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

Fabulous Scenery, Fabulous Horses, Fabulous Accomodations

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

As a life-long horse person, I can't say enough about the quality of the horses, the tack, the barns, the wrangler/guides, the barns, the trails.... It was all, in a word, stellar. Our party of four was treated to three different horses in five days, all of which were rock-solid and yet responsive. As advertised, this is NOT a nose-to-tail trail ride. They only have about 25 riders each week, and on any given day I don't think our group of riders was ever bigger than six or maybe eight. They take great care to select a horse for you that fits your skillset and your physical size. I just can't complement them enough on the whole trail ride management. Our accommodations were likewise above my expectations. This is not a run-of-the-mill operation. We chose a slightly higher-end room called the "Casitas." The daily housekeeping was also excellent and quite unexpected. I assumed with a condo-like unit we would take care of our own housekeeping so that was a welcome surprise. The welcome baskedt with with a bottle of wine and a few assorted snacks was a lovely touch. In short, I can't wait for an opportunity to go back. Worth every penny. But next time, we may go in the "shoulder" season, when the temperatures will be under 100 degrees.

A Perfect Week

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Amazing week riding well-cared for horses through exceptionally beautiful terrain with accomplished wranglers. All followed by excellent food and luxurious cabins complete with A/C. And when we were not riding, eating or sleeping there was a wonderful hot-tub, pool, trap shooting, fishing and birding. I wish I could give 10 stars to this place that is impeccably run in a glorious part of the world.

Very Memorable Vacation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Our Hideout riding vacation was everything we could have hoped for. The beautiful setting of the ranch itself, the clean and well appointed room, the amazing scenery on our daily rides, and the professional, friendly wranglers made this vacation so special. The horses were healthy, even keeled, and responsive not to mention gorgeous. They were all sure footed and willing to trot or lope when asked. There were many repeat visitors the week we were there, and I can see why people keep coming back. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The owners ate dinner with us a couple of nights and shared many memorable stories. I would highly recommend The Hideout for an amazing riding vacation.

Unforgettable Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months 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.
