Red Power Round Up
We were very impressed with our stay at the shouse during Red Power Round Up. Every detail was thought of and taken care of. Our favorite part was being able to spend time helping to feed the baby calves. The property was very clean and nice with so many included amenities. We would highly recommend this property to our family and friends.

Beautiful place
We had such a nice time staying here! The accommodations were great, everything was so clean, and we had everything we needed for an amazing girls weekend! The only criticism I would give was on our second night, a man let himself into the Vrbo which we thought was a little odd. Such a comfortable place to spend the weekend, would definitely recommend to others/come again!

Everything was awesome
We had an amazing time relaxing, hanging out in the hot tub, petting the animals and taking walks around the property. The shouse was very clean and awesome but we didn’t want to turn on the fan in the master bedroom due to so much dust.

Spur of the moment getaway
My husband and I wanted a quick weekend getaway. The Highland Hideout was exactly what we needed. Hot tub with amazing country views. “Funny farm” animals that were beyond cute to watch. Brand new amenities that enabled us to truly relax like we were at home. The Hideout is close to town so you can run in quick if you forgot something and is a short 20-40 minute drive away from all of the popular tourist sites near Spencer/Okoboji. Thanks Billie Jo & Thad, we can’t wait to come back!

The shouse was beautiful, really wonderful, so modern and clean, but also so comfortable. The king size beds were great. Had everything we needed. The grounds were so beautiful and the animals were really special. Our host were so gracious and friendly, and very flexible with our dogs. We loved it here and will return!

Amazing and peaceful getaway
The SHOUSE was beautiful and just what me and my family needed to celebrate my birthday and completion of cancer treatments. The hosts were friendly and easily accessible when needed. The highland cows were beautiful and great to watch while relaxing in the clean, spacious and relaxing hot tub. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Perfect Girls' Weekend Spot
The Highland Hideout was the perfect spot for our girls' weekend! The Shouse was so clean and inviting. The kitchen was well-stocked for all the cooking we wanted to do, and the beds were very comfortable. The owners were so friendly and communicative; we knew exactly what to expect before we arrived and Billie Jo went out of her way to make us feel at home. We enjoyed playing games, using the hot tub, walking on the trails by the river, and feeding the calf and miniature donkey. We loved our quiet weekend in the country and would love to stay again!

Absolutely amazing!!!
Very welcoming all around!! Quiet and relaxing, enjoyed sitting out in the evenings and enjoying the view and walks to the river. Showed the kids the animals and let them help them out! Absolutely on top of everything, never had to ask for a thing, they thought of it and took care of things before there was even a need to ask! Will definitely be back!!!
