What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This updated 1990s motor lodge has been reimagined by longtime locals Joe Lipton and Michelle Friar into a year-round boutique stay...
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Explore York's rugged headlands on foot, borrow loaner beach cruisers for salty lanes, or catch the shuttle down to Long Sands Beach.
The rooms
Passive-design waterfront cabanas and hillside suites frame crashing waves through panoramic glass, offering serene beds and kitchen-equipped living spaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor saltwater pool sits right along the oceanfront, lined with loungers facing the Atlantic horizon.
The sauna and gym
An outdoor Canadian cedar barrel sauna sits beside the grounds, alongside a compact workout room with free weights.
At the table
Cocktails are shaken inside a converted 1969 vintage Airstream trailer, served beside wood-fired pizzas and outdoor fire pits.
How it began
Once a 1990s motor lodge, this hillside property was transformed into a year-round boutique stay by local hoteliers.
