Although I literally grew up “working” here, it wasn’t until graduating in 2001, trying College, and enjoying jobs in the Powersports and Marine Sales world that I can say my actual life's work began here in 2016. 
While I was working for others and starting a family, my parents were considering the next phase for Shin Pond Village as they approached retirement age. After learning we were expecting our 3rd child in in 2016, I was able to convince Elka that the time was right to “try” the move to Shin Pond and see if the next phase of Shin Pond Village was for us. In the fall of 2015, we built the cabin, Baxter’s Place to move into. It wasn't much later that we outgrew the cabin and moved into our home in 2018. 

I’m ALWAYS considering and looking for ways to improve, grow, and continue Shin Pond Village. I’ll be honest, it’s my primary hobby though snowmobiling was and still should be. At this point, I’ll just consider myself a snowmobile legend. When not at SPV, I enjoy being close enough to the lake to get out on the pontoon boat with the family, dogs, and friends throughout the summer and going on vacations during our annual shutdowns.

My name is Jennifer A. Maddox, married to Matt Maddox, we love working at home, building our homestead, snowmobiling of course, and living life. Matt started working at Shin Pond Village spring of 2025, and has snowmobiled here since 2020. I started working there recently. They are family-friendly, pet-friendly and Maine adventure-friendly as well as great people who make great food and have created a wonderful place to visit!

One of the main reasons we decided to move to Maine!

Maddox is currently a freshman at Georgia Southern University, majoring in Business Management with a minor in Sales. She’s also a proud member of Chi Omega, where she’s developed a strong love for service and leadership! During her high school years, she worked 30+ hours a week at Shin Pond Village!

Nowadays, outside of school she loves long walks, impromptu trips, country concerts, and cheering on the Eagles during Southern game days.

While she’s still exploring all the opportunities ahead, she may one day step into a larger role and continue the legacy her family has worked so hard to build.

Logan joined our kitchen team in the summer of 2025 and has made a wonderful addition! When Logan is in the kitchen, music is always playing and the work area is always immaculate. He specializes in making homemade cheesecakes, so make sure to stop in and try a slice! 

Tree can commonly be found tinkering on his newest project, whether that’s putting together a new Polaris Snowmobile or Side by Side or fixing some antique rig. He was born and raised in Patten, ME and rarely leaves the area! During his free time, you can find him at Scraggly Lake, on his boat, fighting fires for Mt. Chase Fire Dept., or grooming trails for Bowlin Matagamon Snowmobile Club. 

Kevin has the type of personality that you can’t forget. He’s the first to remind our customers that they are not just customers, they are family! Kevin is a dad first, and a great one! When he’s not working at Shin Pond Village, he enjoys four wheeling with his kids, hiking, fishing, and snowmobiling.

Kiki and Terry grew up together in Old Town and have been very best friends ever since! Kiki and her husband, Tim always dreamt of retiring in Shin Pond. After retiring from her job in the medical field to persue her dream, she quickly learned that her dream also included working for Shin Pond Village! In her free time, she enjoys crafting; the outdoors ONLY in spring, summer, and fall; her front porch; and her pup Milo.
