We’ve been coming to Shadow Mountain for over 9 years and love it every time. The villas are clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped with kitchenware. The beds are comfortable, the amenities are clean and well maintained, and the customer service is always outstanding. It’s a wonderful place to stay, and we highly recommend it.

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.

I was there with my sister, and we were very happy staying at this property. The room was clean and comfortable will stay again roomy and convenient with kitchen and all the amenities. As for staff front desk clerks were nice we really didn't need anything to get to know them how helpful they are but they were nice to sign us in and give us the keys. As for bar we didn't see any activities in that area it was closed all the time we were there. The pool has duck poop we didn't get in.

Great location close to El Paseo. Much quieter than any of the other larger resorts. Room a little dated but spotless and well appointed with kitchenwares. Loved the little patio area and easy pool access. If you play tennis or pickleball there are a ton of courts and even a little pro shop. Only downside was that the bar/cafe were closed for renovations and this was not made clear on booking or checking in. Note that most of the rooms are private owned. There is no room or maid service.

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!
