So steeped in history is seaside New England that you sometimes forget they’re building new hotels too. But in the woods outside of Kennebunkport, that’s exactly what they’ve done — though you wouldn’t know it from a glance around the grounds that Hidden Pond is any less than a century old.
It’s inside the fourteen cottages that the timeless rustic look recedes and a certain contemporary luxury takes over. A cabin in the woods is one thing, but add fireplaces, full kitchens, iPod docking stereos and bright, upbeat décor by a dozen or so local designers, and you’ve got yourself a decidedly upscale proposition. Outdoor showers allow you to make the most of the summer weather, and down duvets keep you nice and warm in winter.
Think of it as a summer camp, but the kind you’d actually willingly be sent to — there’s a spa, a fitness center, yoga classes, an on-site organic farm, and a fleet of bikes for roaming the countryside of southern Maine. And despite the secluded, wooded location, you’re just a few minutes from the beach, and a short drive from Kennebunkport proper, for when you’re in the mood for a bit of resort-town activity.
