À propos de cet hébergement
Cottage classique du Maine - Courte distance de marche de la plage, des parcs, des sentiers naturels et de la gastronomie
Le Briars est un «chalet» de style bardeau du XIXe siècle situé au cœur de York Harbor, dans le Maine et à cinq minutes à pied de la plage. Écoutez les bateaux de pêche qui quittent le port chaque matin, sentez l'air salin et sentez la douce brise de l'océan. La maison accueille des invités depuis plus d'un siècle, plus récemment en tant que bed-and-breakfast depuis 30 ans. Vous aurez beaucoup d'espace pour vous réunir avec votre famille et vos amis, y compris beaucoup d'espace pour vous prélasser sur l'un des nombreux porches / terrasses. Certaines chambres offrent une vue sur le port où le temps passera lentement lorsque vous regarderez les bateaux aller et venir. 8 chambres avec 7 salles de bain signifient beaucoup d'espace pour toute la famille sans longs délais d'attente pour prendre une douche! La charmante maison a été rénovée en 2016 pour inclure 4 nouvelles salles de bains (les trois autres sur sept sont déjà modernes) et de nouveaux meubles pour vous assurer un séjour très confortable. Nous offrons l'un des meilleurs tarifs par chambre / par nuit ou par personne / par nuit de toute grande location dans le port de York.
Notre maison est dans un endroit idéal pour profiter des environs recherchés du port de York. Les clients peuvent facilement se rendre à pied à la plage du port connue pour son atmosphère familiale. Le Cliff Walk commence à Harbor Beach et offre des vues spectaculaires sur la côte rocheuse du Maine et de superbes demeures victoriennes. Le domaine Hartley Mason est un magnifique parc public surplombant la plage du port avec des jardins fleuris et beaucoup d'ombre du soleil d'été. Moulton Park est à deux portes en bas de la rue avec un espace fantastique pour toute activité de plein air avec beaucoup de soleil et d'ombre. Le Fisherman’s Walk est à quelques pas de là où vous vous promenez le long de la rivière et admirez la vue sur les bateaux qui entrent et sortent du port - y compris le pêcheur au homard avec ses prises fraîches du jour. La promenade des pêcheurs vous amène au Wiggly Bridge-Steadman Woods où vous pouvez faire une boucle à travers la forêt ou continuer à marcher vers le village historique de York. York Village (à moins de cinq minutes en voiture au cas où vous ne savez plus depuis combien de temps vous marchez) a été réglé en 1624 (3 ans après la plantation de Plymouth!) et offre un riche éventail de bâtiments historiques (par exemple, Old Gaol - l'une des plus anciennes prisons d'Amérique; une école à une pièce; Jefferds Tavern; The Old Burying Ground avec des pierres tombales sculptées du XVIIIe au XIXe siècle; et l'entrepôt John Hancock, etc. .).
Le port est riche en culture et en gastronomie. La York Art Association est située à quelques maisons de chez nous. La galerie du magasin George Marshall est située à travers les bois Steadman et a une série d'expositions d'art au cours de l'année (le conservateur habite dans la rue de notre maison). Il y a d'autres petites galeries et magasins dans le village. York Harbor Inn, Stage Neck Inn et Chapman Cottage offrent chacun un restaurant primé et sont tous à cinq minutes à pied de notre maison. Le Dockside Restaurant est situé en face du port (à cinq minutes en voiture) et est un endroit idéal pour voir la marina et prendre un bon repas. La marina propose des locations de bateaux et de kayaks pour ceux qui souhaitent découvrir une culture «océanique».
La région de York et les villes environnantes offrent une liste interminable de choses à faire. Visitez les phares. Faire l'observation des baleines. Explorez les forts et les sites historiques. Profitez du refuge faunique national Rachel Carson. Randonnée au mont. Agamenticus pour une vue imprenable sur l'océan à l'est et la forêt / les montagnes à l'ouest (vous pouvez également conduire jusqu'au sommet si vous vous sentez paresseux et visiter l'exposition sur la nature dans l'ancien chalet de ski). Magasinez dans les magasins Kittery (conservez-les pour les jours de pluie). Visitez la promenade de York Beach avec un parc d'attractions, un bowling, une arcade, des magasins, des spectacles, une tire d'eau salée et plus encore. Randonnée-Vélo-Nautisme-Bain de soleil… ou tout simplement en lisant un livre dans les nombreux recoins de notre belle maison. Vous allez adorer le rythme détendu du Maine. Il y a une raison pour laquelle notre devise d'État est "Maine, la vie devrait être".
Vous cherchez à accueillir un groupe encore plus grand? Renseignez-vous sur notre nouvelle propriété de six chambres, Grassmere, située à quelques portes de là. Très grande pelouse avec vue sur le port de York - parfait pour une fête de mariage ou une grande réunion de famille. Nous avons également une propriété de 9 chambres qui sera disponible en 2018.
Be respectful of neighbors by being quiet, especially after 9 pm. If you want loud outdoor gatherings at night, this is not the home for you.
See rule #1, be respectful of neighbors.

À propos du quartier
York Harbor
Cette maison de vacances vous donne rendez-vous à York Harbor, plus précisément près de parcs de loisirs, près de la plage.

En voyage avec toute la tribu ? Envisagez de passer par les fantastiques Water Country et Zoo York's Wild Kingdom. Les points d'eau des environs sont le décor idéal pour vous adonner à de nouvelles activités telles que le kayak et la plongée sous-marine tandis que les amoureux d'aventures en plein air pourront plutôt opter pour la randonnée en VTT et les balades en vélo.

Group of friends come up each fall to enjoy Maines beauty and eat lobster! We also went on a sail boat tour that was wonderful! The house was well equipped for our lobster feasts and all meals. Plenty of room, very comfortable, and we loved the front porch too. Walking distance to great restaurants and the water. Went to York beach since it was unseasonably warm and that was great!

I'm a bit concerned that your group may have been working too much -- having one forget their computer and the other a charging cord -- maybe it was a subliminal sign for your friends to stop working and enjoy the beauty of Maine! :) Glad we were able to get both items returned to their owners.
I hope you'll all come back and visit with us again.

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding close by and the house was perfect for that, from top to bottom. Very spacious and super clean, nice rooms, good variety of toys for kids, great porch, you can walk to the beach, to town … very pleasant to have a good time, to enjoy with friends and family.Thanks for everything!

Perfect house
This house almost seemed too good to be true…..but it lived up to the hype!!Stayed with my husband, our 3 children, 2 spouses & 2 grandchildren. There was plenty of room to be, both inside and out. Loved all the bedrooms & bathrooms options.Had a good amount of things for the kiddos, from a pack n play to a room full of toys and beach toys.Close to the beach and town, although town was small.

Hi Ellen!
Thanks very much for your kind review! I enjoyed meeting you, your husband and family! I'm so happy that everyone had an amazing time at our home. You are the 2nd guest in a row to mention the playroom and beach gear -- THANK YOU - I forget to include that in the description of the house and it's something that my guests have really appreciated over the years! York Village IS small but we love that our guests can easily walk to a great coffee shop, ice cream (that has amazing ice cream cookie sandwiches), convenience store and a bunch of historical museums -- those haven't changed much since I was kid growing up here. I'm not sure if you ventured down to York Beach (10 min drive) there is a small zoo/amusement park, arcade, bowling alley, touristy shops etc. Portsmouth, NH is only 15 minutes away and has an incredible amount of things to experience. Many guests like staying in the quieter part of town but being able to easily get to these other spots via a short drive. We also have 3 incredible restaurants that are a 5 minute walk from the house (writing this more for future guests than for you!). We look forward to you all coming back to stay with us again!

We had an amazing long weekend staying at The Briars! We were a large group of four families with many kids between us and the house was perfect for accommodating all the space we needed. It was so charming and had all sorts of features that enhanced our experience, such as the well stocked playroom and plenty of beach gear. The location was perfect! Short walk to the beach and several walking paths kept the kids busy and made life easy. Lance was an excellent host and was available for any help we needed or suggestions for things to incorporate into our trip. We loved our time in York and will certainly be back to The Briars again!!

Hi Kristine,
Thanks very much for sharing a detailed review. I'm glad I had a chance to meet you all quickly during one of your walks to and from the beach. Thanks for mentioning the beach gear -- I forget to include this in the house description. I know that families with young kids really appreciate having the two beach wagons, coolers on wheels, beach chairs, beach towels, toys/games etc. This certainly helps folks as your cars are already full of baby/kid gear! I don't think I mention the playroom as well in my house description -- we love offering family games, puzzles and toys for those rainy days. You'd think after 27 years of renting homes in York Harbor that I'd include this in my description! Again, thanks for much for the generous review. We look forward to having you all come back to The Briars to create more lifelong memories!
Thanks

The perfect York stay for a girl’s weekend!
A group of 9 girls and I stayed at Lance’s property this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From Lance’s willingness to provide expert recommendations about activities in the area and where to eat etc., his thorough communication about everything we needed to know about the property, and the amazing property itself - I couldn’t recommend staying here more. Lance provided many thoughtful touches and even dropped off a bottle of wine and an amazing pie, we all commented how rare this type of hospitality is when renting homes these days! The house was immaculately clean and comfortable with plenty of space for 10 girls to spread out. The neighborhood was beautiful, we were able to walk to the beach and were just a quick drive to some delicious restaurants. Our group couldn’t say enough great things about the house, and we’re already discussing future opportunities to return!

Wow Courtney -- thanks for one of the nicest reviews that I've received in the 27 years I've been hosting guests! I'm so glad that you and all your friends had a great experience! I'd love host you all again in the years to come. Have an awesome time at the upcoming wedding!
Full disclosure to future guests -- I can't always arrange wine and a pie -- but I'm confident you'll love our home!

Wonderful large home for our group!
We were in southern Maine for a family reunion. The Briars was a great place for us to stay. It is a beautiful older home with tons of space and that older home charm. Lance was a good host. Very close to the beach.

Hi Betsy!
I'm so happy that you and your family had a fun reunion. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback and commenting on the charm of our classic maine "cottage". We work hard to ensure the house has all the modern conveniences while maintaining the charm. You all were so busy with the family reunion activities that you didn't get enough time to experience more of the cliff walk, beach, fisherman's walk, harbor, parks, nearby restaurants etc. Hope you can come back and enjoy all the beautiful local spots. We'd love to host you again!
Thanks
Lance

Great host, very pleasurable stay.
Lance is an excellent host. He strikes the perfect balance of giving you all the detail you need, but also giving you the space and privacy you want. The house was recently redone and is very comfortable and clean. We intend to stay there again sometime.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Lance
I was born in York and raised just down the street from this beautiful home. One of my best friends lived next door to this home and I spent countless hours/days playing in the neighborhood -- exploring fun spots such as the Harbor Beach, Cliff Walk, Fisherman's Walk, Wiggly Bridge-Steedman Woods, Moulton Park just to name a few! As a boy I delivered newspapers and mowed lawns in the neighborhood. In my late teens/early college years, I worked in Stage Neck Inn which is a five minute walk away. I was married at the Dockside Guest Quarters located at the mouth of the harbor where the river meets the ocean. Two of my three kids were born in York Hospital. Needless to say, my heart, soul and spirit are woven into this area.
I understand the needs of families/groups who are looking to rent a home. I've been renting homes to tourists in York and other towns for nearly twenty years. I've lived abroad three times and travelled to over 60 countries on six continents. I have three young kids and we've stayed in rental properties all over the world and we know how to make a home a great experience for visitors!
I'm happy to help as you plan your trip. I've got 40+ years of experience in the area -- I know all the popular stuff as well as plenty of "off the beaten" path and local spots.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
This home has been catering to summer guests since 1899. The previous owner, Sue, bought the house in the mid-70's and I got to know her and her kids over the years. They operated the home as a popular bed and breakfast (the Inn at Harmon Park) for thirty years. I jumped at the chance to purchase the home after she sent a discreet e-mail to family and friends saying she was looking to sell. During the Fall/Winter of 2015-16 the home was updated with 4 new modern bathrooms (3 of the 7 were already very nice), fresh paint in all the rooms and new furnishings. In 2019, we updated another bathroom and added an outdoor shower.
