Patio at Andrea's Gate Cottage at Hidden Pond -- Kennebunkport, ME

Reopening for the season today, the tranquil Hidden Pond resort — spread over a whopping 60 acres — features 36 suite-like bungalows and two-bedroom cottages. While each have their own personality, they are all bright, homey, and sophisticated, characterized by pops of color and lodge-like touches (think stone fireplaces adorned with antlers orlamps made from a tree branch). The spa is set up to resemble a tree house, and free yoga classes are held at the organic farm (where guests may also pick fresh flowers and veggies). Another outstanding feature is the outdoor bar and grill that sits on a “sand bar,” with chairs circled around fire pits. This boutique, luxury hotel attracts couples with its peaceful environment and top-notch restaurants, as well as families with its cottages that include full kitchens and washer/dryers. The hotel also provides a free shuttle to the beach, which is just a five-minute drive away. Check out more incredible photos after the jump or read our full review now»
