OUR HISTORY
Shook Cove Road is named after the Shook family, who lived on the shore of what is now Bear Creek Lake. The family created pewterware, commonly used in the Appalachian area, and shared their knowledge of the craft with others. The area where the Greeter’s Cottage is located is named Shook Cove; the cove extends from Bear Creek Lake up to Big Ridge Mountain. This was the former home of the Goldens, who grew crops and raised livestock on this land.
“It’s like we have a meaningful relationship with the landscape. You’re basically living with nature … it’s wildlife living, on a mountain, at a lake’s edge. It’s incredible here.”
– John Smith, Homeowner
Denver, Colorado
