your own plates or pans, as the hut provides a full set of dinnerware.

Outdoor features and mountain trails

Because the indoor space is compact, most of the features are located outside. You can use the second outdoor kitchen and a grill if you prefer cooking your meals over charcoal. For relaxation, there is a small private pool for cooling off and a lounge area designed specifically for looking at the mountain range. If you feel like being active, you have access to forest trails and a private waterfall, though this depends on the weather. Once the sun goes down, you can use the bonfire pit for some nighttime fun under the stars.

Because DRT is far from the bright lights of the city, the sky is much clearer. You can sit out in the lounge area and see the stars without the usual Manila haze.

How to go to Sleepy Shepherd in DRT

The farm is located in Doña Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan, which is roughly two to three hours away from Metro Manila. If you are using a private vehicle, take the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and exit at Baliuag or Pulilan. You can search for "Sleepy Shepherd" on Waze or Google Maps, but be prepared for winding roads once you reach the mountain area. While you can technically commute via bus and tricycle, a private car is much better since the property is secluded and public transport is scarce in the mountains.

Essential rules for pet owners and guests

• This deposit is fully refundable if your pet does not cause any damage.

• Standard check-in starts at 2:00 PM.

• You must check out by 12:00 PM on your last day.

• The host provides basic toiletries but bringing your own is recommended.

• You should bring all your own food and drinking water.

• The nearest supermarket or Jollibee is 30 to 40 minutes away in Angat or Norzagaray.

• You can use the Wi-Fi and Smart TV with Netflix for entertainment.

• Mobile signal can be affected by the mountain weather.

If you are looking for a break that doesn't involve the usual crowded malls or expensive flights, this DRT farm stay is a practical choice. It offers the kind of silence you just can’t get in the city, especially once the mountain fog rolls in during the early morning. Whether you are splitting the bill with friends for a double date or hiding away for a honeymoon, the Sleepy Shepherd gives you a "provincial life" experience without making you sleep on the floor or go without Wi-Fi. Just remember to gas up before you hit the winding roads of Bulacan, and bring enough snacks so you never have to leave the farm until check-out.
