Main Lodge and Grounds of The Hideout
The Main Lodge is a large, Western-style log structure built in 1992. This building houses an entryway, The Hideout Store & Gift Shop that leads you to the office, the spacious dining room
with nearby pantry and kitchen, and loft bar. The Main Lodge's large windows and porches overlooking the green lawns and ponds offer ever-changing vistas. The view from the dining room of Shell Canyon and the Big Horn Mountains is simply spectacular, sure to enhance your breakfast, lunch or dinner time experience.
Guests typically gather every evening for cocktail hour in the loft bar. Complimentary appetizers are served while
enjoying your beverage of choice and reviewing the photos of the day shown on a large screen. Then guests are served a gourmet dinner in the dining room, at large tables so you can mingle with fellow guests. One evening a week, there is after-dinner entertainment by cowboy singers.
There are also two roomy guest suites in the Main Lodge, which except for king-size beds, feature similar amenities as the nearby guest cabins.
On the lower level of the Main Lodge are additional guest facilities: Comfy armchairs and books, tables for the board and card games, a rec room, and pool table. There's an entertainment area with a big-screen TV accompanied by a selection of Western movies on DVD. A guest computer with high-speed internet access. Plus there are laundry facilities for the convenience of the guests (washer, detergent, couple dryers).
The Main Lodge is surrounded by well-groomed lawns, shade trees, and refreshing ponds. Paved walkways that are lit after dark, lead one to the casitas and cabins and other amenities such as the outdoor hot tub and shower facilities. Shell Creek winds through the property, which along with the fishing ponds, provide catch-and-release fishing right on the grounds.
Along with the barn and arena, the Main Lodge is the heartbeat of The Hideout operation. From where we cater to your every comfort. And when you arrive at The Hideout for your stay, this is where you are welcomed by our staff.
All this because you are neither customer nor client at the Ranch, but a guest of the Flitner family and dedicated staff. Each year, guests from around the world return to partake of our authentic Western experience and warm Wyoming hospitality, worthy of our century long heritage. They recreate, renew friendships, and rejuvenate at their home away from home.
You too can find yourself at The Hideout.
