1. How do you say the name?

KAEDE is pronounced Ka-eh-day. Even easier than that, say Friday but with a “K”. It is the Japanese word for maple. When Makiko and I were thinking of the correct name, it best represented the feeling of the building and what we want to do; practice hospitality that we both best enjoyed ourselves in Japan and America by creating a warm welcoming atmosphere where our guests can relax and feel most comfortable.

2. Do the rooms have air conditioners?

Yes. We also have Wi-Fi access, irons and ironing boards are available, as is phone service and hot and cold beverages are always to be found in the dining room. TV’s are located in KASHI, UME, and KAEDE, and we also have a 37″ flat screen in the den for all guests to enjoy.

3. Do you have private baths?

Yes, all rooms have private baths. The bath for SAKURA (The Cherry Room)  is located across the hall, but it large and has a full bathtub/shower.

4.  Will I sleep on the floor?

Only if you want to. Our bed and breakfast is a fusion of Japanese and New England tradition and culture. Most of our guests want a comfortable bed to sleep on and TEN of our rooms offer beds. However, some of our guests want a bit more of the Japanese. For these guests we have YANAGI which features a Japanese sleeping platform on tradition Japanese flooring (tatami rice straw mats).
