“This was our 3rd stay at Shadow Ridge. Each time we leave, we’re excited to plan a trip to return. This is our favorite resort to visit with our young children as it is very safe and family friendly. We enjoy the activities and amenities.”
Erica S.“Our family had a fantastic spring break at this property. The villa was spacious and had everything we needed. The kids loved the family pool, as well as the Snake bite pool (parent’s favorite). The kids participated in some of the activities and movie night while swimming.”
Cara S.“2 bed 2 bath, plenty of space for 2 couples. We loved the hot salt pool. Location was perfect, middle of all the valley cities, good for all the baseball fields we used during our weekend tournament. Did not get to use property to its fullest, but looked family friendly, multiple pools, waterslide, golf course, gym, and more.”
