The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch

The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch is the only place in the world where I have returned for a vacation a second time in my life. The very cozy Casitas are nestled in an endless and incredibly beautiful landscape. I felt extremely comfortable in the tasteful and high-quality rustic ambience, with the very warm-hearted team at the Lodge. What I particularly appreciated is the professionalism with which the owners Marijn, Peter and Victor and the entire wrangler team keep an eye on the needs of the Hideout horses and those of their guests. I found the selection of horses to riders to be extremely good. Which ultimately became noticeable in the relaxed and enjoyable rides and day trips. Horses and riders were happy together - and that is very precious and makes the time at the Lodge an unforgettable experience. And October 2024 certainly won't be the last time, that I want to return to the Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch in Wyoming!

Spectacular! This was our third trip to the Hideout. The horses are excellently trained, well maintained, and are an absolute pleasure to ride. The wranglers and horses took us mountain climbing, bushwacking, and loping through the open range. We also had the quiet beauty of walking through tumbling creeks and eating lunch under the sunlit trees. If you like to ride this is the ranch for you. Hospitality is a priority at the Hideout.

Our fourth return trip to this western paradise was the best yet! I've never been disappointed in the amenities or the staff during past visits, but they all went out of their way to make the guests happy and feel heard and pampered. Exceptional wranglers willing to go above and beyond to set up the guests for success in riding was what set this experience apart this year. I can't wait for our next trip.

This is my third year in a row. I do a fair amount of riding at home. Arenas and trails and cows. The trail riding at the Hideout is beautiful, fun and challenging. The beauty of this business is that they take you on rides that suit your abilities. This year there were 10 of us from Idaho and everyone had a great time because we were comfortable with the riding experience. Half days or full days, your choice. The food has been great every year. The staff are fun and knowledgeable. The rooms are perfect. Honestly, I can’t think of one negative about the Hideout. I can’t wait for next year. I can’t seem to kick it off my bucket list. Thank you to all the Hideout staff.

My dream was to gallop across a field in big sky country. While Big Sky country is considered Montana, Shell Wyoming and the Big Horn mountains delivered! From an amazing welcoming arrival at the gorgeous resort, this ranch and the family that run it and their staff are amazing. The accomplished and friendly Wranglers make sure that you and your horse are a good fit and guide you on trails that the horses are well suited for. I rode across countryside that I’ve only ever seen in westerns and up-and-down mountains. The horses were amazing and I got to ride my first Mustang-Peter Pan; he was adorable! The wranglers made sure we had plenty of pictures of each of us in the incredible landscape and vistas. Although I came for the riding, I took a break mid week and did some clay shooting and nailed a bull’s-eye in archery. That afternoon we took a horsemanship clinic with the owner. I can’t say enough about this place, The food was amazing, and it was special to eat together at the big dining table in the lodge. I went as a solo, but came away with several new friends. Don’t hesitate; this will be your best riding adventure ever!
