A Private Residence Club for The Cowboy at Heart

Preserving a Treasure of the American West

Shell Valley is a tiny hamlet nestled in the foothills of the spectacular Bighorn Mountains in picturesque Shell Wyoming, population 50. Here, nature remains unspoiled and the traditions of the Old West continue uninterrupted. Tradition, honor and the Cowboy Code are fundamental to the foundation of life here in the West. Now, this legacy that has lived on at the Flitner Ranch for over one hundred years can become part of your family's history, thanks to the Hideout Private Residence Club.

This private, experiential club combines the best of Equestrian Private Residence communities and destination clubs. But what you may ask are these elusive definitions? Simply put, a Private Residence Club membership is a form of fractional ownership, frequently described as "luxury home ownership without the hassles". A destination club in contrast is a membership to a collection of destinations that provide the owner with luxury accommodations at each destination.

The Hideout Private Residence Club is a non-equity membership offering an equestrian based, experiential adventure through the use of their 300,000 acre Guest Ranch. Members enjoy luxurious accommodations with unparalleled recreation opportunities while making a positive contribution to the environment through membership in their conservation and preservation trust, The Shell Valley Preservation Initiative.

As fourth generation ranchers, the Flitner family is passionate that the magnificence of The Shell Valley remains intact forever. After watching other areas of the West fall victim to indiscriminate commercial development, David and Paula Flitner have made a commitment to preserve The Shell Valley as a living treasure of the American West and are actively seeking members who want to share in this vision.

The Hideout Private Residence club is offering by invitation only, a total of 88 memberships to be shared among 11 luxury homes offering dramatic views of the Bighorn Mountains and Shell Valley. Legacy Members receive a total of 5 weeks year round use and additional use according to availability. Membership features include concierge services, use of recreation & dining amenities from the Hideout Guest Ranch, Snowshoe Lodge and the Upper Hideout, thousands of miles of trails to explore with your equine friends, an international clientele, and all of the benefits with none of the hassles of second home ownership.

"The Hideout is a place to share with our children and our children's children; a place they will come to know as their own private sanctuary. A chance to be land stewards so that future generations may marvel at the same spectacular, unspoiled landscapes. Our members embrace this valley as their own national park - as a treasure that, if protected, can herald its history and heritage through the test of time."
