I cannot recommend this ranch enough if you are looking for a different kind of holiday. We went with no riding experience & came away with confidence and knowledge about horses. The staff take extra care to really understand you and your abilities and adapt your orientation accordingly. The trail rides are stunning!!! We did different treks each day and... More

I just spent a week photographing at the Hideout Ranch and can hardly wait to get back! There are no words good enough to describe the courtesy and professionalism of the staff. Tom, the head wrangler and his delightful wife Rebecca saw to our every need and were totally "hands on" every single day. Joel, the assistant wrangler is such... More

I just spent a very special week at the Hideout Ranch in Shell, Wyoming. I have to say that it was one of the very best vacations I have ever taken...the scenery is breathtaking, the accommodations were wonderful and the staff is extraordinary. I visited this wonderful place in the winter and although it's cold, we were blessed with beautiful... More

Imagine going to a destination where everything is arranged for your maximum comfort, in a setting straight out of a Western movie. Now stop imagining and make your reservations for a dream vacation at The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch.

I attended a winter photography workshop and the location was the Hideout Ranch. The accommodations were wonderful with breathtaking views of the Bighorn Mountains. The food served at the lodge is unsurpassed with a varied menu prepared by their on staff chef. I would go back if for nothing else, the food! The management and staff take a great deal... More

On these New Year's Day, I remember my trip to Shell, WY last year. Good food, charming staff and great rides. Twice we went for a whole day, from the morning when we left on snow and did the long crossing to Red Sedona Rock. Long sunny rides with beautiful vista points. We arrived just in time to see the...

I've been to The Hideout at least 10 times in the past 10 years. It is by far the best guest ranch I know, because of its combination of excellent comfort, real"gourmet" food, and first class horses. Recently they've started a mustang program, and among them are some of the finest horses I've ever ridden. Every evening, guests are asked... More

Beautiful setting in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Vast areas of land to ride on that require between 30 minutes to 90 minutes one way by horse trailer/truck to access. We had hoped to ride 6-8 hours per riding day but actually spent no more than 4 hours a day in the saddle. Cabins are well appointed and cozy.

Thank you for posting you comment about the riding at The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch. We will review the week you were here as it is very unsual that those riders who like to ride long hours in the saddle are limited to days of 4 hours. 2 to 3 hours is what we ride on our 1/2 day... More

The Hideout is what my Dad, sister and I call our "home away from home". We have been going to the Hideout for 7 years now and have shared so many wonderful memories as a family there! The horseback riding is fantastic and there is ride for every type of rider. You can go on scenic rides or see what... More
