Enjoyed our time here. Loved the place and all the Maine made items. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Dixie & Jerald (Maine)(5/09)
I never stayed at a B&B so I didn't know what to expect! But after visiting for one night I can say I really loved it and everything was phenomenal and amazing. Gary & Mallory (Maine)(5/09)
My family really enjoyed staying in the B&B. My cousin Dee was the photographer for the trip. She was taking pictures of everything and everyone. One night, she and Teresa discovered the 'mouse hole in the wall'. They took a couple pictures of that, too. They took a picture of the sled, I don't remember what it's called, but it looks like a seat on top of a single ski. I had ridden one of those before. Teresa's dad, who is no longer with us, had told his kids about that kind of sled because he used one as a kid. She was glad to finally see one, because she couldn't quite picture what her dad was talking about. She wanted the picture so she could show here siblings. There are so many wonderful things to see in the B&B. Terri & the gang (Maine)(5/09)
Everything was superb - from the attentive hospitality to the food, the fire, down to the fun soaps and shampoos! Thank you so much - we’ll be back or spreading the word whenever we can. Thea (7) especially loves the games and food, she says. Sandy, Ken & Thea (Mass)(3/09)
What a terrific place! We really enjoyed our brief respite from daily life. Thank you for the warm welcome and excellent food. We also really appreciated how immaculate everything is - great for Josh's allergies. Emily & Josh (Maine)(2/09)
Thank you so much for having us all up here. Your baked french toast absolutely rocks! The barn is beautiful and smells amazing. Everything was really awesome. You have built something truly wonderful. Thank you again. Karissa and friends (New Jersey)(2/09)
Thanks again so much for your hospitality and kindness this weekend....Elizabeth and I had such a relaxing weekend at your B&B and are so fortunate to have discovered it! You have done an amazing job of transforming the barn into what it is today....lot of hard work and dedication, you should be extremely proud and pleased at the results. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in on Saturday afternoon.....just a great way to relax up in Western Maine, a region we both love very much. We plan to pass our good experiences onto our friends and family, truly it's the least we can do for the hospitality and warmth you showed us this weekend. The room was great and the location to Saddleback worked well for us. Most of all, your great breakfasts will keep us smiling for a good long time! Again, thank you very much and best wishes going forward. We'll see you again. Chris & Elizabeth (New Hampshire)(2/09)
Thank you so much for all of the wonderfulness that was our experience at Star Barn! Delicious breakfast, drinking wine while relaxing by the crackling fire and our adorable room were all highlights of the stay. Thank you especially for lending us snowshoes to tramp around your gorgeous property! Your warmth and hospitality were amazing and we feel so blessed to have been able to have this time at Star Barn. Devon & Jeff (Mass)(2/09)
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Though we've come to the area for a long time, we really loved staying here! Ben says, "love the food!" Thanks for making us feel so at home. Can't wait to tell others about it! PS Ben loved the caramels on the bureau! Ross, Sandra & Ben (Maine)(1/09)
I don't know how it could have been nicer. The room is beautiful, comfortable, homey. The food was delicious and thoughtful. Ginni, you are the best - friendly, kind, giving. Thank you. Rosemary & Craig (Massachusetts)(11/08)
We have had a wonderful stay in this B&B. The room was very cozy. Everything was very clean. The breakfast is delicious. We enjoyed the living room areas. And we are very grateful that it is a family friendly place. Andres & Diana (& Bruno) (Maine)(10/08)
Your warm hospitality and the charm of your B&B truly made us feel like we were in our "home away from home." We appreciate all the personal touches especially those outstanding cookies and brownies. The Sar Barn will surely be recommended to all of our friends and family. Best of luck to both of you in all of your endeavors. Rita & Dennis (Maryland)(10/08)
We have truly enjoyed our stay at the Star Barn. We found plenty of relaxing things to do with our 9 year old grandson who loved it here as well - especially the board games, hiking nearby and the gorgeous scenery. He liked counting 21(!) moose seen in our room! Bob, Sue & Brett (Massachusetts)(10/08)
Thanks for a wonderful memory. Thank you for the wonderful time at Star Barn. We loved the decor, comfortable bed and bedding, warm fireplace, and overall feel of your B&B. The breakfasts were delicious including the baked apples, homemade muffins and breakfast bread pudding(?) At your convenience, please send me the recipe. It was out of this world awesome! I recommended your B&B to all my New England family and friends. We will certainly be back to stay the next time we're in the area. We truly had an enjoyable and memorable stay. You're an excellent hostess. Thank You! Susan & John (Arizona)(10/08)
We really enjoyed our stay! Great decor! Rita & Bill (Pennsylvania)(10/08)
This was a unique experience in every way. We just loved everything! Thanks so much for being a quiet haven for our 4 days in Rangeley area, Maine. We will recommend Star Barn B&B!! Janet & Bob (Massachusetts)(10/08)
We wish we could stay more than one night... and with better weather...! Fernandu & Theodor (Israel)(10/08)
What a wonderful surprise to find a place like yours. It's beyond words. Our only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer. We enjoyed sharing bits of genealogy and the history of the house, barn and area. The breakfast was scrumptious. Hank thought the walk up the path up into the woods to your 'private grotto' was just extremely peaceful. We hope to go back again and this time will plan on staying longer in order to see more of the area. We wish you well and thank you for a very special stay. Hank & Lucille (Maine)(9/08)
Hello David and Ginni! I just wanted you both to know what a nice time we had at your retreat.
Everything was so perfectly done. The breakfast was delicious and healthy. The view from the yard where we had a glass (or two) of wine was incredibly beautiful. It was great to get some exercise on the mt. bikes and check out more scenic spots. Thank you both so much! See you in March.
Susan & Hannu (New Hampshire)(9/08)
It was great. Good sleeping, good food and our hosts were superb. Thank you. The Barn is so wonderful. We love you! Sally & Bill (Pennsylvania)(9/08)
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. You made this a great (& much needed) relaxing weekend for both of us. All of the extra attention you gave us is much appreciated. Lindsay & Chris (Maryland/Virginia)(9/08)
Thank you for sharing your Star Barn - perfect accomodations and awesome breakfast. A wonderful way to begin a hike [on Saddleback]! Monika and Diane (New Hampshire)(8/08)
We had a lovely week of delicious food, charming and knowledgeable innkeepers, all combined in a relaxed atmosphere. Your star shines bright! Thank you Ginni & Dave for creating such a wonderful place to visit, and it is you who makes it so special. We will come here again. It was delightful. Tim & Iris (New York)(8/08)

We had a wonderful time at the Star Barn. We'd recommend it to anyone and everyone staying in the area. Extremely thoughtful and generous hosts. Such a wonderful weekend and a beautiful home! Thank you and see you again soon! Nicole & Jeramiah (Florida/Maine)(8/08)
This was everything we were hoping for: quiet relaxing and a great base for exploring the beauty of ME. Thanks again Ginni for delicious vegan breakfasts every morning. We felt like we were at home - without any of home chores. Xena & Juan (Maine)(7/08)
We had a very relaxing stay at the Star Barn. The breakfasts were great and so was the hospitality. We only wish we could have done a Yoga session with Ginni here, but we caught up with her in Rangeley nonetheless. Cliff & Susan (Georgia)(7/08)
Wonderful-- Wonderful-- Wonderful-- Thank you for your hospitality and gracious place to stay! Stanley & Marilyn (Maine)(7/08)

We LOVED it!! Thank you so much for such great hospitality. The Barn is such a nice place to relax for a few days and the breakfasts tasted wonderful and were healthy too. See you in October!! Karen & Jay (Massachusetts)(6/08)
A wonderful experience. Loved the food, talking to you and your husband and every room has a charm to it. Would gladly suggest to friends to stay here. I'm sure we will be back again. Roland & Lois (Connecticut)(6/08)
Wow! You are amazing in many ways. The room was absolutely delightful and you are a wonderful hostess. I hope to see you again another time we don't go to camp. Thanks! God Bless Yall! Gabby P (New Hampshire)(3/08)
Wonderful experience! As a repeat customer, this place gets better with age! Many, Many thanks. Edie & Carl (Massachusetts)(2/08)
A magical place! Starting with a Yoga class upon arrival provides a great transition to the serenity of Star Barn. Breakfasts were homemade, warm & delicious. David and Ginni are wonderful hosts who love to share their experience & tranquility with their guests. Look forward to an opportunity to return. Thank you! Debbie (Portland)(2/08)
We had a wonderful time this weekend! The hospitality was superb - Ginni was/is a great hostess. This was a first experience at a B&B and we felt very welcomed - like we were staying with relatives! We will definitely return & would love to see the new guest house when it is completed as well. During my stay I saw a moose on Hwy 4, 2 deer, 1 on Saddleback and 1 on Rt 4 and there were 8 turkeys in the backyard when I woke up! It was very peaceful and you can count on us for referrals! Good luck on the construction and finishing touches on the barn, I can't wait to see it completed! Cheers, Shayla and James (Mass & Maine)(10/07)
We really enjoyed the unique b&b. It had many modern updates (ie, cable) and many lovely antiques. And of course, the food was awesome! Thanks for a lovely stay. Margaret (Polk City, Iowa)(10/07)
Everything was very lovely! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and for your generous hospitality. We will definitely be back. Jeri & Dean (Weymouth, Mass.)(10/07)
David & Ginni - You have done such a beautiful job with this house. It was such a restful stay for us. We so enjoyed the warmth and comfort of your home. Thank you. We'll see you again. Bob & Sandi (Nobleboro, Maine)(8/07)
We enjoyed the warm hospitality of Ginni and David for nearly a week. The Star Barn gave us much more than we expected. Ginni served a five-star breakfast every day. The house is surrounded by a beautiful landscape that you will only discover when you are able to stop having a look at the many details they put into their house. We wish you good luck with the new barn! Larissa & Daniel (Germany)(8/07)
Your B&B is 5-Star for hospitality, service, privacy and friendliness. You and David go above and beyond. Lovely place. We'll be back. John B. (Leeds, Maine)(7/07)
Thanks so much for being there when we needed a place to stay and clean up. Our last idea was sleeping under a bridge which I wasn't too thrilled about. Thanks for everything. God bless. Jamie B. (Maine)(7/07)
Very relaxing after a very stressful day. Enjoyed the decor of the room and the view from the windows was beautiful. We would definitely stay again. (7/07)
I thank you so much for the "slice of heaven" on earth that Star Barn has offered. Every little "touch" has been greatly appreciated! I'll be back and will recommend! Edie B. (Mass)(7/07)
Thank you so much for a truly peaceful, tucked away slice of heaven. Everything was perfect. I really hope we can get back soon and will certainly recommend you to everyone. Best of luck with the barn and see you soon. Thanks again. Candace and Dominic K. (Mass)(7/07)
What a wonderful treat after spending several nights "roughing it"! I felt like a princess in just a perfect place - beautiful grounds, warm comfy bed, good food... what else could I ask for? Denise C. (Manchester, NH)(6/07)
We thank Ginni for a lovely visit. Our breakfasts were very special. Grazie e arrivederci presto! Charlotte and Gabriele (Italy)(6/07)
Thanks-
Everything was great! You've thought of everything to make your guests comfortable. Jeanne M. (Westford, Mass.)(6/07)
Dear Ginni and David,
Our six night stay with you folks was wonderful. It was like home away from home with a spa-like breakfast cuisine. We appreciated your friendliness and willingness to treat us like family. We can't wait to come back to Maine and stay with you again. Kindest Regards, Chip and Sue (Phelan, California)(4/07)
Dear Ginni and David,
We want to thank you for welcoming us into your cozy home and showing us the beauty and adventures of Maine. Good luck with the B&B! We're already recommending it to our friends who stay in Maine sometimes. Love, Mike and Grace (Connecticut)(4/07)
