We rented the Overbank House for our wedding at the York Harbor Reading Room on 9/15/2018. The house was truly the "glue" that connected all the wedding events: (rehearsal dinner at fosters, wedding at YHRR, and brunch at Overbank on Sunday). During the wedding day, there was enough space for the girls (6 bridesmaids) to get their hair done and dresses on in the master BR area, the boys to press their shirts in the massive hallway, and the boys (and Dads) to play football and croquet on the yard. There are tons of lawn games including corn hole and croquet for folks to play on the property. There is also a firepit and adirondack chair circle for s'mores at night time. The most awesome part of the property is its proximity to York Harbor Beach. You can literally walk there in five minutes and most rooms have views of the ocean.
In regards to the house, the rooms are all airy and light with a great historic feel. The actual house is gorgeous late 19th century with huge windows and high ceilings. The hosts have decorated in a way that makes you feel at home (nothing is too precious or too fancy to sit on). There are great social spaces including a sun room, a library, a huge dining room that seats 12, massive living room, butlers pantry (that was the hit of our brunch), and kitchen. Even with 16 people staying in the house, you never felt crowded.
As stated above, we somehow managed to sleep 16 folks there over the weekend of the wedding. The beds were great. The bedrooms are well sized. The bathrooms are charmingly antique (but super functional).
We would rent this house again in a heartbeat. In many ways, I consider the house part of our wedding party. We have such great memories from staying there and cannot recommend it highly enough (both for party weekends or family rentals).
