John Sterling Harbor House

Established in 2012. Steeped in Real Maine standing atop Wharf Hill The John Sterling Harbor House has been welcoming guests from the mainland to our highly acclaimed bed and breakfast for many years. Owned and operated by descendants of the first settlers on Monhegan you can get a first hand glimpse of life on Monhegan both yesterday and today in... this renovated 1809 oceanside inn. Enjoy a hot breakfast overlooking the harbor as you plan your next adventure on Monhegan. Every room overlooks the ocean while some have a direct view over Monhegan Harbor. Step back in time before street lights, paved roads and the usual commercial trappings of a vacation destination where you can also enjoy picture perfect ocean sunset views from our side yard. Join us for a nightly or weekly stay in our Guest House, Flat apartment or a double room stay Please call ahead for lodging reservations tailored to your individual needs. See you on Monhegan where your adventure awaits at The John Sterling Harbor House. Our business was not fully realized until we were able to have guests on the side we were occupying. When we were able to revamp the westside of the place so we could reside in the ground level apartment and run the office from down below then we were able to go from a cottage rental to almost exclusively room rentals. We incorporated in 2012 and thankfully we both have a hospitality background so it was a natural for us to jump into the business with all cylinders firing. It has been a challenge running an inn so far from shore but we love making friends and seeing older ones return and on Monhegan there's never a dull moment. Thanks go out to all those who helped us stay afloat on Monhegan.Read More
