Coastal Maine in the winter is an unusual destination choice, but Fodor’s Travel Guides recently recognized the York Harbor Inn as one of the best luxury resorts to visit in the off-season in Maine. We agree! It is the perfect time to plan a getaway! There may be fewer visitors in town, but we still have plenty of activities all winter to keep our guests busy! Our unique lodging and dining packages include our Lobster Lovers weekend on November 14 &15, featuring a comedy show on Friday night highlighting the talents of Kittery Maine’s own stand-up comedian Tom Clark. Chef Bonsey is creating lobster specials on all menus all weekend including brunch! Another great reason to stay at the York Harbor Inn is our Pet friendly Harbor Crest Inn. New this winter is our dog friendly- “Pooch Pampering” Weekend. We have teamed up with a close by dog spa, and are offering a package that includes a treatment at the spa for your best friend, with special in room doggy treats and dinner for two at the at any of our fantastic restaurants.This Package is available Monday – Saturday with 1 week advance notice.
Another popular series is our winter wine tasting dinners. We have a wine tasting dinner scheduled for January 31st, and again on February 15th. Maine Weekend getaway packages for wine tastings are a great winter activity that are both delicious and informative! Learn about the vineyard represented and enjoy a specially crafted 5 course meal that is designed to complement the wines selected. Also on valentine’s weekend, we are offerring a fantastic Valentine’s Weekend Package featuring the musical talents of Michael Troy & Company who’s piano and vocal renditions of classic Billy Joel and Elton John tunes will blow you away. He has recently performed this great musical tribute show to three sold out audiences at Portsmouth, NH’s Seacoast Repertory Theatre. Our package includes the show, dinner and overnight stay! Dinner show “only” tickets are also available.
To welcome Spring we are bringing back our Queen Bee Spa weekend. Treatments include a customized facial using honey from our Chef Gerry Bonsey’s hives or a pampering relaxation massage provided on site. Our guests last year raved about the treatments and the beauty of our Harbor Crest and Chapman Cottage Tavern. This package includes two welcome cocktails at the tavern, treatment of your choice, and dinner for two. Dates for the Queen Bee weekend will be posted in December!
With all these off season offerings, we hope to see you soon!
