4 Reviews of Property 192730 in York Harbor, Maine

This is the greatest place! The apartment is the upper story of a converted barn behind the main house. Tree top height views, very private, very quiet. The main bedroom has open beam ceiling and a fairy-tale feel. Bath is spacious with claw foot tub under a big skylight for star-gazing while soaking and reading. Big deck over the forest for entertaining, outside dining. Kitchen is ample and very useable. The apartment is such a pleasure to be in that even a rainy day is something to look forward to. Within easy picturesque walk of the York River where local fishermen angle for striper on the tide twice a day then across the bridge to John Hancock's colonial era warehouse on the river, thru the Steedman Woods Reserve, over the Wiggly Bridge on the millpond where children try to catch crabs on strings, then cross the pond and into the village for breakfast, or an afternoon drink, or swim and sun at small and cozy York Beach. Take a canoe up the York River in the morning and spend the day drifting back on the out-going tide. Great walks along the harbor shore. Further out, accessible by bus, is Long Sands, traditional boardwalk resort town. Going out the other direction from the house gets you to a great hike along Brave Boat Harbor, then down thru Kittery area and across the Piscataqua River to Portsmouth, for bars, restaurants, beautiful park, home of John Paul Jones, sight seeing, shops. Perfect starting point for sight seeing and exploring up or down the coast. We've stayed here many times, with kids and without, and hope to spend many more. If you are only going to have one New England experience, this will make a great memory.

I have stayed in the Barn Apartment for 2 summers in a row with my 2 children and husband. There is plenty of space for all 4 of us and even though it is literally 5 minutes from the attractions of York Harbor, Long Sands beach and Short sands activities, it feel extremly private. Brud and Sonia provide a comfortable atmosphere- actually, we didnt really even see them! Last summer we asked if we could bring our dog (she is very well behaved) and they accepted with us providing a reasonable deposit.
We plan on returning here yearly for as long as they will have us!
Thank You Brud and Sonia- we'll see you next year!
