Re: 'Site under maintenance' option
I have a boolean set in my AppController to enable/disable the site.
If the site is disabled, I run $this-cakeError('maintenance') to send
the user to a custom error page explaining that the site is down for
maintenance.
I also use a .lock file in the webroot to automatically disable the
site when I am doing updates. My build script creates the .lock file
before doing anything else, and once the updates are complete and
verified, the .lock file is removed.

Re: 'Site under maintenance' option
You can use a non-cake solution that is use htaccess (or any rewrite
rule from different http server) that check if file app/webroot/
maintenance.html is present. If is there, show the file to any
request. So you can delete/create/rename the maintenance file to
enable/disable. Faster :)

Re: 'Site under maintenance' option
You could restrict it by client ip so that only the blessed ones can connect from a specific set of ip's to the login page. Then you don't have to worry about a secret url you can do the check on the client ip in App_controller and allow/deny and redirect with normal cake process before they ever see the login page. Post a note on the Login page so other admins who are allowed to see the login because they meet the special ip's know the site is in maintenance mode. If you do this I would also only allow admins who are connected from the specific set of ip's to set the site to maintenance mode. Or on the page to set the site to maintenance mode allow adding the current client ip as a valid connection site. It would suck to have to drive into the office because you set the site to maintenance mode while connected from an ip that wouldn't let you login to turn maintenance back off.

Re: 'Site under maintenance' option
Quickly off the top of my head I would set a boolean variable in my App Controller (which could be served from database via a EAV style settings model) then depending on the value you could override $this- Auth-allow(); declarations and maybe $this-Auth-loginScope(); if you only wanted particular users/groups to be able to access the site. You could also pass the variable to the login view to alter the login required message reflecting that the site is in maintenance mode.

Re: 'Site under maintenance' option
Why a secret url?
It could be just check if it's maintenance and if user is logged in.
If not, redirect to login action.
If your login action is too secret:
You also need an maintenance switch (which should be also in DB, if
you're switching to maintenance by editing files then you can edit
secret url also ;) ) so you have to have some Config/Setting model (or
just implement/google one).
Something like this:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/iamcam/2008/10/26/simply-storing-config-values-in-the-db
or anyone that suits your needs.
Your routes.php can have:
Router::connect(Configure::read('Secret.url'),
array('controller' = 'users', 'action' = 'secret_login'));
- or -
Router::connect(ClassRegistry::init('Config')-field('value',
array('key' = 'secret_url')),
array('controller' = 'users', 'action' = 'secret_login'));
