Island existence is fragile. Islanders do our best to conserve resources. Be like an islander.
Turn off lights and the gas fireplace if you aren't in the room. Don't flush tons of TP.
Don't wash our linens in the town water! It ruins them, the orange iron can't be cleaned out.

About the host
Hosted by Emily
Monhegan is our favorite place on earth and it was a dream to have a home here for more than 20 years. We got married here in 2006 and have been coming to the island every year for more than 20 years. In 2025 our dream came true. We love sharing our dream home with others. We plan to live here full time in the hear future but until then want to share the summers so that others can experience Monhegan. We do live here in the winters - you'll be staying in a HOME not just a vacation rental.
What makes this property unique
This home is unique on Monhegan - lovingly restored by Emily Morse (still the caretaker on the property) the home itself is a work of art. Crafted in the style of an English cottage the home is comfortable and full of sun and inspiration without being stuffy. In our humble opinion it is the BEST rental on the island.
