Overnight near Rockland, need two beds, August

Question

My sister and I, seniors, are going to Monhegan Island for 3 nights in late August. We plan to drive up and take an early morning Ferry from Port Clyde, but we are looking for a reasonable, pleasant place to spend a night that will give us a room with two beds and parking. Any suggestions? Most of the B&Bs and Inns seem to have only single beds.

Answer

It's great that you and your sister are planning a trip to Monhegan Island! For your overnight stay near Port Clyde, there are a few accommodations that offer rooms with two beds and parking. While many B&Bs and inns in the area tend to have single beds, there are still options for those needing separate beds. Here are a few suggestions:

The Harbor Room at the Port Clyde Inn: This charming inn is a short distance from the ferry terminal and offers rooms with two beds, along with free parking. It's a quiet and pleasant place to stay, with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Guests enjoy the scenic views and easy access to the harbor.
Bradley Inn: Located in the nearby town of New Harbor (about a 20-minute drive from Port Clyde), the Bradley Inn offers comfortable accommodations with two beds in their larger rooms. The inn is known for its lovely setting and welcoming hosts, and it provides a good base for catching the ferry in the morning.
Ship's Haven Motel: This no-frills motel is located in the area of Port Clyde and offers practical accommodations with two beds. It's known for being clean, affordable, and convenient for those taking the early morning ferry to Monhegan Island. The motel offers free parking, making it a convenient choice for travelers with a car.
McLoon's Barn (Cottages and Rooms): Located just outside of Rockland, McLoon's offers a few cottages and rooms that can accommodate multiple guests with two beds. The property is located near the waterfront, and they have ample parking. It's a quieter, more laid-back place to stay while being close enough to Port Clyde for easy ferry access.

Since you mentioned that you're traveling in late August, it's advisable to book early, as accommodations in this area can fill up quickly during peak season. Also, be sure to confirm with the property that they can accommodate your specific bedding request (two beds) when making the reservation.

Wishing you a fantastic trip to Monhegan Island! It’s a beautiful and peaceful destination with stunning landscapes and great hiking opportunities.
