York Retreat / Forest Views, Guest House & BBQ

Wander York Retreat is a secluded haven nestled amidst the beauty of Maine's natural landscape, offering an unparalleled escape for discerning travelers. This luxurious retreat boasts a private guest house, perfect for extended family or friends seeking their own space, while the stunning forest views provide a tranquil backdrop for relaxation. For an extra touch of indulgence, the on-site sauna provides the perfect opportunity to cleanse and refresh the body and mind, completing the idyllic experience of this exceptional Maine getaway. The combination of privacy, natural beauty, and luxurious amenities ensures an unforgettable stay at Wander York Retreat.

Nestled along Maine’s scenic southern coast, this area offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, history, and seaside charm. Spend the day strolling sandy beaches, watching waves crash beneath the iconic Nubble Lighthouse, or hiking the trails of Mount Agamenticus for sweeping views of the Atlantic. History comes alive at the Old York Gaol, one of the oldest public buildings in America, while the George Marshall Store Gallery showcases inspiring works from local and regional artists. Families will love the nostalgic fun of York’s Wild Kingdom, a delightful mix of zoo and amusement park. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, culture, or a touch of adventure, there’s something here to make every visit unforgettable.
