York · Maine · Est. on the coast

A quiet welcome,
by the Maine coast.

The Lynwood Inn is a classic New England inn in York — porch swings, wide-plank floors, and slow mornings that smell of coffee and salt air. Pull in, drop the bags, exhale.

The Rooms

Ten rooms. No two alike.

Wide-plank pine, iron beds, quilts you'll want to steal. Each room has its own quirks — a claw-foot tub, a harbor view, a reading nook under the eaves.

Our Story

A house that keeps its promises.

The Lynwood has been welcoming guests to York for the better part of a century — through nor'easters, summer weddings, and a lot of quiet Sunday mornings on the porch. We're keepers of the house, not curators of it.

“A good inn is one you leave the way you found it — a little more rested than you arrived.”

We keep things simple: a real welcome at the door, breakfast that's worth waking up for, and enough local knowledge to steer you toward the good tide pools, the best chowder, and the beach without the crowd.

Editorial voice draft — we'll refine with you before launch.

The Area

What's just outside the door.

York is a walking town with a working harbor. Here's how our guests tend to spend a long weekend.

A short walk

The Harbor & Nubble Light

Lobster boats going out at first light, the postcard lighthouse on Cape Neddick, and rocks made for sitting on with a coffee.

A few minutes' drive

Long Sands & Short Sands

Two long stretches of sand for morning walkers, tide-poolers, and anyone with a good book and a folding chair.

Down the road

Chowder, Lobster, & Pie

Old Post Road has the kind of small kitchens that still make pie by hand. We'll point you at whatever's fresh that week.

Fifteen minutes north

Ogunquit & Marginal Way

The mile-long cliff path along the sea, galleries, and a very good ice cream stand at the end of it.

Twenty minutes down 1

Kittery Outlets & Foreside

A rainy-day exit strategy that ends with really good bread and a beer at the shipyard.

On the property

Just Sit Down

The porch, the fire, the second cup of coffee. The best amenity is the one that doesn't require driving anywhere.
