Dockside Guest Quarters
David and Harriette Lusty established this quiet retreat in 1954, but more recent additions and new management (son Eric and wife Carol) haven't changed the friendly, maritime flavor of the place. Situated on an island connected to the mainland by a small bridge, the inn occupies nicely landscaped grounds shaded with maples and white pines. A few of the rooms are in the cozy main house, built in 1885, but the bulk of the accommodations are in small, shared, town-house-style cottages down by the water added between 1968 and 1998. These are simply furnished, but bright and airy; most have private decks overlooking the entrance to York Harbor. Several also have woodstoves, fireplaces, and/or kitchenettes (though you do pay quite a bit extra for the kitchenette units and suites). The inn also maintains the Dockside Restaurant (run by Philip Lusty, yet another son, and his wife, Anne) and offers tours of the harbor from its own private dock.
