Thank you for a relaxing stay.

I wish we had more time to wander from room to room admiring, textiles and artwork.  Inhale the aroma coming out of the kitchen and forget life's challenges.  Thank you, Shadi, for the great conversation last night.

This is a lovely place.  Thank you so much for a healthful, soul-resting stay at the Kismet Inn.  We were camping for a week before arriving here, and this was the perfect rest-stop to rejuvenate, eat delicious food, and get our heads straight before returning to daily rind.
Happy, H & R

Dear Shadi,
Thank you for an unforgettable weekend. Everything from the room to the food to the treatments - was exquisite. You have impeccable taste in food and comfort. My mother and I had a fabulous time and feel refreshed and renewed. Your warmth, kindness and oneness were refreshing and lovely. We hope to return at least once a year and wish you all the luck in the world to make Kismet Inn the success it already is! We loved the exfoliation, the jams, cookies and sweet potatoes - and the tea!
Eugenia Cherkasskaya and Anna Cherkasky
P.S., there are too many things to enumerate that we loved!

Thank you so much, Shadi, for taking care of the Ward Family for all the years Sally was studying at Bowdoin. We appreciate your loving kindness, and gracious hospitality. When I think of Kismet, I think of all the things pure: your food, so lovingly prepared, your kindness, the sweet air, the clear Maine skies, the scent of water nearby. Thank you, thank you for providing a respite for us all these years -
Anny & David Ward, Jonathan, Becky, Sally & Nicholas.
P.S. Here's to the incomparable Shadi!

Shadi,
You have been a huge part of our lives. These past 3 years - providing comfort beauty and a loving presence. We could not have made it through the stressful weekends without knowing we were returning to the wonderful inn at night - & your tea & cookies & welcoming smile.
We will miss seeing you so regularly but it is not goodbye.
Thank you so much. Linda & John Chance
Abigail, Olivia, Graham & Uncle Bill
P.S. The graduation dinner was more than we expected - over the top!
