We loved everything at the Hidden Pond! Perfect for our family of 4 with our pups! So dog friendly, we loved hiking through the 10 acres! Can’t wait to come back this summer to swim in the pond. Host was extremely responsive and what a wonderful clean beautiful spot both inside and out.

Our suite was very large, with all the amenities we could need. There were nice little touches such as cookies and muffins left for us. The location was great for what we were looking for- lots of trails and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing and restful stay

Suite was even better than described. The grounds were so beautiful - lots of space to spread out and congregate outdoors. There is another suite onsite in addition to the owners’ house but you can be in separate areas if you want privacy. The flowers were beautiful down by the pond and we saw lots of wildlife. The pond and grounds were so relaxing, I wish we could have stayed longer. We would absolutely love to come back and stay longer next time.

This is one of the best places we've ever stayed. The forest walk, the view of the forest from the comfortable and elegant living/bedroom, the many thoughtful amenities, the art, and the kindness of the hosts are unsurpassed.
