About the Hotel

The Hideout is located east of Cody and Yellowstone National Park in the hamlet of Shell in the foothills of The Big Horn Mountains. Located East of Cody and Yellowstone Park in Shell, Wyoming, we are an all-inclusive, upscale riding and horsemanship guest ranch limited to 25 guests weekly for a 6-night stay. Family owned and operated since over 25 years, we offer a very personal, small, and intimate Western riding experience. While The Hideout offers a limited number of non-riding activities like trap shooting, archery and takes pride in a nice, heated lap pool, this ranch is all about riding, horsemanship, and horses. Elevations in this area range from 4,200 to 13,100 feet and offer a unique variety of terrain and scenery resulting in a broad range of climates and biodiversity. With close to 650,000 acres to explore you will seldom ride the same trail twice or feel crowded. Perfect does not exist, but our goal at The Hideout is to offer our guests an almost perfect riding and equestrian experience, hiding out from the rest of the world. This is a truly unique place where everybody, guests, staff, and horses feels cared for and respected.

Reviews for The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch

Unforgettable Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

An experience of a lifetime! Went for mother/daughter trip and everything was perfect. The ranch itself is gorgeous, the food is amazing, the hospitality is even better! The horse are LOVELY, and the wranglers are some of the best. They help you improve your riding, whatever you are comfortable with. This is the dude ranch to check out. Owners are amazing. Met many new friends. The Wyoming desert has a sacred beauty and transcendental views. A vacation that will never be forgotten. Will return, and would recommend 15/10.

Hospitality & Horsemanship at their best!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

A unique adventure in and around the Big Horn Mountains. Skilled, helpful wranglers (all women!) will guide you and your well-trained and well-cared for horse thorough the breathtaking landscapes around the Big Horn Mountains. Rides are designed for both expert and beginner riders and everyone in between. Delicious meals are prepared by an on-site chef and his crew to fortify you after a day of riding. Luxury accommodations (don't let the rustic appearance of the log cabins fool you!) await you at the end of the day. The entire staff was helpful, responsive, and there to ensure you had the best possible experience. The Hideout is a world class experience and I can't wait to return!

A week I will always remember

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

I just got back from an incredible week at The Hideout Lodge and Guest Ranch in the Bighorn Mountains, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. I went as a solo traveler and from the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease. The entire staff created such a warm, friendly atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and fully enjoy the experience. One of the absolute highlights for me was the horses, especially Comanche and Pepper who I got to ride. I do ride frequently, but I still feel a bit nervous from time to time, and these two were amazing. They were calm, responsive, and made me feel safe and supported every step of the way. Thanks to them, I was able to relax, build confidence, and reconnect with what I truly love about riding. I really appreciated seeing all the horses have such a great life and I got a strong feeling they really like what they do! The wrangler team deserves a special mention, they were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely inspiring to ride with. They created such a supportive environment and really helped build my confidence in the saddle. You could tell how much they care about both the horses and the guests. Beyond the riding in this incredible environment, everything else was just as impressive. The food was consistently delicious and the lodging was comfortable, cozy, and perfect for the mountain setting. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, beautiful scenery, amazing people, and moments I’ll carry with me for a long time. I’m already thinking about when I can go back.

A 5 star Western riding holiday

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

I spent a week at The Hideout with a friend (who had been previously) and I was blown away! First and foremost the horses were amazing: very well trained and totally trustworthy. I rode Margot and Pépé. The wranglers were all welcoming, kind and I’d put a special shout out to Caroline who made our last ride so very memorable. The riding is quite frankly stunning - the choice of rides means you experience different scenery each time. We were lucky enough to be in Wyoming just as the aspens were turning gold - it was breathtaking. The food was delightful, our casita was perfect and finally the hosts Peter and Marijn were warm and like the whole team there made you feel instantly welcome. I really cannot praise The Hideout any higher. If you want to experience a Western riding holiday in stunning scenery I would strongly recommend you start here! You won’t be disappointed.
