The Hideout at Kirkwood is a private wedding and events retreat on 40 acres along Highway 88 near Kirkwood, California. Set among the Sierra’s national forest, the property combines a private lake, a handcrafted lodge, and rustic gathering spaces for an exclusive, five-day stay. The owners built the lodge using timber cut and milled on the land, creating a distinctive setting where luxury meets the wild.

The property is reserved for one booking at a time, giving couples and their guests use of its venues without sharing the grounds with another event. Facilities include a lodge with five bedroom suites and two kitchens, a saloon with additional bedrooms, a lakeside hot tub, ceremony locations, and a reception ground with restrooms, a catering kitchen, a bar, and a covered dance hall. The retreat can host weddings of up to 220 guests. Additional amenities include a camping meadow, a separate ridge-top house available to book, and a mobile coffee cabin with two hours of service included.
