About this property

Ozark Mountain Paradise - Greek Ferry Lake - Moon Shadow Lodge

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!

To learn more about the lake check out this site:

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.

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.

The Tree House

The treehouse is absolutely beautiful. The location is unbelievably gorgeous in the woods. The trails are very inviting. We took ATVs and enjoyed our ride. We rented an order to have all the amenities that was offered online. There were small things that was upsetting such as some things that were not cleanly, swing, sits or swings, not on the bottom floor or nothing to sit on to walk out to the water or see the water from the game room. There’s just things that are worn in time has done that we were disappointed in that regard. The bunkbeds are so noisy and Move so much you would not want to sleep on them just out of safety or to get sleep through the night. It was beautiful again, gorgeous, looking at the water and peaceful by the surroundings. But what was shared on the website and pictures is not exactly what’s there, including a place to park a boat and to walk out and swim, you can park a boat at a distance, but the picture shows no trees and that you could pull right up…game pieces are missing out of games. Those are just a few things that concerned us because we rented for these reasons. The owner is extremely kind and is glad to talk with you at any time needed. He even checked on us while we were there!

Beautiful spot to relax

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!

Wedding at the barn

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.

Thanksgiving Getaway

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.

Beautiful and Secluded

We wanted nothing more from the scenery, and the cabin. The area and the views are both beautiful, and the well stocked cabin was breathtaking. From the dungeon game room and large balcony to the beaches and native rocks there was always something to do for fun. The only thing I would suggest is to place more emphasis on how rugged and steep the road to the cabin is, and terrain around the cabin. You will not be disappointed with this place.

Private and relaxing

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!

Secluded

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!

It wasn’t until the booking was complete, that the details of the roads and the seclusion were really revealed. We are all over 60 and the terrain was more than we anticipated.

Mountain Lake Home Getaway

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.

Amazing 3 story cabin on private cove with trails and everything you could dream of !!!

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

Wonderful property and location!

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!
