We elected this remote cabin in Arkansas for our summary get away with family and friends. The cabin is situated between two streams looking out at a beautiful lake. It takes about 10 minutes from the main gate to travel on the graded road that winds around, and up and down (both vehicles, 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive, did fine even with the rain showers). The owner allowed us to charge our Tesla, too! There was plenty of room for the seven of us especially with 3 bathrooms (one on each floor). We enjoyed hiking (around the cabin, Mt. Nebo and Petit Jean), kayaking, roasting marshmallows, and playing games. Overall, it was a great vacation!

My wife and I wanted a quiet place in the woods all to ourselves, and Moon Shadow Lodge was ideal. The lodge made us feel like we were in a treehouse in the forest canopy, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching all the birds and looking out over the lake. We also enjoyed hiking on the nearby Turtle Trail where we saw some turtles. We kayaked on the lake, went swimming, took naps in our hammock, watched movies on the big couch in the living room, played pool in the downstairs game room, and soaked in the jacuzzi tub upstairs. Everything was wonderful!

This place is amazing! Coffee on that deck overlooking the lake just hits differently. Everything you need. Kids loved it. They enjoyed the lake and outdoors during the day and had the whole downstairs to relax at night. Very nice place!

This place is wonderful! This cabin itself is beautiful. We enjoyed the game room and spent every night playing games with a fire burning in the fireplace. Mornings on the deck with coffee were nice too. There is a great view. It's a relatively easy walk to the water but it is not just a simple walk out the back door. Bring your own fishing poles. We forgot to grab ours and were sad about it. The roads coming in are not for the inexperienced. You want to come in when it's daylight and pay attention to the signs! My only real gripe is about the hot tub. It's a garden tub with jets in the upstairs bathroom. I was told it fills with filtered well water but still had a yellow tint from some mineral left over. I was okay with that but I was not okay with the dirt floating around. I would check your water for dirt before getting in. We'd definitely come back, just no baths next time!

Great

This cabin is an awesome getaway at the bottom of a hillside forest. Switchback roads required to get in, but we had two two wheel drive vehicles handle it with no issue. One a Cadillac car. Between the basement game room, canoes, walks up the mountain and along the shore, October playoff baseball, campfire, and good food we planned and bought before getting there- we never left. Dugan was super responsive. House is great. Bathrooms and big walk in showers are great, with blow up mattresses this house could sleep 20. I’m sure this is a Great Lake house in the summer with the water just yards away.

The owner is amazing, he picked a beautiful piece of lake front property to build a rustic luxury huge cabin, arguably one of the most beautiful homes on the lake, pool table downstairs, a two story fireplace to cuddle up on any floor. A gorgeous wrap around deck, cozy beds, gourmet kitchen, I mean if u didn’t go outside you would have sn amazing vacation but go outside and sit on back porch and look at the lake!! Walk down to the beach and stroll around, it’s all yours !! Be sure to ask for property map, he has all the private trails and points of interest marked on it for you to explore!! It’s a huge piece of land. A week stay and you could not see everything!! The beach access was gorgeous with so many different spots to sunbathe on the rocky cliffs or watch the stars at nite !! We loved this place. Loved it

This place is amazing. The photos do not do it justice. As a realtor I would suggest that the owner invest in some professional photos. No doubt this place would stay booked!! There is a beautiful private cove that we spend most of our time in with the kids. The water activities and supplies were an extra bonus. There was plenty of space for our family of 7 with room to spare. The only thing is the store is a good distance away so definitely write a grocery list and prepare for the days ahead. The drive down is a little nerve wracking. We are from the very flat state of Louisiana. Lol. So I was extremely nervous driving my Yukon down the gravel road with the mountain slopes and loose gravel. I wouldn’t suggest it in a car unless you are familiar with how to drive down that type of terrain. We would no doubt stay again and definitely recommend this place to anyone!!

We loved this property, it was our 2nd time there in 5 years. Plenty of room for everybody and a great spot on the lake, highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time at Moonshadow Lodge! Our party included 5 teens and an eight year old. The property was very clean and had everything we could need…we cooked every night and grilled. The kids loved fishing off the property and caught bass, bream, sun perch, and catfish. They also had a blast canoeing and kayaking, swimming, hiking Turtle Trail, and playing pool, ping pong and football. We took a couple days and went trout fishing on the Little Red River and limited out on rainbow trout. We also rented a pontoon boat and took the kids tubing! The view from the lodge is just beautiful! Great responsiveness and communication from the owner and we never had any issues! The kids had an absolute blast and we would rent this place again in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing this beautiful place!

Fabulous time. Beautiful property right on the lake. Stocked with everything you need and then some. Definitely need a 4 wheel drive getting in and out! We had a blast!!

The house was great. The decor was warm and the views were spectacular. The road getting there was a little rough so 4 wheel drive is recommended especially in the winter.

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!

Enjoyed staying at this property for a wedding this past weekend. Will stay again!

The house is great! It fit our three generations of family perfectly; a suite upstairs for parents, a grandparents room on the main floor so minimal stairs to climb and a kids/game room down below. Great view and direct access to the lake. Interesting drive down to it, best done with four-wheel drive. Dugan was the best host we’ve ever stayed with and we’ve stayed in many vacation homes. Read everything on the website and you won’t be disappointed

Great property with plenty to do!

We had all of our kids and grandkids come stay for a whole week and everything was perfect. Dugan was great as well!

Everything has worked very well each time I rented - Mr Dugan ( as my grands say) is easy and available to communicate. It’s a beautiful place!!

Great host loved the property!

Moon Shadow was one of the best lake houses we have stayed in. The house was super clean and well stocked. The area was beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better house and location on the lake. Very secluded but still has internet access. Fishing was great also even though it was super windy and rainy most of our trip.

The house was great once we got to it, but the road to get to it off of Alum Cave Road was a little scary. We were fine in my husbands truck so we left our other vehicles at the venue (the Barn at Greers Ferry Lake) to go back and forth.

Words and pictures do not do it justice! You have to see and experience it for yourself to truly appreciate the beauty of this peaceful property. Even our two teen boys loved it! Dugan was an amazing host and from the very start gave us all the information we would need to arrive, settle in and make the most of our stay. Whether it was hiking along the shore, on trails through the trees, canoeing on the lake or just relaxing with a book in one of the many vantage points from which you can enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature, you really cannot go wrong booking this property!

I’ve stayed in many cabins, and this by far was the best. The property has well water, but the owner has gone above and beyond to provide filtered water for his patrons. There is also an ice machine…it really is the little things that make a stay perfect! The only suggestion I have is to put a queen bed in the dungeon room and move the bunk beds into the game room. We had three families stay, and one had to sleep on the bunk beds. We would make this our annual trip if that was changed. I loved every aspect!

Wow! This property exceeded our expectations! We're always looking for properties that allow for exploring while also providing the level of comfort we prefer! This place had that and then some! Bring your mountain bikes and climbing legs to get the full experience. Start to finish Dugan was an exceptional host. We will definitely be back when the weather's warmer, and we can play in the water after riding bikes.

This booking is a great place to get away from the day to day and reconnect with the family. The drive down to the cabin is breathtaking. The view from the lodge is amazing. We could ask for nothing more from a booking. This particular weekend just happened to be the worst winter storm of the season but we still had a great time an adventure that will not soon be forgotten. Mr. King is a one of a kind hoist he was extremely attentive. He went above and beyond to ensure we were enjoying his lodge. This community and the people that live there is a rare find. With all you see wrong on tv and social media these days. This community came together to help strangers no questions asked. They are the people that make this Country the best place in the world to live. Thanks to everyone in this great and gracious community. See y’all this summer.

We are well traveled, so it is quite difficult to impress us, that said-We are beyond impressed with the surrounding property, the home, Dugan (The owner.) and with the beauty of this special place. It is paradise! Although there are numerous tv’s there-we never even turned one on. We did a ton of exploring and hiking. Sitting on the deck, grilling and looking out over the peaceful lake. A lot of bonding time. Our host Dugan was attentive, gracious and friendly. Not just a super host, but a super duper host. We can’t wait to return! We already miss Moon Shadow!!

We loved our weekend, cabin getaway! It was accommodating for all ages! It was the perfect, low key, relaxing time we needed!

The perfect place to get away from civilization and spend time with your family. The lodge was spectacular , spacious, with plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful layout inside and out and not to mention the view of the lake was amazing. Also, walks along the lake shore is like no other, with the rock formations for your waters edge....Stunning! Communication with the owner was very prompt and willing to accommodate to our needs. He even searched 3 counties for us, firewood and delivered just before we arrived. Thanks Dugan, for the wood and the stay at your beautiful property. We hope to return someday.

My husband, 2 dogs and I enjoyed 3 weeks at Moon Shadow. Friends joined us for a couple of long weekends to enjoy the perfect get away. This property provided beautiful views of Greers Ferry Lake, trails to hike, a place for a bonfire with friends, and when temps dropped a fire in the fireplace. The property manager was extremely helpful and checked in by text periodically to make sure all was well. If you are looking for a real get away in a lovely home Moon Shadow is the perfect place.

We had the best trip! The views are breathtaking and it was everything we thought it would be and more!! We will definitely be coming back to visit. Thank you, Dugan. 😊

I recommend this property 100%. You will not be disappointed at all.

Overall we had a very good experience and thought the house was very nice and well appointed. There are two things that I think could really be improved on. First is the mattress on the bed in the king bedroom. Honestly it is one of if the hardest mattress I have ever tried to sleep on and made sleeping very difficult and painful. I would suggest some type of topper or a new and softer mattress. Secondly is the grill needs to have the charcoal grate replaced or the entire grill should be replaced. Charcoal kept falling through the grate and caused issues. As nice as the house is it should have a nicer grill. Again overall we had a great stay and would rent this location again.
