Great Get Away

Thanks Ken, we had a wonderful stay at your family retreat. Off the grid but good cell service...just in case. You have a beautiful place and appreciate you loaning it to us for a few days.

Wedding weekend at Longhorn Ranch

Was happy to find this home for a wedding at longhorn ranch that brought us to the area. Host was communicating all details, which are a lot when you are staying in such a remote location.

Family camping trip

We had tons of fun. Our boys loved having the option of board games and playing pool inside or campfire, fishing and exploring outdoors. It was a nice balance for all of us.

Relaxing hideaway

This was one of our favorite family trips! Completely isolated from anyone else on 200 acres of private wilderness to explore. The property manager got back to us right away when we contacted him with questions. We loved exploring the trails around the property on mountain bike. We look forward to visiting again!

"Camping" at it's best!

Everyone had a great time! We all had our own space and then great big kitchen to share with meal prep. The cabin has amazing views of the mountains from its wrap around porch but my favorite part of every day was looking up at the stars while enjoying the snap and crackle from the fire pit.

Slice of solitude

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time relaxing and connecting at the Hideout on Pratt mountain. We enjoyed many beautiful hikes around the property and the kids really had a great time casting for fish at the pond! The house was clean and well stocked/organized with lots of games, puzzles and amenities too! Owners were easy to connect with via text and very responsive to any questions.

August Recharge at the Hideout

Great pre-trip communication with owner (Ken) and detailed directions to the home location resulted in quick and easy check-in. Home location is definitely off the grid, so if you enjoy solitude, this is the place for you. Make sure you pay close attention to the directions because it's not super easy to find, but it's well worth it once you arrive. The house was great and is a fantastic launching pad to explore the area and come back to after adventuring. Appliances worked well, beds were comfortable, and the upstairs has plenty of stuff to keep the kids occupied when not outside (pool, darts, etc.). The deck was also awesome. It's big, wraps around 3/4 of the house, and provided some very nice views. The pond was awesome and we spent a bunch of time there. Fishing wasn't great during our trip, but we did catch several 9-10 inch rainbows. The resident muskrat and other wildlife around the pond were fun to watch too. If you like hummingbirds, this place is where you need to be. The feeders on the deck were constantly being visited by 15-20 hummingbirds. It was really cool watching them from the deck only 3-4 feet away.Our trip was great and I would definitely recommend The Hideout to others. I will definitely come back in the future. The owners were very helpful (and understanding when one of the kids accidentally broke something). The Hideout is a unique place to relax and recharge in a serene, isolated environment while still enjoying all the comforts of home.

Get Away

Beautiful quiet relaxing property. More than we expected for an "Off Grid" home. Had all the luxeries of a modern house.No reason to leave for 3 days. Owners are very accomadating and strive hard to give you an incredible experience. Enjoyed the solitude. Thank you Ken and William.

Just what we hoped and needed

I’ll be brief, but only because it’d be impossible to detail the care and authenticity we received from Ken and William prior to, during, and after our stay, without a very lengthy post. Simply put, their hideout makes you feel like part of their family, making it easy to forget the grind of daily life. Their commitment to making their home feel like their guests’ is evident at every turn, from Ken’s immediate communication, detailed directions and instructions, on-site preparation, special touches, and his and William’s timely availability. They nailed it at every turn, every climb, every gate, every hummingbird, every huckleberry, every fire, and every starry night.

Best birthday,s/Father's Day weekend ever!

If you're looking for peace and serenity this is the place to be! The Pratt family went above and beyond for my disabled wife and made her birthday wish come true of living the mountain life! We are already making plans for next year! The 4x4ing up and down the mountains is awesome! Nothing but green every where, fishing on the pond with my family while listening to the wind blow through the trees and seeing wildlife was priceless! We made beautiful memories here and can't wait to make more! Thank you so much!

Magic Hideout

We felt like guests in the Pratt Family Private Home vs “renters” in an antiseptic investment property. Our almost 13th ear old girls thought they’d be bored “out in the middle of nowhere”. Far from it! They hit the motherload of huckleberry picking in the Forrest. Even though they didn’t catch any, fishing was a fun activity. They also especially enjoyed s’mores and sleeping in! Wonderful escape from the hectic world. We lived out time here at the Mountain Hide Out!!!!

Wonderful

What a wonderful place! The property is beautiful and completely secluded. House was clean and had everything you could want. The wrap around porch is a great place to sit and take in the scenery, and the owners were very helpful and responsive. We went with the idea we would go into Cascade/McCall to get groceries, and it ended up a little further than we thought. Expect about 40 min of driving after you leave the highway at Smith's Ferry. I would suggest bringing everything you want with you for your stay so you can spend your time enjoying the property and exploring rather than driving up and down the mountain! I would love to come back and stay again!

Peaceful serenity

I booked this property looking for a get away for my family, a place to get out of town and away from it all a quiet place to just relax and reset. The Hideout on Pratt Mountain was that place!! I far surpassed all of my expectations!!! Beautiful home with all of the accommodations, very friendly owner easy to communicate with before during and even after our stay. Beautiful location, quiet, peaceful, you could hear the birds see the wildlife from birds and squirrels to foxes and moose, we even got the pleasure of hearing wolves howling in the distance. I was able to get my children off of electronics and out into nature now they are asking when we can go on our next adventure. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hide Out on Pratt Mountain to anyone looking to get away!

Paradise on Pratt Mountain

Off the grid is right... solar and hydro power with a large back up generator. Everything you would ever need for a fantastic Family vacation. Stocked full of games, darts, pool, and even chess. The pond is a short hike down the hill and a breathtaking spot to relax. Didn't catch a fish, but that isn't really the point for me... that's just a bonus. The ONLY thing I wish I would have brought, would have been a pillow I am comfortable with. We all have our sleeping habits that we get used to, and I prefer a harder pillow. Overall, we can't wait to go back next year! Thank you Ken and William for all of your hospitality, and to the entire Pratt Family for allowing us to take a glimpse into your Family history.

Remote Relaxation

From beginning to end we could not have had a better time. Remote beauty and quietness, that was just what we wanted and got tenfold. The home has so much room and every comfort you need or want. Our exploring the property was a blast. Wilderness galore, Hummingbirds, deer, Widgeon, Mallards, Golden Eyes and Bufflehead ducks. True Idaho beauty. Caught and ate some incredible Rainbow trout from their private pond. Also the Morel Mushrooms were out and we picked some for dinner and breakfast. Delicious! We have stayed at a lot of Mountain and Lake Homes over the years and the Hide Out on Pratt Mountain rates as one of the best ever. Great Hosts, Great accomodations, Fabulous Location. The one down side......we had to leave. That was a bummer. We look forward to our next stay there. Thanks for everything Pratt Family!!!! Tony, Teresa, Chris and Suzan.

If you looking to lose yourself in total privacy then this place is perfect!

Hosts were very gracious and easy accessible by phone and text. Very detailed instructions on the use of all amenities. The decor is a little outdated but I believe the home is still used by Grandma & family so we can appreciate this. Make sure you plan a menu and bring groceries. Small market 30 minutes away on mountain roads. Boise is nearest full service grocery store. Also bring plenty of ice. Fridge freezer is Propane and slow to freeze. They do have a large freezer in the basement. Bedrooms were small but beds were very comfortable and cozy! Lots of games and a really nice game room with pool table and darts. If planning on fishing they have what you need except bait. Nice size fish too! The outdoors is so so relaxing and peaceful. Only the sounds of nature. We highly recommend this getaway for sure! Thank you Ken!!

Perfect Get Away in the Mountains

This is the perfect place to get away from it all! Nestled in the mountains but only a minimal drive from Boise, ID, it's a great place to enjoy nature's best from a spacious home! So many great things to do! Our family and friends enjoyed the wonderful wrap around deck as well as hiking in the woods. We grilled dinner while watching the sun set and took breakfast on the deck to warm us up in the morning sun. While it is off the grid, it is by no means roughing it. There was a constant source of power and plenty of hot water. Amenities included a dishwasher, TV to watch Dish TV, games, a bizillion books (old and new), games, and movies but the best was the deck! And building a puzzle. We hung out at the pond, using the poles that were available and while we didn't catch any fish, we caught a ton of memories! This place is so worth your time! The owner is gracious and easy to contact and William is a wonderful caretaker with a wealth of knowledge! We enjoyed his company for several meals and hanging out by the pond! I've rented many places before but this one is a place to come back too!
