My wife and I are Mainiacs and graduates of UMaine, living in Florida, and who return to Maine each summer to regain our sanity and peace of mind. Although we have visited Monhegan several times since 1972, 2010 was our first stay at JSHarborhouse and it was fantastic. The Hostess was superb, the scenery spectaular, and we enjoyed three stress-free... More

I have been coming to Monhegan Island in the summer for seventeen years, but 2008 was my first summer in the newly-renovated John Sterling Harbor House. The c.1809 building, one of the oldest buildings on the Island, is reminiscent of old Monhegan on the outside, but its newly-refurbished interior is up-to-date. The location of the old house features great views... More

The J S Harbor House is absolutely the best place to stay on Monhegan Island. The location is perfect - just steps away from the dock and other island offerings. Susan is a wonderful hostess and one of the best things about staying at the JSHH. From breakfast cooked to perfection to one of the most comfortable beds I have... More

My husband and I recently visited Monhegan to hike the trails and check out the Island. We decided to stay at JSHH from the reviews on Tripadvisor. Our room was comfortable and Susan was the perfect hostess. She gave us our choice of rooms and we had the 2nd floor to ourselves. Susan fixed us an excellent ham and egg... More

My husband & I just returned from a trip to Monhegan Island. It was our first trip there. We stayed at the John Sterling Harbor House, owned by Mark & Susan Finkin. We were greeted and extended a very warm welcome by Susan, who made us feel immediately at home. She showed us to our room, a very clean and... More

The JSHH is in a perfect location and the view from our room was beautiful- overlooking the harbor and ocean. Susan was a gracious host and prepared us a delicious breakfast. The inn is clean and comfortable. As others have mentioned, it is on the rustic side but I think that adds to its charm. We look forward to visiting... More

Loved the inn and stayed on it's more rustic side. It was well thought out, comfortable, and Marc the innkeeper went out of his way to make us comfortable. We highly recommend this, weather you wish to cook in, or dine out. Can't wait for next year for a repeat visit. More

We stayed at the JSHH for one night at the end of June. The location was perfect - just steps from the dock, centrally located, with beautiful views of the island and the ocean. Susan was a lovely hostess and prepared a freshly cooked, still-warm out of the oven breakfast for us at the time of our choice on Sunday... More

Located near the harbor makes it great since it really is at the center of town and convenient to just about everything. That is really important since driving is not an option. The place is roomy and clean and the views are spectacular. The service is excellent and the breakfast was mouthwatering. A perfect way to start the day. Recommending... More
