This place is sooooo wonderful! It's literally hidden in a beautiful canyon with wildlife, and it is very peaceful. The rooms are spacious and bed was comfy. They even provided us with a pack and play, with a mattress, mattress cover, sheets and blanket for our toddler! The kitchenette is stocked with all the things you need to cook meals, even kids bowls/plates/utensils/cups, which was a big plus for us. The market is stocked really well and their local meat products are delicious! Really enjoyed our stay.

It is very remote and peaceful. Beautiful and quiet.

Clean, accommodating, friendly… I would give it 10/10 except for the following issue: The primary purpose for my visit was stargazing (very common amongst Great Basin tourists), but, because an Ivy League College was visiting that same weekend, the lights in the main visitor building/dining/conference area were on all night, effectively ruining all dark-sky viewing.

Plan ahead for food. Not close to bigger town.

Friendly staff. Amazing dark sky night views

Gorgeous canyon location neat Great Basin National Park. Spacious accommodations. We were independent for meals and cooking facilities were excellent. Dark skies made sky viewing fantastic.

The wifi could have been a bit better, but it is understandable, considering the remote location. If you are staying here, remember you will not have fast internet. So come expecting that.

The location was remote, peaceful, and relaxing. The rooms and beds were comfortable, very clean, and had all the amenities. The kitchenette was well supplied, and there was a coffee maker with several quality coffee options, a toaster, a small oven, a hot plate, a microwave, and a mini-refrigerator. Also, had pots, pans, and dinnerware to prepare your own food. Since this is a remote stay, you could bring your own food and cook meals. The owner was really nice in communicating and accommodating. They have a small grocery/market with some food supplies. For each day, you are given breakfast tokens, which can be exchanged for a breakfast sack or other food from the market for the value of the token. The breakfast sacks are supplied with an assortment of foods like boiled eggs/cheese/yogurt/fruit/nuts/muffins etc. It was really helpful to have when we went hiking at the Great Basin National Park (30-40 min drive from the lodging). We were late on the day we arrived (the office is open from 3-9 PM), and the owner was really kind with accommodating our check-in via phone, and delivered the breakfast sacks for the following morning before we even got there. The gravel road leading to the lodging is quite good, although not paved. The owner provided clear directions to reach the location as well as other tips as to places to get Gas/food etc. We stayed here to view the annular solar eclipse (10-14-23). We had a great view of the eclipse from the patio area in front of our rooms. This location is also part of a ranch, so there were lots of apple trees, and we saw a deer family. There's also a stream passing by, adding to the relaxing environment. Overall, it's such a great place to relax and stay, especially if you are visiting Great Basin National Park.

While we enjoyed our stay very much the rooms will need redecoration in the near future. They are getting a little dated. Lighting is poor. The hot tub hygiene needs some attention. There was a distinct scum line around the waterline. Also, one set of jets seemed to be inoperative when we used it. It is worth noting that the Retreat is at the end of a 7-mile good quality dirt road. While the road is in great condition, your car is going to get a major dust bath. Make sure all doors and windows are well sealed.

A quiet and beautiful oasis. In order to better appreciate the offerings here you must understand that: 1: Accommodation options in Baker are extremely limited and rudimentary. 2: Restaurant options are very limited. The Hidden Canyon Retreat makes up for these inadequacies very nicely. First, the rooms are large quiet, clean and comfortable with full bathrooms. They are set in a green "Hidden Canyon" making it a good "retreat" from the desert floor. Deer and Wild Turkeys wander about the grounds that feature an apple orchard. Fruit was in season during our stay adding a nice touch. The place is geared to preparing your own food. The rooms have kitchenettes with an induction stovetop, a convection oven and a microwave to prepare your own meals. More importantly, the office has a well-stocked shop with a variety of food options. The office store IS BETTER STOCKED THAN the general store in Baker. There is also a hot tub and pool (closed for the season during our stay).

As remote as it is, they do an excellent job of the details. The bath and kitchen are well equipped for multiple days. Our room was spacious and quite comfortable. Bed and pillows were nice, and the windows are not sealed shut, so you can enjoy the desert air.

There is nothing I would change about my stay.

Hidden Canyon is an absolute gem. Rooms, location, hot tub, the deep quiet are fabulous. Very unique stay.

The location is excellent for a relaxing getaway. Retreat is the appropriate word.

Wow. What a nice place to spend some quiet time. This is much more than just someplace to spend the night. Hands down, the best place to stay close to Great Basin National Park. We will definitely come back here. Loved watching the deer hang out outside our room

a bit off the main road., almost 7 miles of dirt road and very winding last quarter mile.

excellent facility just a bit inconvenient to get to, but if you like quiet and getting away, its a great place. Yep, "hidden" is a great description!

This little gem was an exceptional surprise. The abundance of wildlife was such a treat. The hot tub and views were incredible.

There was nothing we disliked, it was perfect!

Driving down a six mile gravel desert road you suddenly descend into a canyon with beautiful Hidden Canyon Retreat at the end with it’s lush green surroundings deep in a secluded canyon with deer and wild turkeys welcoming you! We stayed in a modern king bed hotel room that was like a very nice small studio apartment with everything we needed to make our own meals and enjoy the retreat. This is the BEST accommodation anywhere near Great Basin National Park. There are barbecue grills, a small store at the office with local meat to grill plus a hot tub which is great after a day of hiking. We really liked getting breakfast tokens to spend on food at the store…fruit, cereal, frozen egg sandwiches, yogurt, etc. A beautiful starry dark night sky was a perfect ending to our days there.

It’s a lovely property! A babbling creek and grassy apple orchards and hiking trails. We had a picnic in the courtyard (our room’s kitchen was incredibly well stocked) and enjoyed the pool and hot tub! Our room was spacious and clean, and the bed was sumptuous!

Loved it all...

Our 3 night stay was lovely. We were surprised how well equipped our room was. The kitchen even had a hot plate. The outside pool was refreshing-well stocked with pool toys. The staff was outstanding. Cristina took care of us like family. The grounds were lush with deer wandering all over. Would definitely go back again.

The cost was a bit hight for the value, but overall good.

I liked the remoteness of it. I was able to go out at 3am and see the stars. The stars were some of the brightest I have seen.
