Secluded, quiet, surrounded by natural beauty, Hidden Canyon Retreat is a special oasis of serenity and relaxation within a short drive of Great Basin National Park. The dirt road from the highway to the property is well maintained and easy to find. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The room had a small fridge, a microwave, and a toaster/convection oven, it also included plates, utensils, cups, mugs, etc. The store on the property was well stocked with plenty of quality supplies/provisions- and notably the prices were very reasonable. The Hot Tub was amazing, and the star gazing was top notch.

This is an incredible property near Great Basin NP. You can explore the property yourself with mule deer and wild turkeys in the lawn. We also drove to the top of the cliff at night and enjoyed the Milky Way in the beautiful dark sky. Our room was a deluxe queen and was large and comfortable. Everyone we met were as nice as can be. A small grocery is stocked so you didn’t have to leave if you didn’t want to.

It’s a canyon so…. The WiFi could be better. If you want to be unplugged this is your place!

In the middle of nowhere. But with everything you need. Kitchen was the best appointed on our trio, Though we didn’t use much. Good out door spaces.

The number of signs, emails, peppers you had to sign, and staff telling you all forbidding some behavior, made it less retreat like. I can I imagine, they have had problems with each but one rotten egg shouldn’t spoil it for all. The block with rooms are bog standard and doesn’t fit into the landscape. It’s not good value for money but probably still one of the most modern and clean places around this area.

We love this Retreat! This is our 3rd time here. The rooms are huge and fully stocked! We are always comfortable. The property grounds are insanely beautiful and we enjoy walking around and BBQing on-site. You can get super close to the deer that rome the property! Pool is lovely hot tub is great! The star gazing is out of this world! We love how quiet and peaceful it is. The office manager is very helpful and nice and personable too! <3 Thank you for everything and cheers till next time!

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a hidden gem for saying close to Great Basin National Park. The property is tucked into an oasis down a dirt road and is very quiet. The grounds are lovely and the hot tub is excellent; having a store on-site got us prepared for a simple dinner and breakfast. As advertised, we were able to see many stars after dark. We will be back!

The mattresses made noise when we moved on them, like there’s a barrier layer under multiple layers of padding.

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.

There was nothing we disliked, it was perfect!
