This couple arrived unannounced at 1:00 p.m. in spite of their previously arranged 3:00 p.m. check-in time. They were completely unapologetic. While I was not very well prepared, I received them into my home graciously anyway apologizing for groceries spread all over my kitchen counter and dogs and cats being unrestrained. My puppy made a mistake in the dining room which was taken care of immediately. I gave them a room upgrade at no additional cost. They expressed no gratitude. They broke the ceiling light in their room. I asked that henceforth they let me know if something misfunctions so that I can take care of it. In the case of the ceiling light, I had to call an electrician who was not immediately available to fix it. This very demanding couple wanted a great deal of attention asking for and receiving tea, cocktails (he asked if they could use my scotch), wine glasses, plates, a sharp knife, x-tra bathrobe, hair dryer, use of my microwave, early morning coffee at 6:00 a.m. They ate dinner in my living room. I had to ask him to stop slamming the living room door as the noise reverberated loudly throughout the house. No other guest has ever had a problem shutting that door. When I attempted to demonstrate how to shut the door quietly, he flew at me from across the room to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about. In six years of operating a B&B in my home, I have never experienced such a challenging couple. I expected they would write an unsupportive review to post on the internet. It's just who they are.

I want to address this guest's misperception ("expensive for being in the middle of nowhere"). Kingfield is in the western mountains of Maine which is one of the most popular recreational destinations in New England. Sugarloaf, a major northeastern ski resort is 15 miles up the street, the University of Maine Farmington campus is 20 miles down the street. The Appalachian Trail runs through here along with some of the most spectacular hiking trails anyone will find in New England. The Maine Huts & Trails system offers overnight lodgings, meals and educational opportunities & is a great family destination just a few miles from here and so are several white water rafting companies. There are a dozen restaurants in the area, lovely shops of all sorts and any service imaginable. Additionally, the scenic beauty of this region is exceptional for anyone simply touring in their automobile. My B&B is is the middle of the price pack (rooms range from $89 to $119)and is one of the few that includes in the price a full & hearty breakfast with several menu choices. This couple chose to stay in the highest priced room and in spite of their rather grumpy review, seemed to enjoy themselves.
