June 27, 2024 Mother’s Day at Hidden Pond
Two years ago (2022) we started a wonderful tradition of going to Hidden Pond for Mother’s Day. It’s a wonderful time to go before it starts getting busy. We have the property to ourselves for the most part, the restaurants aren’t crowded yet, parking is a breeze, and while the weather is a bit cooler, we almost prefer it.
We stayed in a one story cottage, #12, Firefly. Two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and one with an outdoor shower, which is the highlight of the trip for me.
They have everything you could need at the cottage, kitchen items should you decide to stay in for a meal, or even have a chef come in and cook you one! Don’t feel like eating in? Head to Earth, their on site restaurant for a delicious meal or have the shuttle take you to one of the sister properties other restaurants for the night.
They have a bunch of bikes to choose from on the property – feel free to grab one from the bike barn and keep for the length of your stay. Bike down to the gym or to breakfast!
At 5:30pm every night they offer s’mores at the fire pit. Such a fun family activity. We took advantage of this every night after getting out of the pool.
I loved the individual bags of s’more kits.
Every morning, they drop off a thermos of hot coffee and some delicious baked treats at your front step.
One night we decided to bring in pizza from Roma Pizza in town. I recommend calling early if you go on a weekend, they do get busy.
The next day for lunch we wen to the Clam Shack, right in town, for some of the best lobster rolls I’ve had. 5oz of lobster, served with your choice of butter, mayo or both (but butter is the right answer here). You won’t be disappointed.
We came back to the pool where they have a food truck and go these amazing donuts as a little sweet treat! You can get a variety of snacks there, from tacos to chicken fingers to salads.
I think our favorite part about the trip was the kid’s craft hour with Ryan. And our favorite craft was the tie dye. Make all the mess, do none of the clean up 🙂 Took these home for a special memory of an unforgettable trip.
