Open year around, you won't be able to decide which of the four seasons is the best.
Just driving up to the property will make you stop and take pictures. The 5,000 sq ft. Lodge/home has 5 bedroom suites with two kitchens and decks that sit right on the water.
The Saloon is the entertainment center with its old west bar/saloon on the main floor. Upstairs are two more bedrooms.
Located close to both the old western towns of the MotherLode and Lake Tahoe.
WINTER is special at the HideOut. Snowmobilers will find everything they can ride/climb and some hills they can't. The Hot Tub is not available during winter- sorry, just too cold.

Perfect Wedding!

We can't believe how amazing it was to have our wedding at the Hideout. It's so beautiful, Tom and BJ are so friendly and helpful, and there's just tons of space. We were able to to spend much more time with our guests because many of them stayed on site at the lodge or camping. Tom, BJ, and all their family and friends had to work SO hard (literally day and night and gobs of money) to get the road opened for us, and that was in July! And in the end, with mandatory 4wd to get in, most of the men at the wedding thought it was the best part! A lot of us even enjoyed the beautiful walk. One piece of advice... if you're looking for a limo entrance, high heels all around, and formal entertaining, this is not the place for you. However, if you love natural beauty, have a bit of a sense of adventure, and privacy, GET MARRIED AT THE HIDEOUT! You won't regret it.

My husband and I got married here August 2010, and (I might be slightly biased, but) it was truly the best wedding location I could have imagined. A beautiful house on a private lake in a granite clearing in the middle of sierra-nevada national forest without anything near by for miles....all of our guests were blown away. We had our immediate family stay in the house, and some people camped and some stayed in other vrbo houses in kirkwood. Tom and BJ were always there to help with anything we needed - they are very very friendly, and can arrange any catering or dancing or anything. Some vrbo places have pictures that are very strategic, but for the hideout these pictures don't do the place justice (in my opinion). We swam in the lake (slightly shallow, but still fun), enjoyed the 30 person hot tub (amazing!), went on hikes to other mountain lakes near by, and had the ceremony at the top of a granite peak - so beautiful.

Absolutely Beautiful

The location is amazing, totally worth the 2 mile sno-mobile ride in the winter. Tom and BJ are the nicest most accommodating folks I've met in a long long time. It was great to talk with them and learn the history of theHideOut. The saloon is great with the pool table and air hockey table, even our large group had plenty of space to spread out in. You must go to this place, trust me it will be well worth it.

Last summer we held our daughter's wedding @ the Hideout.It was & is a spectacular site for any special event.We had 200 guests that attended their very special weekend.. The venue was casual yet elegant. The outdoor scenery was breathtaking. The house is a spectacular labor of love. The saloon was sooo much fun. The wedding ceremony site was perfect. BJ & Tom Hoover along with their very capable staff went out of their way to make our daughter & fiancee wedding dream a reality. You couldn't ask for nicer yet more professional people to work with on a special event. Take a beautiful drive up to the mountains & check out The Hideout & meet the Hoover's you'll know you have found you special venue

Fantastic Christmas

Spent Christmas week at the Hide Out with our 2 daughters and 6 grand kids and it was the greatest time we have ever had. As B.J. said, "It's not a Vacation, it's an Adventure", and that was so true. Tom and B.J. are more like family than Host, they bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. Tom took us out on the snow cat to get a Christmas tree, the hardest decision was selecting one out of about 10,000 trees! The kids sledded, hiked, and basically had a great time. This is one Vacation, I mean Adventure, we will never forget. If you are looking for a secluded, quiet, and magnicifacant place to stay, then look no further, the Hide Out is the perfect place. I am already planning a return trip for a summer time "Adventure". Thanks Tom & B.J.

This place is a true winter magic. We spent 7 nights without going anywhere and enjoyed every moment of it. The Lodge is a superb, large and comfortable house that they had build with their own hands, and if you feel like listening (you probably will), Tom has a story to tell. Secluded in the scenic Sierras, the surrounding wilderness is one of a kind places to snowshoe or just walk; hills around the house is the tubing heaven for kids. Ours had a blast. Tom and BJ are great hosts, easy going and always ready to help you with anything. This was really special, we're looking forward to come back some day. Thanks!

We were able to enjoy this beautiful home with friends that invited us up to join them. We would have never known about this place with out them. Now because of them we are planning to have our wedding here. If you love nature then there is no better place to really enjoy it then here at the hideout.
