Jon & I absolutely loved our stay here! Every single thing about this B&B was perfect. There is almost a magical feeling all around the place. We are coming back within the next year and would never stay anywhere else. Excellent food!! You made our entire stay here feel like we were "home". Thank you so much for your kindness and smiles. Thank you also for your wonderful food. We are actually sad to leave this morning. We fell in love all over again here. Thank you. Jon & Kelly (Pennsylvania)(10/11)

Ginni, you are Amazing! Jen & Jason could not have asked for a better wedding weekend. You are a very special person. The Star Barn is such an enchanting place to come to disconnect from the bustle of daily life. Jeannette & Hartman (Maine)(8/11)
Thank you, Ginni! We had a wonderful stay and hope to return. The Star Barn and grounds are charming and beautiful (a reflection of you!)

I forgot my night time reading at home but got a huge kick out of "Squirrels: Love 'Em Hate 'Em" [ed note: one of the many many books kept on hand for guest enjoyment!] Martha & Pat (Maine)(7/11)
The hospitality and kindness makes you want to keep coming back!! Thank you so much. Mike (New Hampshire)(7/11)

Star Barn B&B is the perfect combo of home and relaxation. The 'Room Yet to be Named' is the most elegant and comfortable room I have ever stayed in. I can't wait to come back. Adrienne (New Jersey)(2/11)
Everything was Amazing! There is little you can do to make this place more welcoming or homey. The only minor suggestion I might have is that people over 6'0" might want to avoid the Loose Moose beds. [Ed Note: They are twin beds.] Phillip (New Jersey)(2/11)
What a wonderful place to spend your time. Ginni and Dave couldn't have been more thoughtful hosts, the B&B was just perfect and the yoga class was divine. I couldn't ask for anything more. Can't wait until next time! Maureen & Alex (New York)(2/11)
I have never been to a B&B before and after going to the Star Barn I am hooked! Ginni & Dave were wonderful hosts, excellent food, great attention to detail - Ginni even brushed our car off when it snowed. Thanks for a very special Birthday weekend! Jen & Jason (Maine)(1/11)
Everything's precisely arranged. Bedding is so good. Warm evening fire. And last but not least, gorgeous view of this nature. Olivier & Paloma (Brussels, Belgium)(11/10)
Ever since we returned home from Maine, I wanted to write and tell you what a wonderful time we had staying at the B&B and exploring the back roads of Maine. ... We hope to see you and Dave again. We loved our stay!
What a wonderful B&B to get away. Loved the quiet & peaceful surroundings. Dave & Ginni are wonderful hosts. This part of Maine is BEAUTIFUL! Will recommend to our friends. Ginni, thanks for a wonderful stay. Both notes above from Joyce & Terry (Pennsylvania)(10/10)
I thank you so much for making one of my dreams come true. We were blessed to share this with you, in Reeds Mill Church and with our family. This will certainly be a wonderful life-long memory. I can't thank you enough for all the extras you did to help us make this special. I will always remember that and hope someday we can give back and pay it forward to another's blossoming love story. Take care. Julie & Kevin (Maine)(10/10)

What can we say? Another beautiful stay! Last year we wanted to come in the fall. Perhaps we can try again this fall. [And from her husband:] Marilyn's words [above] cannot be beaten! Marilyn and Stanley (Maine)(7/09)
Thank you so much Dave and Ginni for sharing your lovely Star Barn B&B with us - your attention to detail is well noted and your Breakfasts just superb. We hope to visit again. Beth & Dwight (Florida)(6/09)

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)

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 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)

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)

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)

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,
