We enjoyed our stay at the Minnie House while in York. The house was clean and a fully stocked kitchen regard's to appliances and dishes. The location was a 5-10 minute walk to short sand beach, which I wasn’t too impressed with. This location is a 10 minute drive to better beaches like Ogunquit and Wells This is a great place for a home base in the area.

This is a great location for walking to Short Sands beach and all it has to offer. It’s just minutes away. All necessary kitchen items were provided, and then some. From glassware to cooking utensils, everything was there, and very clean. Overall, the house was quite comfortable, however, the air conditioning unit in the main front bedroom was extremely noisy and we couldn’t sleep with it on. Fortunately there was only one night we would have used it. Beds were comfortable. Communication with our host was excellent and any questions were answered immediately. The convenience of staying here was just what we wanted and worked out perfectly.

We had an amazing stay in York! The house was comfortable for our family of 5. We walked to the beach and downtown easily with our beach gear, sometimes a couple times a day. My daughters and I left from the house and ran a 3.4 mile loop to the Nubble Lighthouse and back, so many beautiful views! We also rode our bikes the same loop to see the area at sunset and had ice cream at Dunne’s before heading back. We found a great coffee place to walk to, and an ice cream place (in Wells) that serves up ice cream FLIGHTS! The deck was a nice bonus to be able to enjoy the nice weather we had. The beds were comfortable, as were the couches in the living room. Owner very responsive to questions.
