The Area

The Lynwood Inn is located in the quaint historic community of York, Maine nestled in an oceanside Victorian neighborhood. Rich in history, and equipped with miles of sandy beaches, this town is a popular tourist destination. The Nubble Lighthouse is less than a mile from our doorstep, as is the downtown Short Sands Beach area – complete with a zoo and amusement park, bowling alley, arcade, and dozens of shops and restaurants.

York is also home to museums, fine dining, biking & hiking trails, and shopping destinations – such as the flagship store and corporate headquarters of Stonewall Kitchen specialty foods company. You can’t leave York without enjoying a Maine Lobster….available at just about every restaurant in town! Don’t miss the “Wiggly Bridge” that leads to a peaceful nature preserve or a visit to Mount Agamenticus – once a ski resort, now a lookout with wildlife center, and miles of trails to explore.

Kittery, Maine, located just south of York, is home to dozens of outlet stores and the Kittery Trading Post – a must stop for shoppers in your family! Portsmouth, New Hampshire is just a quick 15 minute drive and boasts music, entertainment, theater, and plenty of restaurants and shops.
