The Trailing Yew

There is no place on the Island like “the Yew” it is one of the oldest Art student hang outs on the island. More great painting workshop students book here than anywhere else. Why…the staff gives you all kinds of kicks in the bum – with a lot of laughs -, the food is great for working artist, especially the donuts. For kids its heaven cause you can run around like crazy. I could go on, I started going to the “Yew” in 1994 and for me and my family it’s the best buy on the island. Thanks  Marion and the whole Yew crew.

Wonderful afternoon spent on the island. Accommodations were great takes you away from the hustle and bustle on mainland. Rooms were quaint and simple. Breakfast to order, delicious, mainly all homemade and locally sourced the best pumpkin scones! with time to sit down and chat with everyone else in the building. Loved having the peaceful evening here would like to return.

A beautiful lodging on Monhegan.  It is very rustic and we loved that. No electricity in our room, though it is available in some rooms.  Kerosene lamps.  Shared bathroom. We loved the 19th century feel.  Especially nice are the meals… You share a table with other visitors. We met wonderful folks from all over.  Highly recommended for a unique experience.

A great and reasonable option on monhegan. We had 7 cousins in 5 rooms in their seagull cottage. No electricity in rooms. Oil lamps. But bathrooms had lighting. We loved it. A bit of a walk from ferry landing but you’re there to walk anyway. And it is nice to get away from the “bustle ” when ferries come and go. We will be going back. Some nights they don’t serve dinner so ask ahead to be sure. But they will recommend one of the other places to eat and that worked fine. Great for families, couples, and single travelers.
