2003 Guest Comments
Samples from 2003 In-Room Comment Cards:
"During our 10-day Honeymoon in the Maritimes, we stayed at a number of bed and breakfasts, but none came close to the quality and service provided by Evan and Erin... It is a delicate balance between providing the guests with what they want, making oneself available to them if needed and accurately predicting guests' needs and preferences in advance, all without being overly intrusive or overbearing. Evan and Erin struck this balance, with finesse and style... Their gentle and affectionate hospitality allowed us to feel completely relaxed and at ease. Our Honeymoon was a very relaxing and fulfilling experience in the Maritimes. Our only regret it that we were unable to find other accommodations that were as enjoyable as that of Evan and Erin's Firedance Country Inn. "

Ohio, USA
