This is one of our favorite places in the world. Dinner and breakfast were spectacular, far superior to what you might be expecting 10 miles off the mainland.

We did not stay in the rooms so i could not comment, but i assume it would be similar to Island Inn, the other of the two lodging places on the island. So are the restaurants, Monhegan House and Island Inn restaurants. After the boats left and the island became quiet, these two places where people gather. So we alternated between them. The food is fantastic. Not like other tourist places, where they lock you in and start price gauging, on this island, people are nice and business is fair. We expected higher price because on the island everything costs a little more. They need to ship over vegetables, meat, fish and even water. but relatively price here is reasonable and the portion is not stingy. on top of that, the food is delicious.

Spent a magical weekend there. No locks on the doors, great guests. This is a front porch, board games, no TV, glass of wine at days end kind of place.Rooms: They have beds and that’s all you’ll need. Very basic New England island accommodations but immaculate.Nearby activities: Nite nite fattys for cake is the go to activity. The little non denominational church is also warm and welcoming.Walkability: Everyone walks on the island, no cars and great hiking trails.Food & drinks: We couldn’t believe how wonderful the food was at dinner and it’s included in the room fare. Amazing.

Our experience on the island would not have been the same if we stayed anywhere else. Breakfast and Dinner being included in the room rate and being of such high quality and served by an incredibly professional staff was an amazing perk for a remote island with limited supplies. Our room with two windows and a view of the ocean was comfortable. The shared bathroom facilities were clean with a good design of individual rooms creating privacy. We will be staying at Monhegan House again in the future.

This place is so nice that I didn’t want to write a review because I want to keep it a secret. But after seeing a recent negative one, I felt like I should. I adore this place. My fiancé and I just stayed here for 4 days and I will think about it for the rest of my life. The staff was lovely. The inn keepers were kind and fostered a sense of community (even if we were only here for a few days). At night, you could fall asleep to the sound of the waves and enjoy the almost complete darkness of the town. It was like some fairy tale dream. I am usually afraid of shared bathrooms/ showers but these were very clean and setup for maximum privacy. The bed was comfortable and the blankets were nice. And lastly, the food was amazing. Like we were so impressed with every dinner we had. Breakfast was straight forward and the coffee was good. I can’t wait to come back.

The place is historic for sure, and I think it's part of the throwback experience to have bathrooms and showers separate from the rooms.But that's where the positives stopped. We had a horrible meal, with three of our four dishes horribly botched and a front of house team that was in over its heads. And all this after having to stand and watch for 30 minutes, when we had a set reservation time.Between the foul-smelling tuna tartare, a grossly undercooked pork chop (raw in the middle), and a very dried-out, over-cooked piece of fish, we didn't even stay for dessert.We were scheduled to stay for two nights. We took the next morning's ferry and declined to even try the breakfast we had paid for. Never going here again.Rooms: Expect the bare minimum. Expect to hear every noise outside your door and windows, too.Food & drinks: Dine elsewhere.

As long as you are aware that the rooms are very simple without private bathrooms you will be fine.Loved our stay, good food and quite friendly atmosphere.Idk if I would recommend for young families. Just isn’t focused on the kid demographic.Nearby activities: Hiking, several beer and food options. Coffee roasted on the island.Food & drinks: Local Brewery and Food truck was very good.

The Monhegan House is a great place to stay. My favorite features were the hall of several private bathroom stalls, which never had a wait, and the amazing dinner and breakfast that is included with your stay. The quality of the food blew me away! Great staff as well.

This is my first time to Monhegan and I have to say that I am truly lucky. We stayed at the Monhegan house for a couple of nights. We took the Balmy days II ferry over to the island. The Monhegan House has a truck that meets the boat to bring your bags up to the hotel and drops them outside your room. We stayed in a bigger room, with two queen beds. We even had a small ocean view. The room was so clean and the bedding was crisp and fresh smelling. There are no individual bathrooms but there are many grouped on each floor and several shower/ tub rooms. There is plenty of hot water and the towels are restocked continuously during the day. It is a little pricier than the other inn but the value is better. Not only do you get a fabulous breakfast but a gourmet dinner as well. You choose your dining times and just pop down at your assigned seating times. The restaurant is unable to sell beer or wine so you can bring your own. What a bonus!The meals were fantastic. You can basically order anything that you want. They had up to 6 different entrees. I could go on and on about the food but a quick over view is that it is quality food with every service. My favorite meal was the Korean short ribs that were so unctuous with sage polenta and Brussels sprouts. The beet salad and fried Brussels were delicious as well. We ended the meal with a piece of pumpkin pie with a flavored whipped cream dollop. Even if you aren't staying here, try to have a dinner at the MH while you are visiting Monhegan. You will not be disappointed. I will be back soon.

My boyfriend and I had a really lovely time. The food and just... everything was lovely. Don't expect a typical chain hotel experience — it's much more of a guest house. But that's not a criticism, it's a a complement of the highest order. It really felt like home.
