Why choose The Hideout for women’s ranch vacations in Wyoming?
When women travel together, the goal is usually celebration, connection – or both. With each other. With nature. And often, with parts of ourselves that get lost in busy everyday life.
This is not a loud, nose-to-tail dude ranch experience, nor a curated ‘Cowgirl Week’. With a maximum of just 25 guests per week, the atmosphere is intimate and refreshingly personal – ideal for all sorts of women’s ranch vacations; mother-daughter trips, milestone birthdays, barn buddy escapes, or solo female travel in Wyoming.
A women’s ranch vacation in Wyoming combines horseback riding, Western landscapes and luxury guest ranch accommodation in a supportive, female-focused environment – it’s the perfect place to celebrate and connect!
8 reasons you’ll love a girls’ ranch getaway at The Hideout
1. A Wyoming ranch vacation for women, by women
As mentioned, The Hideout doesn’t run specific cowgirl weeks, however it’s a women-led, female-friendly ranch every single week of the season.
Solo female travelers, multi-generational families, barn groups and best friends are warmly welcomed into a respectful, confidence-building environment where everyone rides at their own level – large egos and pressure to be ‘the best’ are thankfully left at the barn door!
2. Confidence-building natural horsemanship opportunities
One of the defining features of a women’s ranch vacation at The Hideout is their Authentic Horsemanship approach.
Rather than simply following a trail, you’ll develop communication, feel and trust with your horse. Beginner riders on a ranch vacation feel safe and supported. Advanced riders are challenged and inspired.
And co-owner Marijn De Cabooter, today a respected Level 4 Parelli horsewoman, who regularly rides alongside her guests, was also once a self-confessed “city girl, actually afraid of horses”.
Her story from city slicker to bona fide cowgirl resonates deeply with women who arrive at this luxury guest ranch in Wyoming unsure, but wanting to leave empowered.

3. Plenty of non-riding activities available
There could be some beginner riders or non-riders in your group who are looking to recharge, or try new outdoor activities off horseback.
The Hideout’s ranch vacations for women have plenty on offer for those looking to turn their hoof to some exciting non-riding activities!
- Kick back and catch up by the inviting state-of-the-art pool and hot tub, and feel yourself unwind under the mountain views (open seasonally)
- Have a go at a half-day of archery and/or trapshooting
- Head to the waters of Wyoming and cast a fly – maybe catch a trout, too (please contact the ranch office ahead of of your stay if you’re keen to fish)
- Take a trip into nearby Shell or head to Cody, the rodeo capital of the world, to see the famous Cody Nite Rodeo (not included in ranch package)
- Head off on your own adventure, either hiking or biking Wyoming’s wilderness
