Absolutely! Hideaway Lodge Hunting and Fishing Limited welcomes non-hunting guests and observers. While our primary focus is on providing exceptional hunting experiences, we understand that not everyone in your group may be interested in participating in the hunt. Non-hunting guests and observers are more than welcome to accompany hunters and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and amenities offered at our lodge. Whether they prefer to relax by the cozy fireplace, explore the picturesque landscapes, or simply soak in the tranquility of the wilderness, there's something for everyone to enjoy at Hideaway Lodge.

Our hunting experiences are tailored to meet the preferences and needs of our guests. At our remote spike camp, hunts are exclusively offered as 1x1, providing a personalized and focused experience with one guide per hunter. However, at our main lodge, the hunting arrangements can vary depending on the size of the group. For smaller groups, hunts can also be arranged as 1x1 for a more intimate experience. Alternatively, for larger groups, hunts may be organized as 2x1, where two hunters are accompanied by one guide, until the first moose is taken. We will then alter guides to accommodate 1x1. We strive to accommodate the preferences of our guests and ensure that every hunting expedition with us is enjoyable, safe, and tailored to individual requirements."
