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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ken Pratt

Host profile image
The property has been in the family for 8 generations and 9th is working on learning more every year. Started as a sawmill and cattle ranch for timber and meat for putting in the railroad in southwest Idaho. Later was used for working ranch with hay and cattle grazing. Over the last 150 years the type of trees has gone away from its natural habitat. Our mission is to improve the land for wildlife while restoring the type of trees and vegetation that once made it great in 1845. We are working hard on the 160 acres with active silviculture practices, fire prevention, erosion control, and water quality. We built the Hidden Pond in 1999 and the birds have come to call it home. If you love birds like we do it is great to watch. From a small finch to the bald eagle they all call the pond home.

Why they chose this property

I was lucky to be interested in forestry and have the time and energy to take on the property from my Aunt and Uncle. Growing up on the property over the last 59 years one gets to know every rock, tree, stream, pond and you begin to name the forest. If you walk slow and sit down to listen the forest will talk to you. It is one of the most enjoyable ways to re-charge your batteries from working any type of job.

What makes this property unique

Not being around any other people where one can truly get away from the hustle of life makes this hide out on pratt mountain so relaxing. Putting a nice home up on top of the mountain made even more fun. Nice to get a hot shower, have electricity, running water, and great time to sit down and dine with family. The next morning get up go for a hike up into the US Forest Service to the north for miles and see new areas and have a place to come back. On the walk, wildlife sometimes appears. We have every type of Northwest animals except a grizzly bear and that is fine with me.
