Our stay at the Kismet inn was wonderful! The furniture was spectacular, the most comfortable mattress, nice shower, very clean, close to a great bistro, and most of all Shadi (the innkeeper and owner) was extremely welcoming and we enjoyed wine and cheese beside the fire with her for a few hours! Snacks, iced tea, and breakfast were all delicately prepared by the Innkeeper mostly from local produce and turned out great! If you appreciate quality and a unique experience you will love the Kismet Inn.

The Kismet Inn is located next to a quiet park and public library, near downtown Bath. I chose it because they offered yoga classes and a private hot tub or steam room in each room. Shadi is a meticulous hostess, very caring and cosmopolitan. She pays very close attention to the quality of her service and food. Much of the food is organic or locally grown, and she makes jams and yogurt herself. The house itself is immaculate, decorated with antiques and cozy nooks. Shadi designed much of the furniture in each of the guest rooms, and each room has a different theme. My room was large, quiet, simple, and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and I was glad to have chosen the custom-ordered supper. The private yoga classes were held in the spacious attic, and large windows overlooked the beautiful little park. One of the best experiences I had in Bath was doing the tree pose in front of the windows, taking in the sound of the park fountain, birds, and laughing children. I highly recommend several nights stay in this delightful inn.

A very different experience--true luxury accomplished with true simplicity. The innkeeper, Shadi Towfighi, apparently is able to make this happen by virtue of her insistence on only the highest standards for what counts as the best way of doing things. Wonderful bathrooms, interesting and tasty meals, and unusually interesting and substantial conversations all characterized our stay in a way that made it not just fun and relaxing, but meaningful. Can't recommend it highly enough!

How do we start?
The inn keeper Shadi has passion for life, and yet she has a respect for the individual. The rooms have style unlike anywhere else we have stayed in Maine. The whole lodging business is aimed at making one relax, sit back and consider...well....whatever you wish, but you will take time to think of what makes you and the world tick.
We stayed in the Zagros room which had the most wonderful soaking tub, not a bath that has been bought from a supply company, but one that had been created and boy was it deep! The bedroom furniture was all built by an individual local craftsman, so one felt that you slept on a unique piece of timber that had been created into furniture.
The inn was welcoming and full of colour, not a floral print wallpaper to be found....so refreshing in new England! The breakfast mushroom omlette was made with care and local/organic produce, which again had been carefully purchased. The tea served (which was of the leaf variety) in a pot would have defused the Boston tea incident, it was fragrant yet had bite, and was made with BOILING water.....take note all innkeepers of the US....you need BOILING water to make tea and not warm water. We should know as we spent the first 45 years of our life making and drinking the stuff in the UK!!!!
You will not see a Walmart purchased item anywhere in this home, which has few, if any items that have been produced in China. Is this unique in new England or even North America? Every piece of 'stuff' had either a personal connection, or had been purchased for just that spot.
Shadi originally hailed from Iran and was most illuminating on it's history, it's often misplaced position in todays' society and also the part Iranian women acitively play in politics and world awareness.
We urge you visit this spa inn before the whole world descends on it! The town of Bath has excellent stores and restaurants, especially a superb cook shop run by a very knowledgable British ex-pat who sells all manner of things as well as wine & beer. Our credit card shows the level of the stock we purchased!
Also visit the most wonderful sweet shop where all manner of local candy can be purchased and consumed!!!
Best of all use Bath as a base to explore Maine, the coast is unique and so unspoilt.
