Hidden Lake is truly a hidden gem, offering a park-like setting that feels both peaceful and serene from the moment you arrive. The property looks out across a beautiful lake with a spectacular island in the center, and it’s clear the owners are meticulously curating and pruning the grounds to maintain its natural charm. During my stay, I spent hours watching a herd of deer quietly feeding across the lake—an unforgettable sight that added to the retreat-like atmosphere. The experience was made even warmer by the sweet animals roaming the property, especially Lucious, the friendly dog, along with a charming cat who both made me feel right at home. The owners went out of their way to ensure I had a wonderful stay, and their kindness and attention to detail shine through in every aspect of this property. Hidden Lake truly offers the perfect combination of comfort, natural beauty, and hospitality.

I am so glad you had wonderful experiences stay at hideaway Lake property we are so fortunately able to share this serene paradise with all my guest, thank you so much for your generous review hope see you again in the future..
Wonderful cabin in a very quiet area. Property was just right for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids under 5). Fishing, nearby hiking, and a wonderful furry companion, Monster, kept the kids busy and happy the entire time!

Thank you so much for choosing hideaway lake and give me such good review glad you have enjoyed the stay,. hope to see you back in the future.
This could be a nice venue if they deal with some significant problems. There were a lot of cockroaches and other bugs. It was especially unpleasant to find a cockroach on my toothbrush! This place needs serious fumigation. The beds weren’t beds—they were cots with no box springs and thin cot mattresses. Spend a few bucks for real beds. The shower temperature was uncontrollable. I would start by turning it to all hot and once there, set it for a good temperature, In less than a minute it would go completely cold. Then after setting back to all hot, it took a minute to get hot. Then the process repeated. Very uncomfortable. The water was brownish for the first few days before eventually clearing up. I wasn’t convinced it was ever potable. If they fix these problems, it could be a cute getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is such a cute little place and pleasantly quiet. It was exaclty what we were looking for.
