Shadi -
Thank you for a delightful August weekend. We took advantage of many of Maine's wonderful offerings - kayaking, biking, beach combing. After an afternoon of activity, nothing is better than a relaxing, refreshing shower and comfortable bed. We loved it all.
Best - Janet & David

Shadi,
Walking through the door is like stepping into another world. You made our first anniversary so... special. Thank you for your kindness. Your cooking was incredible. Our bellies are so delighted we just can't say enough. Thank you.
Love, Leah & Louie

We loved the scents in your home - the clear air, the shampoo & soap, and especially the wonderful food. It was a joy to be on the receiving end of your hospitality and of the wonderful meals that you provide. Both breakfasts I had here were full of new tastes for me, and I enjoyed them very much. I hope you continue to be blessed by your guests! Warm hearts, and also that you find time to get away and see family more often. Thank you for sharing so much of your spirit.
Blessings, Daniel Webb

Dear Shadi,
I loved every minute of my stay at the Kismet Inn! From the beautiful decor, to the wholesome and delicious food, to the most accommodating innkeeper. Everything was perfect! Nushijon as you say! Please tell Susan that her yoga sessions were great! Between the two of you my energy and spirit have been completely restored. Thank you!!! Catherine Parker, Rye, NY

Dear Shadi -
Such a beautiful, personal experience. Your decor is so unique and elegant and very much 'of you'. It is just a lovely place. I could have sat and read the whole time in the hyacinth room. Your food is so delicious and norturing. I hope to be able to come here again some day when I need another retreat. I found myself really missing my parents while I was here because I kept thinking that they would have loved it here too. Your husband and daughter are lucky to have such a creative talented, loving mother and wife. Much love, on,Shanti, Christina.

Shadi,
True care, compassion, and the finest company! You provided us with a very memorable weekend - Thank you for sharing your excellent talents with us.
Peace to you & yours & to our world :)
Gretchen & Bob 8/7-8/9 2009

Shadi,
It is with devotion and joy that you approach each day. Although it is your work, what manifests is a sweet and simple song, true to the near forgotten ways that recall a softer, slower time. There is a quiet celebration of life here at your Inn; the vibrant colors, the warmth, the tastes of a knowing cook connected to the Earth, the clear, clean breath of spaciousness, and a voice that mirrors the songbird qualities of a peaceful morning sunrise. Thank you for sharing your essence. A house is wood and mortar, a place to rest your head, but a home is comprised of life and an energy that afforded by the walls and a roof. Your home is a true place of beauty, for its essence is reflected not only in its brilliant design, but the openness of joyous spirit that is built with your care. Much thanks and many blessings.
Nushejon! Scott & Kim Sullivan, Woodbury CT

Shadi, Like ships passing while sailing through the night-
our kindred souls have connected in our paths of life-
We are eternally grateful for the uplifting experience.....
Lisa McDonnell & Sam

Dear Shadi, 'Enchanted Lady!'

Dear shadi, July 15, 2009
Thank you for the warmth of your hospitality and the sense of the Middle East you bring to Maine and Midcoast! As you say, this is not simply a place to stay in Bath but somewhere suspended in a quieter time and place, sup-fund with color, aromas, flavors and texture. you have created a very special place, very local craftsmanship but giving a layer world. I surely enjoyed our conversations.
Sincerely, Christine Tree

Dear Shadi,
Thank you so much for your hospitality in this beautiful house; it was refreshing place for all senses. When people ask us about Maine, you'll be mentioned first!
Yours Michael & Binaca, Munich, Germany
