Imagine waking up every day to the smells of a hearty country breakfast. That’s exactly what you will find at this ranch. You will also find a quaint little chapel for those who would like to be married in such a beautiful location.
There are many different rooming options available at the ranch for those interested in staying here. The Enchanted Cottage is a Hansel and Gretel-esque is a cozy cottage with a private bathroom. The Victorian Rose is an antique room located in the main house and features a private bathroom as well.
Other rooms include Grandma’s Attic, featuring a private bathroom and is accessible via a wooden bridge. There’s also a luxurious treehouse available for those who wish to sleep in the trees. Perhaps the most unique accommodation offered is the Gnome House, built to resemble a tree stump. The private bathroom here includes a rock waterfall shower and sink area.
Finally, the Mill House room is the most rustic you can get. This room features “natural air conditioning” and a private outhouse. No electricity here!
Whether you are really “roughing it” at the Shadow Mountain Ranch remains to be seen. But you’ll find plenty to do and have lots of fun in “country heaven”!
