The owners, Marijn and Peter, are originally from Belgium but have called The Hideout and Shell, Wyoming home for many years. Both owners are very hands on and involved in daily ranch activities. They would not ask staff to do work they themselves are not willing to do. Some of our staff have been with us since over 20 years and other staff used to come as guests to The Hideout.
While we are upscale, we are not a spa or resort and have no intentions to become one. We typically have about 25 guests weekly. All guests arrive on Sunday and leave Saturday morning. The Hideout takes pride in a growing number of repeat guests and international guests from around the world.
Working at The Hideout is fun, fast paced, and professional. The Hideout has high quality standards and expects excellent work ethics from every team member.
