We rented two Villas. They were both clean, comfortable and private. Very quiet resort and lots of Amenities. Only down side was our two villas were not next to each other so the larger group was a bit split up. Great quiet and restful stay - highly recommend this resort.

The front office staff is friendly and helpful with maps of the property. Parking logistics. Etc. The 3 bedroom unit we rented for the weekend was wonderful! Spacious and a private green backyard with chairs and a fire pit. Large kitchen and living room plenty of space for us to work during the day. Nice community pool. The garage held two cars in tight quarters but plenty of parking around the property. Loved everything about the property!

6/10 Good

No room service. Rooms were marginal. Tv could not get DirectTV. Rooms looked slightly updated, but the quality of the craftsmanship was questionable. For example the floor in the shower did not drain properly. There was a low spot in the floor of the tub where water gathered. Door was not sealed on the bottom. Hide-a-bed was not made up or had sheets available.

10/10 Exceptional

Room was great. I asked the staff about the on-site/golf course side bar/restaurant and what kind of food did they serve. He was 100% wrong. At that point it would be better to say you don't know rather than give a wrong answer. We were fine and this didn't affect our stay or satisfaction at all.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
