"Solo weekend and this was absolutely wonderful. Location is perfection and property impeccable and the room(water front view) was clean, quiet and updated. Staff lovely. Adirondack chairs on the grassy waterfront,while enjoying a drink. Family friendly downtown and everything is walkable. So many food options, lovely beach,York is spotless, clean and safe. I will be back this summer and will bring my son for traditions to come. Cheers!"
