Breakfast is fresh every morning. Your right at the center of island life with out it being on top of you. The microwave and fridge give you the option to eat on the cheep. However the temptation of the food at The Island Inn just across the road may be hard to resist. The Sterling house puts you at the center of the Island and its history. It is still owned by the original family going back eight generations. Tranquil down east views are out every window. What a great fined.

My husband and I stayed with our cocker-spaniel this June (2017) at the JSH Inn. We got along very well with Susan, who is funny and amiable - she even offered to pet sit our dog so we could have an elegant dinner right across the road at The Island Inn! She was an amazing host. Maybe next time we will get to meet her husband Mark. The JSH inn is very conveniently located both to the harbor and to Main St on Monhegan Island. The almost 300-year-old inn was gut renovated in 2005. It is neat and tidy, authentic in design, pro-conservation and cheerful. Susan was incredibly hospitable and helpful, as her knowledge comes from generations of living on the island (during the warm part of the year). In the rooms, you will find authentic touches including old photos of the inn and windows dressed with charming lace curtains. Be on the lookout for small thoughtful luxuries, including a tiny dish of chocolate kisses and a vase of freshly cut purple lupines. I would recommend this inn for couples, singles, and families of a gentle and polite disposition. I'll be back!

How fortunate for us that it was the last night Topside was hosting guests for the season, since the municipality shuts the public water supply off in October. Yikes! The accommodations are charming and every staff member we encountered treated us wonderfully. I wish I could remember the name of the lovely woman who welcomed us when we arrived. Greg served us local beers at the bar, and Mark and Buzz (and family - Mom and Dad?), invited all guests to enjoy the last night of the season with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Fall in Boothbay is soothing. We so hope to make this an annual trip to Topside for the last weekend of the season. Even in fall, the botanical gardens are amazing!
