We stayed in the "Thank You" cottage. It was beautifully decorated and so comfortable in every way. We enjoyed the basket of warm breads and coffee that appeared on our screened porch every morning at 8:00am! I could spend days there without ever leaving the property. The staff was extremely friendly! Thank you Hidden Pond for a great experience!

A beautifully located resort with deliciously decadent amenities. Each cabin is situated in a wooded area affording privacy in an intimate setting. The decor made us feel special . . . as if we were in our own private vacation home. Sparkling clean with no detail left undone.

It was a weekend get away for my husband and I - and we arrived late (due to travel delays) and there was a bottle of wine and a platter of cheese and fruit waiting for us. The first of many perfect touches.

We attempted to scoot out early our first morning, but on our front porch was a basket of delicacies much like our past European vacations. A fresh baguette, pastry still warm from the oven, and coffee. Real, aromatic coffee. We enjoyed these treats at our kitchen table where we marveled at the decor, the amenities . . . the overall class of Hidden Pond.

A day of sightseeing and shopping was concluded with cocktails at the bar while seated by the pool. The foliage was spectacular and we watched it until dark.

Back in the cabin, we prepared a great little meal and spent the evening in front of the fire place with each other.

We have spent much more money at fine hotels - none of which offer the unique experience of a private home away from home. If you are looking for a hotel - go to one. If you are looking for a delightful private get away where your needs are tended to by ever-present but rarely seen staff . . . Hidden Pond is your answer.

To the other reviewer who compared this to a Marriot courtyard . . .that is like comparing Cakebread Chardonnay to Kendall Jackson. If you are not sophisticated enough to tell the difference . . . drink the K&J, watch TV . . . and leave beautiful places like Hidden Pond to others who appreciate true class.

Hidden Pond (one of the staff called it "Hidden Puddle"), is a mini-village of 14 2 bedroom cottages in a 60 acre patch of birches and fir trees. Each cottage has been individually interior-designed by top professionals so that each has a distinct personality. All, though, are extremely comfortable, with flat screen tv's, full and fully equipped kitchens, top-of-the-line furniture, accessories, cookware, etc. Every morning begins with a basket of baked goodies, juice, coffee and the newspaper hung on a hook on your front porch.
A mile from the town of Kennebunkport, guests can swim, shop and eat at restaurants that range from local lobster shacks to gourmet cuisine. there's a salt water pool at Hidden Pond and personal trainers, even personal chefs for those with the dough and who want to stay put.
All in all, a great vacation.

I usually never take the time to write reviews or opinions about resorts or hotels I stay while vacationing, but Hidden Pond deserves to be the exception. Being lucky enough to discover and stay at this hidden gem last year, there was no question as to where our annual New England vacation would be again this year.
From the beautifully designed cottages (which I found to be very private, contrary to the previous review), to the most courteous and helpful staff imaginable. Thanks again for such a great stay..... see you next year...
