The property overlooks a pretty lake.

The hotel is a quaint option in York Harbor, which attracts numerous visitors in the summer with activities such as surfing, hiking, and golfing. But there’s something to be said for cozying up at this 25-room inn during the colder months. Large, bright rooms feature simple seaside-cottage style. Though the decor in each room varies slightly, most rooms feature shades of blues and yellows, stripes and flower prints, and balconies overlooking the sail boat-dotted water. Some even include fireplaces. The hotel lacks amenities like a fitness center and a pool, but the Dockside hotel is still a great value, as guests enjoy perks such as free bicycle rentals, free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast in the often-crowded breakfast area. Overall, it’s a tranquil option for couples and families looking for rustic charm. See more incredible photos after the jump or read our full review now»
