From WoWWiki

This article or section contains lore taken from the Warcraft RPG books.

• Population: 80

Shady Rest is one of the smaller towns and villages that is well known, including Booty Bay, Nethergarde Keep, and Sentinel Hill. Great heroes and great events planted seeds across the land, and those seeds grew into the settlements that mark their passing.^{WoWRPG 377} This town, a day’s travel south of Ashenvale along the Gold Road, is named after the inn at its heart called Shady Rest Inn which is one of the best known on Kalimdor. The small village has grown around it, including a standing garrison of mercenary troops for hire that help protect the town from centaur and quilboar raids when not otherwise employed. The civilian and military communities of the village have labored together to build a jetty and pier that allow merchant traffic traveling along the coast to stop and enjoy a night’s hospitality at the Shady Rest.^{WoWRPG 394}

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore!

The village cannot be seen in World of Warcraft, other than the inn. This may be just a world scale issue. It is possible that the village could have been burned down along with the inn. Though no other rubble can be seen, if indeed it had been burned down.
