About this property
Moon Shadow Lodge on Greers Ferry Lake
Ozark Mountain Paradise in Arkansas
The perfect escape from civilization ... Moon Shadow Lodge is set deep in a primeval forest ... mystical and magical in all four seasons ... perfect for friends ... lovers ... honeymooners ... family reunions ... church groups ... business associates ... film makers and nature lovers.
The Lodge is set between two cascading waterfalls that flow into Water Step Cove after every rain. It is surrounded by a gated wilderness of 250 private acres and rises out of the ground on a solid foundation of Ozark native stone with white cedar logs and huge insulated picture windows framing a panoramic view of our beautiful Greers Ferry Lakefront. Here is where you can find Seclusion, Tranquility, Luxury, Adventure and Excitement in our Enchanted Emerald Forest!
With 2800 square feet of interior floor space and 1800 square feet of decks and covered breezeways ... the Lodge has a total of 4600 square feet of enjoyable spaces ... like a giant treehouse. Greers Ferry Lake is one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the Ozark Mountains ... spread across two counties in north central Arkansas ... with pristine waters for swimming, skiing, scuba diving and world class fishing,
ON THE ROAD TO PARADISE Your adventure begins the moment you turn left off scenic Alum Cave Road and arrive at the gated entrance to the Cascadia Wilderness ... framing an incredible view of Greers Ferry Lake ... 500 feet (50 stories) below ... with the Ozark Mountain Highlands rising in the distance.
After passing through the gate you will descend down the terraces of Cascadia Pass ... through one mile of jungle like terrain ... winding slopes with panoramic views ... until you arrive at Moon Shadow Lodge and Water Step Cove ... a remote paradise ... a 5 Star operation ... check out our reviews since we opened for business in 2016.
The Cascadia Wilderness is ideal for hiking, mountain biking and four wheeling with a network of woodland trails to explore ... along the lake ... through mountain passes ... and deep down in shady hollows ... put on a bandana ... and follow the trails ...in any season you will have a blast. Be safe and respect the forest!
Why travel overseas when you can enjoy an exotic and luxurious waterfront lodge... near the center of the USA!
Disappear into the emerald forests of the Ozark Mountains ... hide out in the Arkansas Highlands ... remote, relaxing, luxurious and fun.
The calming effect is amazing!! Become one with Nature!
Enjoy the blazing summer sunsets, scarlet moonlights and stellar constellations ... listen to an incredible chorus of birds, insects, whispering winds, rustling leaves, lapping waves and trickling waters. On a clear night you should turn off the lights ... sit on the deck and enjoy the sensations.
On a stormy night you can often just turn off the lights to watch a spectacular lightning show over the lake ... and then go hiking with a camera the next morning to check out the waterfalls.
With a good camera, some good hiking or climbing shoes, a backpack, bug spray and a tall walking stick ... you will completely forget about your smart phone or tablet!
The Lodge is nestled deep in a hollow between mountain and lake ... with a heavenly place to swim, fish, dive, boat ... or just relax on a big flat rock to catch the brilliant sunsets lighting up the sky.
On either side of Water Step Cove lies Moon Shadow Beach ... with a beautiful view of Sugarloaf Island National Trail rising out of the lake to the east ... and the brilliant sunsets that slowly disappear behind Choctaw Ridge to the west. The soft shale beach is interspersed with stacks of wide flat rocks making it easy to step or dive into the clear blue water.
Instead of sea shells ... here you can hunt for magical "Aetites," the Greek word for Eaglestones. These unusual looking stones ... a mixture of iron, sand and clay ... were once rented as magic amulets to pregnant ladies by sorcerers in ancient pagan times to protect their unborn child from the evil demoness with many names ... such as Lilith or Gello. Some stones are quite interesting, beautiful and useful as ashtrays or baby shower gifts.
The pictures fail to fully illustrate the beauty of the Lodge and it's incredible setting ... so we created a face book page for "Moon Shadow Lodge" where you can go to learn more about this special place ... or share photographs and post stories about your exotic experience in this Ozark Mountain Paradise.
A prior world record Walleye was caught not far from the Lodge ... and below the John F. Kennedy Dam on the Little Red River you will find world record Trout!

Our goal is to make your stay unforgettable ... and if you find it difficult to leave ... we have 3 acre lots for sale on Paradise Lane and smaller lots on Alum Cave Road ... all with panoramic views of the lake, the mountains and the forest. Check out the map. I would be more than happy to take you on a tour.

This is a private cabin on the lake, which is exactly what we wanted. It was very clean. The kitchen is spacious and it was easy to prepare our meals. The lake was beautiful and quiet - we spent lots of time on the lake swimming and kayaking (they have 6 kayaks). We really enjoyed and will definitely come again!
This property is absolutely STUNNING! It’s so close to the water, for easy access to your boat daily! The inside is super clean! The decor and amenities are top notch! We cannot wait to come back!
Mood Shadow is a terrific place for the family to get away for a great lake experience. It's right on the water with a private cove right in front of the cabin. Sugarloaf Marina is only about 25 minutes to rent a boat and enjoy Greer's Ferry Lake. The actual driveway to Moon Shadow is an 'experience' and 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle is probably best. But, if you take your time, it's not a problem at all. My family loved this spot!
We stayed at the property over the weekend for a wedding at a nearby venue. The owner's email was comprehensive and accurate. Great for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Definitely off the beaten path.
Right on the water, great for all ages. Moon shadow is a beautiful cozy place to stay any season. Has everything you need to enjoy the lake and the surrounding wilderness. Private and peaceful. I would suggest and awd or 4wd vehicle for the drive up and down especially if youre not accustomed to driving a mountain road or trails as the road to the lodge is steep and narrow in some sections. The host was wonderful and answered any questions immediately. Definitely one of the best host ive experienced.
We went as a group and thoroughly enjoyed both the indoors and outdoors. A lot of space inside and so much area to roam outdoors. Very secluded and cozy while still being close enough to town to pick up goods if needed. Would definitely go back!
Fantastic cove on the lake with some of the easiest lake access on the lake. House has everything you need or want. The drive to the house is worth it! Will do it again!
A true escape from the daily life and full immersion into nature. Loved everything about this place! We look forward to returning with other family members. The water is beautifully clear. The hiking paths are a great way to get exercise while enjoying the surrounding nature! Loved it!
Great property. Basically you can find everything you need to prepare meals and enjoy some time with your family. Quiet place to relax and enjoy the nature. Mr. Dugan was a great helper providing all the help my family needed.
This was a great property for a large family with a couple of places for large groups and many areas to sit and enjoy the quiet alone. It is a bit of a drive back to the property, which for us was perfect. There are lots of things to do such as sitting around the fire, kayaking, hiking, etc. The downstairs game room was a hit for the everyone. I would definitely recommend this VRBO.
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!!
We loved this lodge. Have everything that my family needed.
We spent lots of time swimming. The water was great this time of the year. The house deck has an amazing view and you can watch and listen to the birds.
We had a wonderful stay. Great location and great views. I love that it was stocked with essentials.
One suggestion would be to fix the bunks downstairs from squeaking so bad. My kids loved the bunks but didn’t care for the noise they made when they climbed in and out.
