Having recently come back from our 8th stay, this place continues to place me in awe. From the welcoming Iris, Hydrangea and Lily Bouquet compliments of gardener Elizabeth, to the chilled PJ and DD coffee, they really know how to treat you here. Earth continues to be laden with great pairings, where else can you get foie gras and pizza... More

This was a perfect get-away retreat for an overnight with friends. We stayed in a two-bedroom cottage, and made good use of the fireplace, since it was a rainy weekend. The on-site restaurant "Earth" was cozy with outstanding food and good wine choices.

I just returned from a three night stay at Hidden Pond with my husband and three teenagers. We enjoyed the resort and the two bedroom cottage was nice for a family.

Dear Iwohara: Thank you for sharing the experiences from your family vacation to Hidden Pond. Hidden Pond is the perfect home base for a Kennebunkport vacation as it provides seclusion in a peaceful environment, yet is still a short trip away to downtown Dock Square for shopping, walking and excitement.
