Review
Guests at Hidden Valley Inn come to enjoy more than 90 miles of lovingly and meticulously maintained hiking trails that traverse the inn’s 7,200 acres of private land within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. The jungle, springs, creeks and forests here are gorgeous, the trails are welcoming and it’s entirely possible to walk all day long and not see another soul.
Not private enough? Rent a waterfall for the day and the inn will provide a gourmet picnic complete with linens, china and Champagne. Bring your binoculars to see the area’s impressive (and rare) king vultures, just one of the hundreds of species of birds found here.
Though all of the 12 suites are spacious and comfortably appointed with fireplaces and mahogany furniture, the recently renovated estate suites are particularly suited for honeymooners (they come with an outdoor waterfall shower) or families, who will appreciate the screened in sitting porch for extra space. The estate suites can also adjoin.
A small pool, spa and recently refurbished bar provide plenty of post-hiking relaxation.
Who Should Stay
Families looking for outdoor adventures together; bird watchers; couples.
