Hidden Pond Resort :: Kennebunkport

I saw a write-up on this resort in Traditional Home Magazine. It is a seasonal resort (as many are in Maine) opening in May. Just visiting their website alone is quite relaxing. I can only imagine how the stay must be....

 The resort offers an organic farm

Pool

Yoga instruction daily. And The Tree Spa....love it!

The Lodge

Cozy cottages

Hidden Pond is thrilled to be collaborating with famed Boston chef and James Beard Award-winner Ken Oringer in creating Earth, our open air restaurant overlooking the pond and nightly bonfire.

The skiing and snowboarding at Saddleback are rugged and serious, and the off-trail backcountry skiing is a big draw. Snow falls most of the day I’m on the mountain, and sometimes the wind is howling. The summit’s elevation here is 4,120 feet, a vantage that gives clear views to the frozen lakes below. “It’s all vert here,” says Peter Frank, summing it up when he returns from his day of snowboarding. “Lots of verticality.”

For dinner, we’re seated near a freestanding fireplace in the middle of the Rangeley Inn dining room, and I’ve got a delicious boeuf bourguignon in front of me when I realize I can overhear another couple near the fireplace. In the wood-paneled scene of warmth, wine, and food, I hear the man at the next table ask the woman to marry him. She says yes! Peter Frank and I want to catch the couple’s attention and congratulate them, but they see only each other for the rest of the meal.
