Boasting the world’s most diverse overnight accommodations—cabins, treehouses, tiny houses, vintage RVs, glamping tents, and geo domes—Hideout Mountain attracts everyone from budget travelers to luxury seekers booking retreats, weddings, and corporate escapes.

Programming is designed to scale: from intimate yoga weekends to 300-guest music festivals, from farm-to-table dining to adult summer camps with cooking and cocktails. Seasonal highlights like a winter ice rink, holiday village, and wellness retreats keep guests returning year after year, while curated wine tastings, wellness classes, and adventure activities elevate the experience.

This is a rare, time-sensitive investment: a turnkey lodge with decades of history, a loyal repeat guest base, and ample room for expansion. In a market hungry for unique, experience-driven travel, Hideout Mountain offers investors the chance to own a one-of-a-kind destination that blends rustic charm, modern comfort, and immersive adventure—delivering both solid returns and lasting brand value.
