About Holiday Hidden Lakes
Holiday Hidden Lakes is an independent living community nestled on 15 wooded acres surrounding a private lake in South Salem, Oregon. Residents enjoy a full calendar of social activities, chef-prepared meals, and scenic walking paths through beautifully maintained grounds. Part of the Holiday by Atria family, this community is designed for active seniors who want connection, comfort, and the freedom to shape their own days.
Our Care Approach
Holiday Hidden Lakes is an independent living community, meaning it is designed for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but want the ease of meals, housekeeping, and social life built in. Residents who need personal care services can arrange support through third-party caregivers of their choosing, offering flexibility without locking into a bundled care plan.
Family Experience
Families visiting Holiday Hidden Lakes tend to be struck by the natural beauty of the grounds and the genuine warmth of the staff. The community has a relaxed, neighborhood feel, and residents often mention making close friendships here — which can be deeply reassuring for families navigating this transition.

My husband, our cat and I moved to Hidden Lakes 20 months ago. We fell in love with the beautiful lake, flowers and the geese. We quickly learned that we had wonderful helpful staff here. Our general manager Heather is very fair and approachable, along with the rest of the staff, Cheyenne, Ruth, Eric and Michelle. We love our new chef also, his name is Jordan. The food here is great! We have made lots of good friends here. We enjoy games and meals together. You will love it here too! Come and join us!

Trust I live at hidden lakes and I think it's a wonderful place. There's good food and management is very nice and friendly. He gets your room clean once a week. I feel very safe and comfortable. It is around everything. Fred Meyers is right across the street wilco's down the street. Lots of restaurants to go to. I do not know why it has gotten such a bad review, but I think that some people that used to live here were causing trouble we're causing trouble and they were asked to move so I think they they have reviews which was very unfair. Come see apartments. They have lots to choose. They have lights to choose from and I think that you will like it here. No complaints.

This place is absolutely beautiful! The view of the lake from some of the rooms you can rent is incredible. From the dining room you can sit at the table and view it. They have a nice path to where you can walk around the lake. Theres baby geese and ducks at the lake as well. The staff and residents are super friendly. Heather the general manager was very friendly and helpful. Some of the activities Hidden Lakes has on their monthly calendar seems like a lot of fun. The place is clean and seems to be well maintained. I would most definitely recommend this place to a family member or a loved one.
Families love this community. See if it’s the right fit for you.
