"Just back from a 5 day stay at Hideout Ranch. I cannot rave enough about this ranch. The staff, the horses, the food, the whole package was absolutely amazing. With this having been our 5th ranch vacation, having stayed at different guest ranches across the United States over the last few years, Hideout takes the prize! It wasn't the same old ride each day like at most guest ranches.

Each day greeted us with a different ride and a different adventure. The scenery is unsurpassed. Each ride was very different than the others, and safety of both the horse and the rider was always at the top of the list!

The horses are extremely well cared for, friendly and absolutely surefooted! As a horsewoman myself, I'm very picky when it comes to horse care. Hideout Ranch treats each horse as family. They're well cared for, well fed and well groomed. Their happiness shows when they're out on the trail. They're a delightful herd, each with their own unique personalities!! The tack used was all high quality, not a bunch of old dusty synthetic saddles and nylon bridles like a lot of ranches use now. Each horse was carefully selected for my family members, and everyone was delighted with their steed!

Jerry's cooking was amazing! From the gallons of coffee brewing over the open fire at breakfast, to the downright delicious dessert following each dinner, the food was wonderful!

Tamara and Craig, we shall return! My only regret was booking only 5 days. We're in serious Hideout withdraw!

Happy Trails!"

"Having recently gotten married, we wanted our honeymoon to be adventurous which is why we headed to Hideout! Right from the start the owners, Tamara and Craig, were extremely helpful with our emails and queries. They were genuinely interested in our plans and wanted to make our holiday so special. It felt like they were a very personal company instead of many other ranch companies that pull you in on a conveyor belt. Upon arrival at the Hideout Ranch our expectations were met. Tamara and Craig are such lovely people and we both enjoyed their company immensely. They were so thoughtful and considerate to us, making it a wonderful experience all round. Our trip was fantastic - we started our 2 day camp out with Craig and explored some outstanding scenery and countryside, pure cowboy style! The horses were chosen to meet our ability and they were just awesome. My wife has never ridden a horse before, but she coped well due to how well trained they were. We had our independence on a horse with added security and knowledge that we were safe on these lovely animals. Our evening camp out was fantastic. We had some gorgeous home cooked food on a fire, one or two beers with Craig and even some Champagne to celebrate our marriage. The evening finished off in some unique cowboy beds looking up at the bright starry sky. Wow!!!  Overall, this experience was amazing....it was exactly what we were after. Such friendly and kind people added with a true wilderness experience has been unforgettable. Thanks Tamara and Craig - we are already thinking about returning very soon.

"The scenery was gorgeous. Ike was very surefooted, and let me know that I could relax and leave a longer rein without losing control (it had been a good eight years since I’d ridden and I’d been concerned about how I’d manage on horseback after so long away – he made it easy!). Jerry’s cooking was a great way to begin and end each day. I was lucky enough to be the only guest at the time, everyone made me feel so welcome, and it ended up being a great way to celebrate my birthday. I plan on returning and this time bedding down in one of those new bunkhouses being built on the ranch – they were shaping up nicely when I was there, but the recent pictures show them complete now and so inviting!"
