Set atop McKown Hill at the highest point in town, this 19th-century sea captain's home is joined by two classic summer guesthouses and offers stylish, modern accommodations and amenities just steps from a charming coastal village you won't soon forget. Water views greet you in every direction and our front lawn provides a grandstand seat to observe harbor activity throughout the day and the lights of the sky at night.

Likely the best place in Boothbay to stay - we were treated so well the entire time and enjoyed all the amenities to get our vacation started successfully. They had everything we needed and more, and if you can swing it I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

My wife and I find the relaxed elegance and warm hospitality provided at the Topside Inn by owners Mark and Buzz and staff (Rebecca and Leanne, especially) to be a wonderful refresher for our spirits.

They wrote the book on what hospitality is and should be! When we arrived,...See More
