The HideOut is magical. It is something out of a fairy tale. My wife and I just got married there on September 5th of this year (2015) and the experience exceeded out expectations.
My wife and I wanted an opportunity for our friends and family to spend genuine time together and truly get to know one another and The HideOut delivered all that and more. Equally as important as the place are the owners- BJ and Tom (and family). These are some of the most genuine and sweet people you will ever meet. They are truly talented, thoughtful, and just plain good people. Whenever it seemed we needed something Tom or BJ would magically appear on their 4 wheeler to check in on us and lend a hand.
The accommodations are like no where you have ever stayed...I guarantee it. The lodges were carefully crafted and designed by the owners themselves and is the perfect combination of wilderness and luxury. All bedrooms and bathrooms were sparkling clean and there is endless amount of storage for food and beverage.
Our wedding was perfect. The HideOut was perfect. And my wife and I truly believe if you are considering visiting that you go. The experience must be had. We are looking forward to doing a reunion in the winter one year.
From the bottom of our hearts...thank you Tom and BJ for helping to make this time in our lives so memorable. You are wonderful people and are amazed by your talent.

The resort includes a pristine lake, a hot tub nestled in the rocks and plenty of accommodations for a wedding party, family reunion, or other team event. The main lodge includes a full kitchen and several luxury guest rooms, while in the "saloon" next door there are dormitory style accommodations. We were there for a wedding and it was beautifully done. The ceremony took place on a rock platform in above the lake, while the reception was held in the "barn," a large and charming building. For those who were not staying on site, a shuttle was provided from the Kirkwood resort which was a nice touch since the party went on until well past midnight. As night fell and the weather grew chilly, fires and heat lamps were lit so there were plenty of places to keep warm. The owners are on the premises and go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a great time. We will remember this experience for a...

If you want to create an EXPERIENCE for your guests, choose the HideOut No noise curfew means it's the one place you can truly have a late-night party They have awesome people with very few rules (no fires, respect max # campers allowed) - other than that, they let you manifest your dream!

They have some infrastructure but you can bring in your own booze, rentals, catering, etc. - so you can curate your dream wedding (for food hire Blend or Camber Events! for drinks hire Pizen! for wedding planner hire Jenn Robirds Events!)
