We stayed at Topside for one evening on our way down thru Maine. I can’t say enough wonderful things about it, starting with our welcome greeting from the lovely Rebekah, welcome cocktail, view of the harbor, 3 minute walk to town, lovely rooms, happy hour snacks, easy to meet neighbors….. I will be making many trips back to Boothbay just to stay here again!!!

We did have an issue with the bed as my wife had a hard time getting into it each evening. We did notify the Topside Inn about this issue in their own review site. Everything else was excellent!

The property is beautiful, the rooms very clean and comfortable. The sheets are amazing! The only complaint would be there is no view from the 2 separate buildings although they are stated to have bay views. There are large trees blocking any view at all. On the plus side the porch on the main inn is lovely with views and the grounds are beautiful with mature florals everywhere. The breakfast was delicious.
