Step out of your car and BREATHE. You will immediately be greeted by the sound of rushing Fowler Creek, a beautiful, cascading mountain stream and all your stress will melt away. Welcome to "Shadow's Creek Lodge!" This authentic, hand-hewn, three level, custom log lodge fulfills every mountaineer’s dream. This secluded home is situated at over 3,000 feet elevation, on almost 3 acres and borders 80+ acres of US Forest Service land yet it is minutes from the Cashiers' crossroads and downtown Highlands. It is spacious enough for the entire family and equipped with a game room that will entertain all the kids and kids-at-heart. Enjoy a meal or simply sit out on the oversized upper and lower decks to enjoy the sounds of the creek, the lush forest or the view of the stunning mountain ridge beyond. Make your way down to the creek from various access points and explore the many pools, mini-waterfalls and giant boulders. Gather around the outdoor custom stone fire pit for s'mores and stories.
Upon entering the home, you will notice the soaring ceilings, beautiful wide-planked wood floors and floor-to-ceiling stack stone, gas burning fireplace. There are four bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 2 queens, 1 queen and a bunk bed), a loft with 2 twin sleeper sofas, and a queen sleeper downstairs. There are four full bathrooms, three with claw-foot tubs and two with separate tiled showers. All of the bathrooms boast replicas of vintage wall mounted, pull-chain toilets. The lodge is beautifully decorated throughout and is filled with vintage antiques and custom, hand-crafted furniture and hardware.
For the chef, our fully-equipped gourmet kitchen meets every foodie's demands. It is a mix of handmade antique pieces and modern appliances. You will find a double-oven, a six-top Dacor gas stove and every pot/pan/gadget you can imagine. Perfect for preparing and then enjoying large family meals on either the indoor or outdoor custom, hand-crafted dining tables. We invite you to read our review by "The Front Porch Gourmet" on line by Chef Melissa!
Going beyond the standard amenities, our loaded game room is complete with a 55 inch flat-screen smart TV, billiards, air hockey, ping-pong, foosball, cards, chess/checkers, and various board games. A second stack stone, gas fireplace is at the ready with a click of a button. You will find two other TVs in the lodge, a 32 inch in the master and a 55 inch in the loft. Need a little quiet time? Cozy-up with a book in our stocked library.
Enjoy the modern conveniences of home including washer and 2 dryers, dishwasher, central heat and air, YouTube TV and high speed fiber Wifi. Please note that this is the mountains and cell service can be spotty but calls can be made over the Wifi. We hope you can un-plug, get back to nature and relax at Shadow's Creek, like Shadow, the beloved Black Labrador retriever the lodge was named after.
You will have all you need at the lodge, but if you decide to venture out, there are a multitude of activities. Hiking, waterfalls, dining, shopping, golfing, boating and so much more awaits you.
