Shadi, Thank you for creating such a lovely "home away from home"  I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy and relax your hospitality and thoughtful touches are evident throughout and truly appreciated.  It was a pleasure, I look forward to my next stay in Maine.

My sun (6) and I (59) had a wonderful, long weekend at the Kismet Inn, which rightfully should be re-named Shadi's welcoming home.  The room, hte home, the location, the organic food ---- but most of all the friendship and welcoming spirit.... must be experienced in full.   No words are adequate. Shadi, with all our gifts, joy and love.

I love the house, Mil.
Thanks for everything, Paupine.

What a treat for my wife and me to join you in this very special space.  The peaceful room, the comfortable bed, the superb organic meals served so beautifully, the deeply capable massage, and above all, the gracious warmth of the proprietress!  Thank you for providing us with this time.

Out of the thunderstorm and into the tranquility of Shadi's hospitality we landed!  Comfortable room, delicious food and delightful conversation were all part of our experience.  Thank you so much.

My wife Sandy and I met you Shadi, this day on our trip to Bath.  As soon as we first met we knew the "Kismet Inn" was where we were spending our time, in Bath.  Rather than calling your place an "Inn,"  you make it a "home" for us.  I don't know which is more beautiful, the home or the person living within.  You are a most beautiful woman who truly embodies the phrase "Elegant Simplicity"  You also offered us unconditional hospitality in sharing your home.  Your foods are so wonderful, as everything else is about your personality, caring, loving and sincere inner self.  You will be in our memories and stories until we can no longer shore them.  Thank you for such a wonderful stay,
Love, Ed and Sandra

Thank you so much for this magical time at this sweet Inn.  The room, food and location are extraordinary.  Your company, your profoundly personal way of preparing and presenting your cooking and the way you treat your guests is a sheer delight.  It was a pleasure and a privilege to get to know you and hope to stop by at this little "paradise-of-castle" in the future: 
Fondest Wishes, Elly.

Dear Shadi, our stay at Kismet was extremely relaxing, and serene in every possible way.  From the moment we came in and were greeted with incredible hospitality and joy.  I have never felt as much at home at any other inn.  Your generousness and kindness shines through and reflects itself in the immensely tasteful details of every room, not mentioning the indescribable cuisine, of which the taste and description will forever remain in our memory.  Shadi, once again I cannot thank you enough, and wish you endless success and may this tradition continue to your next generations!  Hope to be back soon.
With love, Manoela.

We had a really good time hear and the breakfast was great and I wish we can come back soon.  The room was excellent and we watched the sunset every night.  It was a great site.
Love, Namaste (A ten years old.) AND Kismet is an expression of your radiant beauty, inside and out.  Thank you so ------ Amy

Thank you very much for your hospitality.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and with you all the best in your endeavor.  It is obvious that you have a passion for this work and a great eye for the details!  Thank you for making our anniversary weekend such a success.

We have truly enjoyed our stay here at the Kismet Inn.  We needed a "pause for the cause" from our hectic pace of our lives.  And this was it.  By far the best bed we've ever slept and napped and read, and great coffee, a great atmosphere, great town and a truly gracious home and hostess.

"What a wonderful way to begin a new life together! Dani and I could not have picked a better place to kick off our honeymoon. Particularly memorable were an invigorating run with the innkeeper's husband and a ridiculously delicious meal of lamb in celebration of our "wedding" Kismet Inn Maine will always have a special place in our hearts.

"Thanks Shadi for such a wonderful time. I will miss the food, laughs, garden, and especially the soaking tub! Looking forward to the next time."

Love, D & M ......... July 2012
