Established in 1961, the development was designed as a gated retreat offering both permanent residences and vacation homes, surrounded by natural beauty. It spans 1,730 acres of wooded terrain, rolling hills, and lakes, providing a secluded environment for its residents.

Amenities: The community operates as a private, member-owned, club and homeowners’ association. Property ownership within the community includes membership in the club. Members share access to a wide range of core amenities maintained by the association which include five lakes, including the Lake of the Four Seasons, Deerfoot, Arrowhead, Tomahawk, and Eagle Claw; 9-hole golf course with Clubhouse Bar and Grill; Lodge Restaurant and Bar with dining and event spaces; Outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts; And an Amphitheater and parks.

Governance: Hide-A-Way Hills Club, Inc. is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the membership. The board oversees community operations, security, maintenance, and long-term planning. Membership requires that members pay assessments and fees to support operational and capital expenses, plus reserve funding.

Community: Hide-A-Way Hills maintains a reputation as a close-knit, nature-oriented community. Residents value privacy, outdoor living, and a sense of retreat from urban life. The combination of wooded lots, lakefront properties, and well-maintained facilities contributes to its appeal as both a weekend getaway and a year-round residence.
