About the host
Hosted by Kimberly DiCesare
We bought this cottage years ago and brought it back to life after many years of neglect. It is truly our happy place. Our goal was to create a vacation spot with all the conveniences we looked for when we rented beach cottages with 2 young kids. We wanted something better than just a hotel room. We wanted a place where both the adults and the kids could kick back equally to have fun. Once we created it, we named it The York Hut. We wouldn't trade our place for mansion and we hope you love it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The York Hut and York Maine is quintessential New England. The location of the cottage is perfect. It is close enough to everything but set back just enough from the beach to be peaceful and private.
