The spring was already there.
We built a life around it.
Let the water do its work.
Tucked down a private gravel drive, past a glistening pond and fountain, there's a place that most people drive right past and never know exists. The ponds. The spring. The sound of water moving through both. Between the two ponds stands a vine-covered pergola Chris built by hand — with a stream running beneath it and a cascading waterfall he shaped from stone. People arrive stressed and leave changed. We didn't engineer that — the land did. We just built around it.

Lantern-lit at dusk. Water runs beneath it.
Chris doesn't describe what he's going to build. He walks a piece of land, goes quiet for a while, and then starts. What emerges is always more than what you imagined.
After a long career at Suzuki right here in Rome, Chris made Hidden Springs his full-time focus. The vine-covered pergola between the two ponds — with its hand-built stream and cascading waterfall. The spring pool garden. The fire pit area. The private dock. Every outdoor space was designed and built by his hands — shaped around the natural features of the land rather than imposed on them. He restored a century-old spring-fed plunge pool back to its original flow. He sees things other people don't.
Hidden Springs is Chris's portfolio. If you've ever looked at a piece of land and imagined something that isn't there yet — he might be exactly who you need.

"My first thought when pulling into the driveway was this place is enchanting! My husband and I booked this trip to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and can I just say this was the perfect place! Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be! We will definitely be back!"
"We absolutely loved our short stay at Hidden Springs Cottage — it's a dream for anyone who loves nature, with peaceful pond views, birds singing, gentle fountain sounds, amazing glowing sunsets, and unforgettable stargazing! The outdoor space feels private and magical, with a hammock, scenic path, a hot tub, fire pit and even a charming bridge leading to the refreshing spring-fed plunge pool."
"Hidden Springs Cottage was an incredible stay for our family. The cabin is beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully done, and the setting feels peaceful and secluded while still being convenient to everything nearby. Our three boys are still talking about the ponds, sleeping loft, and overall experience. It made for some really special family memories."
"This was the best place to read, relax, and recharge. The place was beautiful with lots to do on the property. The spring pool was a unique touch as were the calming fountains. Each morning I woke up heavenly as if there was a soft rain outside. 11/10 recommend! I will definitely be coming back."
