Should we stay on Monhegan

We have Sun am - Mon noon to devote to Pemaquid / Monhegan.

We like to hike around versus shop.

Should we stay on Monhegan; if so, where? The Island Inn looks nice but a bit expensive.

Any rec%26#39;s would be appreciated.

Should we stay on Monhegan

We always stay at the Island Inn and enjoy it. Check:

for other Monhegan accommodations---most of which will be house rentals, I believe.

I definitely would stay on Monhegan at the Island Inn. When you realize how tough life is out there, the prices at the Island Inn don%26#39;t seem so high. They have limited water and electricity which means they have to take all their linens on the ferry to be washed on the mainland. Everything has to come by boat. But yet the place is squeaky clean, simply furnished, and has a very good restaurant.

If you like hiking, you%26#39;ll love the trails on Monhegan. You can do them all. The island is small. It%26#39;s really a very special place. When the last ferry leaves and you are left out on that island for a night or two, it seems quite far away from America and your usual daily life. I highly recommend it.

The Island Inn is excellent. The Monhegan House also has a very good rep but we have not yet stayed there ourselves. Shining Sails is probably the nicest B%26amp;B on the island, although breakfast there is a pretty simple ';continental'; breakfast only.

I would absolutely stay on Monhegan. The hiking around the island is fabulous. We stayed in Pemaquid a few years back and spent a day on Monhegan. I would love to go back.

I can%26#39;t recommend a place to stay. The food was very good at the Island Inn.

Yes!! The island is wonderful - I%26#39;ve been there a few times and only truly appreciated it on an overnight visit. We stayed at Monhegan house, it%26#39;s fine, basic ';dorm';-like rooms but very comfortable (if you don%26#39;t mind a shared bath). Meals were available there, we also bought food for a picnic while hiking.

I%26#39;ve vacationed in the Pemaquid area for over 30 years and love it. Be sure to visit the lighthouse at Pemaquid Point, and see old Fort McHenry. It%26#39;s a beautiful place, unhurried and uncrowded. Enjoy!!

I have stayed at the Trailing Yew. The accommodations were very simple but the breakfast was hearty and tasty. The cost was the only reason I chose it over the Island Inn. I really enjoy Monhegan, I recommend it.
