Moon Shadow Lodge is everything described, and more. The location is amazing - a peaceful lake cove with a walkable gorgeous lakeshore on either side. The water was low enough for us to walk up and down naturally-formed steps of sparkling granite, discover intricate rock formations and enjoy breathtaking views of lake, trees, and sky. We turned all the lights off at night and immersed ourselves in the starlight sky. The spirit of the place really shines through!
And in the middle of pristine nature, we had a "five star" experience in a wonderfully-designed and appointed lake house. The kitchen is the best equipped we've experienced in a rental, with top of the line appliances, cookware and gadgets. It was a pleasure to leisurely cook our meals while taking in the views. The details of the house made it really special, with original wood and stone everywhere. But the bathrooms really take the cake. We felt like we were at a spa, excellent showers with intricate stone work and beautiful everything else in the room. The jacuzzi tub for two is the bomb!
Finally, Dugan the owner was a wonderful host. Totally accessible by text and phone, which was great because the house is very secluded so it made us very comfortable to know that we could reach him at any time.
Moon Shadow Lodge is a great romantic getaway, but it's really set up perfectly for families with three separate floors and a lot of private spaces.
Thank you, Dugan, for sharing your amazing retreat with us and being a great host!
