The perfect mountain recharge

Hideout Mountain Lodge is pure magic. We spent our mornings sipping coffee overlooking Lake Henshaw and evenings under a blanket of stars. The quiet, the rustic charm, and the hospitality are second to none. We will definitely be back every season.

Peaceful, inspiring, and completely private

I booked a few days to read, write, and disconnect from city noise. The stay was warm, beautifully maintained, and had such wonderful natural light. The hiking trails directly accessible from the property made for great daytime wandering.

Loved the cozy fireplace and endless sunset views

Our dog loved exploring the pine and cedar trails, and we loved the cozy fire at night. Crisp mountain air, gorgeous sunset views, and super easy check-in. One of Southern California’s best-kept mountain secrets.
