Quiet and lovely place to...

Liked: Lovely place to stay with family! It's quiet and has a nice view of the pond/lake. Wished we could have stayed longer to explore the surroundings.

We really enjoyed the serenity...

Liked: The cottage is located in woods and beside a pond. It’s perfect for an escape. Very clean, nice beds and a well-furnished bathroom are quite pleasant for visitors who have traveled a long distance.
Disliked: An electric stove and pan will make the small kitchen perfect.

Cozy studio loft

Liked: the studio loft appeared to be newly built, wood throughout the whole loft, very cozy and clean. quiet surrounding and felt very private. lots of cute touches in the loft and art!it was a great place to unwind after a long day of travel and hiking.
Disliked: the only thing we disliked was the parking. you are able to pull your car up to unload, however you have to park down the driveway with the other guests from the other buildings. we were the last ones to arrive that night, so there wasn't proper space for our vehicle, as it was clearly fully booked when we were there

Disliked: No TV or even a radio in the room was advertised on Google maps as serving bkfst, but not anymore.No TV or even a radio in the room, No phone service. we asked for a partial refund shortly after arriving, but were refused. Also, such a strong chemical smell from cleaning products?

A oasis of calm

Liked: Fantastic host...excellent location and facilities

a most enjoyable experience, rather...

Liked: Staying at Rumi in the King Room felt a little like staying in an aristocrat's dacha. The room was huge; the size of many bedrooms in stately homes, with enough room to dance in front of the fire after sipping after dinner brandy. The bed was also the biggest double bed we've ever seen; probably enough for a family of five, and the mattress did not show any disturbance when your other half got in or out. Bedlamps on tables on either side of bed. The decor was serene, the several pieces of artwork around the room were superb; the bathroom included a hot tub spa bath and a shower that had a full length mirror on one side. There was another large mirror above the sink. Towels were of the finest quality. The room had wooden floors, warm to walk on, with a large carpet in front of a (n electric?) fireplace and rugs around the bed for warmth. There was good heating in both main room and bathroom. The room included two couches, a chair, small glass table and a beautifully painted wooden cupboard on which the owner had placed two wine/ champagne glasses, a bottle opener and fabric coasters. There was an ottoman bench at the foot of the bed, and a small fridge. Tissues, soap and shampoo were supplied. One wall of the room consisted of double french doors made of glass and wood, and leading onto a wooden seating area facing a lake and woods. We were invited to use the huge kitchen to make coffee tea or toast, with milk and cream in the fridge. There was an enormous array of plates, mugs, cups and glasses and cutlery. The owner required guests simply to put all dirty kitchenware in a dishwasher which he would turn on when full or each night. In the hallway between the room and the kitchen there was beautiful and artwork along the walls and resting on tables, and two packed bookcases full of many excellent novels and nonfiction books, and many in particular relating to travel.
Disliked: Nother could be better unless you wanted servants to bring you dinner or breakfast. We enjoyed a delicious fresh seafood dinner at a restaurant at the Wilderness Lodge 3 km down the road, and found a very busy cafe called 'the clucking hen' for breakfast just a two minute drive the other way along the Cabot Trail.
