The Basics

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.

Common areas of the inn are comfortable and beautifully decorated and breakfast...See More

This inn is fabulous! The views are awesome, the food and service is fantastic. The location is perfect for exploring Boothbay Harbor while also feeling like you are nestled in your private spot. We loved it and can't wait to return. Mark, Buzz, and Leanne made our stay (which included getting engaged!) one we will never forget!

Oh, did I mention the...See More

We stayed two nights at the Topside for our trip along the Maine coast, celebrating our 13th anniversary, and the Topside really went above and beyond. They wrote the book on what hospitality is and should be! When we arrived,...See More
