Monhegan House
The handsome Monhegan House has been accommodating guests since 1870, and it has the comfortable, worn patina of a venerable lodging house. The accommodations at this four-story walk-up are austere but comfortable, more so after recent renovations; there are no closets, and everyone uses clean dormitory-style bathrooms except guests who rent the new two-bedroom suites (with a queen bed and a double sofa). The downstairs lobby with fireplace is a welcome spot to sit and take the fog-induced chill out of your bones, since it can get cool on the island, even in August. A dining room serves dinner nightly during the short summer season, and Monhegan's first public Wi-Fi hotspot and ATM are in the casual eatery, The Novelty, behind the inn, which proudly touts its whoopee pies. Yes, if you’re not a New Englander, those are a real food. Damned yummy, too.
