I love it here. It is likely the most beautiful retirement community in the State if not the whole NW. The Staff is great and rates are quite reasonable. We definitely found the right place for us!

My husband and Irecently moved to the Holiday Hidden Lakes and we are beyond pleased. Such a vibrant, welcoming community! From the delicious dining options to the gorgeous, lush outdoor spaces around the lake, everything is well taken care of. But the real heartbeat of this place is the staff. they are beyond caring and always go the extra mile. With so many diverse activities offered, there’s never a dull moment. Truly a top-tier place!

I have been living at Hidden Lakes for four month's and I really like it here. I feel very safe here. Lots of places to walk and the lake here is absolutely beautiful. I love not having to cook for myself anymore. We are served three meals a day with four different options at lunch and dinner. People and staff are very friendly and welcomed me with opened arms when I moved here. It is a very nice place and I hope to be here for a very long time.

We have lived at Holiday Hidden Lakes by Atria for almost a year now, and couldn’t be happier. Our home home in a community nearby sold very quickly, and we did not know where we were going to move, but we luckily happened upon this Independent Living Community with wonderful people, good food and beautiful atmosphere and grounds. The meals provide a main selection, plus three other options to accommodate almost everyone’s preferences. There are many activities for socialization and enrichment, as well as frequent live entertainment performances. Monthly meetings allow residents to express opinions regarding activities, entertainment and meals. We are extremely pleased we live here, and do not want to go anywhere else.
