09-20-2008

KENNEBUNKPORT, ME, Sept. 19, 2008 - Hidden Pond, Kennebunkport's new private resort, is celebrating the changing of the leaves with the Colors of Autumn package.  When booking two nights guests will receive a third evening complimentary.  The getaway highlights luxe accommodations in a private cottage, bakery baskets delivered to the cottage each morning, wine and cheese in-cottage upon arrival, and a $50 certificate towards dinner at one of three top Kennebunkport restaurants, including Pier 77, Bandaloop and Big Fish.  Rates per cottage for the three-night package are $790 mid-week (Sun. through Thurs. nights) and $990 weekends (Fri. through Sun. nights).  The package is valid from September 21 through November 1, 2008.

 

The first property of its kind to open in Kennebunkport, Hidden Pond opened its doors this past July and has been met with rave reviews.  Each of the 14 one- and two-bedroom designer cottages features Frette linens, fireplaces, flat screen TVs and Bose sound systems with Ipod docks, heated outdoor showers and a screened in porch with swinging daybeds, cozy blankets and spectacular views of the fall palette outside.  Additionally, each cottage is outfitted with a gourmet kitchen where private chefs will prepare in-cottage "Forest Clambakes." 

 

For a bit of pampering, Hidden Pond guests will delight in the resort's tented spa featuring an array of massage and body treatments.  The property's communal garden, though nearing the end of its growing season, will feature pumpkins, squash and other fall produce available for guests to pick, enjoy and take home.  The bicycle barn houses complimentary bikes to use for jaunts to Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunkport's most scenic coastal area, located just a mile from Hidden Pond.  On cool fall evenings, guests can cozy up to the poolside fire pit, where bonfires are a nightly ritual, or snuggle by the fire inside the Clubhouse.

 

The guests-only resort was the creation of Tim Harrington and Juan Urtubey, residents of Kennebunkport and Miami, whose goal was to create a private retreat for those seeking high-end accommodations and personalized services in a relaxed and natural coastal setting.  Hidden Pond's cottages were designed by 14 Maine-based interior designers. Their creations range from traditional to colorfully over-the-top from Lazy Days, featuring a bohemian-meets- nature-flair to Lucky's retro, mod vibe to Sweet Fern's East Indian touches. 

 

Additional services and amenities available at Hidden Pond are a bright and airy work-out cottage featuring cardio equipment and weights, horse shoe and croquet lawns and water color classes taught by the resident artist.  The onsite concierge can arrange endless guest activities, including sailing and schooner outings, clamming excursions, dining reservations at Kennebunkport's sought after spots and theater tickets, among others.

 

In May 2009, phase two of Hidden Pond will unveil an additional 27 cottages, a second swimming pool, full-service spa cottage and fine-dining restaurant.
