I stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Shadow Mountain truly felt like a home away from home — offering the freedom and comfort of a private rental with the convenience and amenities of a full-service hotel. The staff went above and beyond by offering an early check-in and a late check-out, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for relaxation, flexibility, and quality hospitality. I look forward to returning.

This is mostly a retirement community complex. Not many families unless renting one of the units. It's better suited for someone that has multiple people staying and wants appliances to cook and eat in. Room is dated and in need of renovation.
