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.

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.
I have Been going to Shadow Mountain Resort for the last 8 years with my family and always have the best experience- staff is wonderful and helpful; the rooms are always clean and the grounds are gorgeous.
Shadow Mountain Resort is a hidden gem! The staff is friendly, the grounds are beautifully maintained, and the location is perfect, close to shops, dining, and great golf. The pool area is relaxing, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. A great spot for a relaxing getaway!

We arrived well past the established check in hours, but they made arrangements to accommodate us and check in ended up being very easy, even at 1AM.
First time there, customer services was great.
Restaurant inside the property was amazing.
The villa we stayed was beautiful and clean. I will recommend this place to everybody and i will continue to visit.
