“Truly unique and wonderful experience... worth every penny”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2009

Where to start..

1) The grounds are unbelievable.. remote, private and in the Fall.. just breathtaking.. the spruce trees, the leaves, the silence of quiet and remoteness.. just perfect..

2) The cottages.. all amazing.. decorated to a theme and the touches are all homey and every detail is considered. The cottages are all very clean.. probably more so than my own home.. The fireplace.. wonderful and easy to use..

3) The morning breakfast delivery (free I might add).. fresh and amazing.. left on your porch each morning.

4) The bonfire and lodge- all amazing experiences.. very homey and they make you feel like the lodge is yours also..

5) The garden.. very cool.. you can pick your own spices/veggies.. I used several when I cooked..

6) The customer service - all amazing friendly people. Went out of there way to help with day trip foilage planning, made sure we had bottled water and something to eat..

I would stay here again in any season (they are closed in December but Xmas would be amazing).. A very very personable and comfortable place..

If I were to change anything about the property.. I think they need blinds on the doors.. even though it's a private place.. in the evenings women can get uncomfortable with no privacy on the doors..

All in all.. just wonderful.. Sincerely, IOTexas

“No comfort overlooked....”

My husband and I had a thoroughly enjoyable visit to Hidden Pond. The courteous staff did everything humanly possible to make us comfortable - magically appearing when we needed something and remaining invisible when privacy was the priority. As we had hoped, Hidden Pond seemed to be the perfect place to retreat and tune out the real world though on those occasions when we chose to venture out, there was a charming nature trail, fitness classes and best of all - bicycles at our disposal. And if you happen to linger too long at the comfy lounge where the bartenders make PERFECT martinis - fear not! In the very early morning, SOMEONE leaves hot coffee, juice, milk and muffins warm from the oven just outside your door. Seriously - you won't want to leave.

“The best!!!”

Hidden Pond...what a retreat! The grounds are beautiful, located about 10 mins by car from KBT town center. Our cottage was # 11 Lucky -- beautifully decorated and comfortable. The screened porch was perfect for reading the newspaper in the mornings after receiving your "breakfast basket" with homemade fresh breads, muffins, orange juice, coffee, and a different marmalade every day. You can borrow a bicycle and stroll down to Goose Rocks Beach for a tranquil walk. The fresh air, the foliage, the cool weather, and the combination of a beautiful place like Kennebunkport together with Hidden Pond made for a perfect escape! Can't wait to return!

“A great experience...Hidden Pond is perfect in every aspect!!!”

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 SPECTACULAR FIND - a truly precious gem.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2009

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.
