Classic Maine Cottage short walk to beach, harbor, trails, park & village.

The house was fabulous for our annual girls weekend with our family. We ranged from 45 to 75 years old and the accommodations were perfect. Lance was able to answer any questions we had quickly. I would highly recommend this location and house.

Host was the most friendly, courteous and accommodating. He was very responsive, getting back to you within a few minutes. The rooms were clean and provided with everything. The kitchen had all needed items, such as cutlery, cups, glasses, bowls, and cooking utensils. Overall, this is an excellent place for a relaxing vacation.

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!

First of all - Lance is a great host! We received quick responses and suggestions, whenever we reached out! 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! We all had a great time.

Amazing spot! So lucky to have found it!

Amazing property, good for families

Beautiful home by the beach! It was the perfect location to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday. The house was well equipped and large enough for 11 of us to sleep very comfortably. I would love to come back again!

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!

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.

First off, this house and location are incredible. It’s centrally located to multiple walking paths, the beach, restaurants, shopping, you name it. Second, Lance (the host) was phenomenal. He was very detailed and super friendly. He provided information on the area and the house, including giving us a gift of wine and giftcard to the local ice cream shop (which was superb). He went above and beyond what a host should need to do but it made our experience that much better. One downfall was the heat - the house is very hot, especially on the third floor but there were fans and AC units that we could install and put around which made it a lot more comfortable. Don’t let this deter you from the property because it’s truly a gem!! We would absolutely go there again and if Lance has any other properties, he would be our go-to host. He was THAT good. Highly, highly recommend!

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!!

We were a large group of extended family and the place was perfect. Plenty of nice bedrooms and living spaces. The area was great - lots of places to walk. It was November, but a few of our group were daring and jumped in the ocean which was a quick walk away. The owner was very responsive. We had a minor issue (couldn't figure out how to turn on the porch light) which I messaged him about. He showed up in person at the house right away. Definitely recommend this house!

We had the best stay here for our daughter's wedding weekend! Lance could not have been kinder! The house is amazing. It is so clean, warm, sunny, and bright. There is plenty of room for everyone, comfortable furniture, and beds. We could all pack into the front room to watch football at night. We enjoyed time on the front porch and also on the little roof deck. There are a bunch of Adirondack chairs out back so we could sit in the sun and chat during the day. We could walk to Foster's and The Ship's Cellar for dinner. The walking path down by the water was also fantastic. We wish this was our permanent home!

We had 17 people (and one baby) in our family stay here in the Fall for four nights. The home is very comfortable and clean, and in a lovely area that is walking distance to beautiful trails and beach. Highly recommend!

We were a group of 14, made up of 7 fraternity brothers and their wives. The Briars accommodated us perfectly. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Everyone commented in how charming it was, and how welcoming it felt. There was plenty of space for all of us to congregate and reminisce. A great time was had by all. Lance always responded quickly throughout the planning process and during our stay (even though he was traveling himself). We couldn’t ask for a better host. We’re just wish we’d been able to meet him and thank him personally.
