Perfect house to welcome and host out-of-state family members, with plenty of space both indoors and out! Absolutely gorgeous area, and close proximity to outlet shopping, beaches and restaurants.

We are so happy our home provided you with everything you needed to host your family. Hope they come back, we would love to host you again!
Comfortable, clean house with plenty of space for a three generation family trip including dogs. Loved the fenced yard and multiple porches. It’s an easy walk to York harbor beach and wiggly bridge. Beds and bedding are very comfortable.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Kathy! We're really glad the house worked well for your whole crew—it's a great setup for families, especially with the fenced yard and porches to spread out.
For anyone thinking about booking: the location makes it super easy to walk to York Harbor Beach and the Wiggly Bridge, and the house has plenty of space to relax, even with a full group and a couple of dogs. We keep things clean and comfortable, and we’re always just a message away if you need anything during your stay.
Hope to have you back again!
What an amazing property! I’ve stayed in many VRBO properties and this is by far my favorite. Not only is the house beautiful, but it is also well stocked with many essentials a lot of properties do not provide. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
It is in a great location, near the water and close to breweries, shopping, and dining. Plenty of space for large gatherings with a fenced-in backyard. The beds were super comfortable. The property host was personable and attentive. Highly recommend!
Considering we were gathering for a memorial service at St.George's Church, the nearby location was ideal...and for a family with members from 10-85, the variety of bedrooms and gathering rooms was superb.
Additionally, the communication with the management of this property was flawless. Much appreciated!!!

Thank you for the amazing review and being such wonderful guests!
We had our family gathering for Easter weekend, making family dinners, going to the beach, watching silly movies and an easter egg hunt. The property was great, close to the beach and other walking areas. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space to spread out without feeling like we were cramped. Kitchen was well stocked and the whole house was comfortable. Contact with the owner was quick and helpful. Would highly recommend this place.

Thank you for the great review, Jeff! We're so happy to hear that your family had a wonderful Easter weekend on the property. We hope you stay with us again!
The property was perfect for the eight of us....very spacious,clean, and very comfortable beds. The A/C was so important as a heat wave was upon us, and we were very happy with the relief it provided. The location was handy to everywhere we wanted to go. The kitchen was well-appointed and we all wanted to take the huge refrigerator home with us!
Kellen, the property manager was easy to contact and very helpful. We would highly recommend The Mount!

Thank you so much, Vicki! It was a pleasure hosting you and we'd love to do so again in the future!
Beautiful, large, well-appointed home close to everything
Our large extended family had a wonderful stay at "The Mount." The property is accurately described and even better and larger in person--with lots of extra "bonus" spaces, especially the porches. House was in pristine condition, beautifully decorated and very well furnished. Kitchen is grand new and has everything you need and more. Bedrooms are large and the beds were comfortable. Easy easy easy walk to York Harbor beach and nearby sites. Owner/property manager had SUPERB communications--perhaps our best VRBO experience yet in this regard. Being dog-friendly was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.
I must admit to a not so good first impression because all of our previous family vacations happened to have occurred in newer construction homes. But we all quickly grew to love this place and our time together. First and foremost, the lovely beach being within walking distance was priceless! …to a great ice cream place too! And only a short ~2 mile drive to supermarket. Ogunquit a mere 15 minutes away.
My only disappointment was that neither master has an en suite. All bathrooms are accessible from common areas.
But this place is great! Beds comfortable, everything clean, good kitchen to work in.

Happy to hear you grew to love the home, as we are in love with it ourselves! The history of this home is just amazing. Glad you were able to take advantage of so many things this home and area have to offer. We hope you come back in the future Michael!
The property was as described and we enjoyed it very much. I gave the location 4 stars because it was on a busy street. My only recommendation is that the owner put up window treatments in two of the second floor bedrooms. The sun just poured in very early in the morning. We did find some curtains that we taped up in one of the rooms. However, for a property that nice and that costly we shouldn’t have had to do that. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay very much.

Thank you for your feedback Nathan. York Street is definitely busy, it comes with the popularity of York Harbor. We will look into getting window treatments for the second floor bedrooms. Glad you enjoyed your stay overall! Hope you come back in the future!
We stayed here to be closer to my daughter's wedding venue. It is a beautiful house with lots of room .
Amenities were plentiful, including a basket of essentials, dish soap, trash bags etc. I would suggest adding dog poop bags, although we did have our own
The bedrooms were wonderful, a few had gas fireplaces.
There were a lot of items on display which I worried about children breaking, all went well with no mishaps.
The "fenced in yard" is only good if you have a very well behaved dog. It is a "wired" fence which has lots of opportunities to escape. I would suggest bringing and alternative lead line to keep your pup safe as the house is on a busy road.
My grandbabies really enjoyed Otis (you'll have to find him) and the cubby. The 5 year old especially was happy with the basket of stuffies, so you can leave yours at home : )
All bedrooms are up 1 or 2 flights of stairs .
The house is quiet, the front porch is delightful to hang out in the evening.
It is close to walkways along the harbor which some quests were able to enjoy. Lots of restaurants nearby .
