We had an amazing time at the Topside on our four night stay this August. The view is unbeatable.My husband and I would have been happy sitting in the adirondack chairs overlooking the harbor the entire time! Brian and Ed are incredible hosts, personable and excellent cooks. The breakfast was a culinary delight, from lemon-blueberry pancakes to garden veggie frittatta... more

This was our first visit to Booth Bay Harbor and Brain & Ed made it absolutely fantastic! Our room was in the main house and could not have been any nicer. Everything was top notch. Wonderful breakfasts and great hosts! We will be back!!!! more

We live in Maine and took out-of-town friends to Boothbay Harbor for a night in July. The Topside was fabulous!! Ed and Brian are the perfect Inn owners - friendly, knowledgeable about the area, etc. but not overbearing; this is not one of those places where you feel you have to make a lot of chit chat with strangers, unless... more

We feel that we really lucked out when we found and stayed at the Topside Inn. Talk about location, the view of the harbor and downtown area is beautiful. Our room was huge and very clean, well stocked and convenient to the beautiful grounds. Private parking in a lot adjacent to the Inn (parking is a challenge in Boothbay Harbor).... more

We stayed at the Topside Inn last week for 2 days and loved the place. Everything was just right and very relaxing. The view from the Inn is fantastic but the service and attention to detail was even better. The innkeepers succeed in making you feel at home and are trying hard to perfect this little gem of an Inn... more

We stayed at the Topside for 2 nights in early May. I would find it difficult to fault anything about this superb Inn. Brian and Ed were friendly and helpful, recommending places to visit and to eat. They even lent me their road atlas. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and as they were at the top of the house gave... more

Stayed overnight with Brian and Ed, owners of the Topside Inn. What a great stay. We had a room at the top of the stairs facing the harbor, and the view, was spectacular. The room appointments were nice as well. The people we met there were great fun, and had wonderful conversations. The only downside was the shower broke, which... more

the inn has something for everybody! the grounds are immaculate-- lawns, gardens, and best view of the water. the common areas are comfortable, tasteful, and stylish. the guest rooms in the main house are absolutely lovely and full of character. the rooms in the other buildings are more motel style, but are updated and can accomodate children, dogs, etc if... more

I cannot say enough about how great my evening was at Topside. I only wish that I could have stayed longer than one night. We had the room with two beds on the first floor of the main house and it was lovely with its own sitting area. There were fresh cookies in the dining area and dozens of current... more

Don't get me wrong. The main building of this place is decent. I stayed in the lodge building with my dog. The lodge is kind of off to the side. The lodge room for pets has a low ceiling and the walls are warped from humidity (?). The bathroom is old and has no fan. Do not take a shower... more
