Thank you Jo-Ann and Rob for such a luxurious stay! The place was clean and very comfortable. All the added touches made the trip very enjoyable - the fruit, baked goods, chocolates, the Gong, the beautiful interior decoration, the hot tub, and serene vibe of the property. We look forward to returning soon!

Our stay was peaceful and rejuvenating. We loved sitting on the sofas and looking out the windows at the trees. Rob was just a text away, and so friendly and helpful. The linens were high quality, and the water for bathing was nice and hot! It was just as beautiful as the photos.

We cannot express how great our stay at hidden pond was! Rob (Jo-ann was away) went way above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay, and he succeeded ten fold. The property is beautiful and there was plenty of space for our girls weekend. We did not have kids or pets this time but could see the potential for the best stay with your young ones and furry friends. Again, just the most fantastic hosts. Highly recommend.
