The 8th Maine Regiment Lodge and Museum

The hospitality was excellent. The location was amazing!

Great location, island charm, great view, friendly guests

It’s historic and the location is excellent.

There were a lot of stairs to go up and down. A little tiring for old ladies but we met great people and the view is excellent.

We loved everything about this property.

I loved staying at this lodging house ... it is so different from a hotel, it is like going back in time and having an experience that might have been very similar to what people experienced a hundred years ago. It gave me a warm feeling to stay in a place where trust and trustworthiness were built into the experience. Quilts, antiques, a door with a transom. The awkwardness of using the shared bathroom was offset by its novelty and the feeling of living in history. The guests kitchens were the most amazing tie to the old ways. The view and chill provided the supreme luxury of relaxation that you can't get in fussy expensive pretentious resorts filled with people who are intent on getting their money's worth. This place felt soul-invigorating. Like I left there as a slightly better person.

I needed a three prong adapter to plug in my computer ... they had some available, so it wasn't a big deal. There were noises from the hallway, but my ear plugs took care of that. The door rattled as the breezes blew, but I just closed the door on a hand-towel and there was no rattle. To me, these little inconveniences were kind of fun to navigate. If you are fussy and prone to complaining, don't stay here ... you'll ruin the beautiful vibe.

Simple, clean rooms, historic building, outdoor shower facing ocean, location great. My room looked out onto the ocean, staff friendly and helpful. Price was very good for an ocean view room.

I didn’t mind the shared bath, though some might. It was nearby and clean and the other guests were very tidy and considerate. I wish places for food were closer by as I didn’t take the car.

The location is awesome! Half mile from the ferry right on the rocky shore and you can hear the surf all night. Nice common area in great open space by the fireplace on the first floor and a full shared kitchen in the basement which is great for just grabbing coffee or preparing and eating meals with your family.

This is a dorm styled facility so sharing a bathroom is a little awkward but well worth the annoyance in the middle of the night.

It is a unique place to stay, full of history and which mission is to keep the memory of those who battled in the civil war. People are lovely, we sad at the fireplace talking about the history and some travel advices. You can hear the ocean while sleeping.
