The Shadow Mountain Escape (SME) compound features a crystal clear mountain stream, fish pond, mountain views, and a woodland nature trail. Discover the many varieties of wildlife, fauna, and other natural thrills resident in Jewell Hollow while enjoying the countless nearby attractions and adventures.

Take a spring stroll with your loved one in the solitude of Jewell Hollow along the racing waters of a clear mountain stream. Hunt mushrooms on a misty morning under the brilliant canopy of the fall forest. Enjoy the wafting smoke of a barbecue while relaxing in the shade after a hot summer day in the Shenandoah River. See the magnificent stars on a clear winter night unspoiled by artificial light. Regardless of the season, there are always magical moments for you to seize at Shadow Mountain Escape.

Shadow Mountain Escape specializes in serving couples and small friend groups. All guests receive a clean climate controlled timber frame cabin with comfortable beds, full kitchen, satellite television, DVD, and modern amenities for comfortable living. We are an energy efficient "Virginia Green" business with an on-site recycling center for our guests to utilize. Our guests receive a complimentary welcome basket with home baked goods.

We provide an atmosphere welcoming to all European and foreign guests. We also provide our guests with personalized service and trip planning assistance if requested. Shadow Mountain Escape is proudly privately owned and operated.

Our private "La Cantina" was inspired by our many visits to Europe. We wanted to capture that special atmosphere for our guests that we've only found in the authentic settings of a German "Stube" or a Tuscan "Cantina"! "La Cantina" was christened during our first Riddle Family Reunion in January 2006. This special room is available to our "VIP" guests and adult functions upon request. It offers guests a unique private space where they can gather and socialize without the space limitations of the private cabins. The lodge has an observation tower, which provides a striking view of the ridge line (Skyline drive) and surrounding forest for guests to enjoy.
