Our family gathered for a long overdue reunion at the Telegraph office which has been beautifully renovated. The seven bedrooms are well spaced over three floors, so plenty of private nooks and crannies for a large group. The kitchen/dining area has a large table that is perfect for family dinners. The kitchen is well supplied with cookware. The backyard BBQ and fire pit work well for meals al fresco. The shed is well supplied with beach chairs and other fun stuff. And the location is a short walk to the Harbor Beach, a real jewel. In short, this is the perfect spot for a Maine shore vacation.

Loved our stay; home was really large and our party of 6 adults and 8 kids (all 7 and under) had plenty of room! Joseph was extremely responsive and a wonderful host.

Joseph was a wonderful host. We stay at a lot of VRBOs and he had all of the basics covered and more! From the pictures we thought it might be smaller than what we were looking for, but it was so much space!! And beautifully renovated, keeping wonderful details yet updgrading to beautiful and functional spaces. A block from the beach - and the best kept secret beach, not too crowded - just right. It seemed like we would say, "is there a lighter for the fire pit" turn around and it was there on the wall. You could tell he put a lot of care into making sure his guests are comfortable and that his home was maintained well. Thanks so much to you Joseph - it was everything I could do to wrap up work and get away and we had a wonderful week of family dinners at the big table - and cookouts out back. All the heart really needed. My cousins up there may want to talk about a Thanksgiving week - it truly is a great location and set up fo r it!

The house worked very well for our large family group. It is newly renovated and everything was very comfortable. The location is wonderful.

Wonderful, expansive house, perfect for our large extended family and in a fantastic location, walking distance to the beach and harbor!

The house is very large, allowing everyone to have space. The 7 bedrooms have beds for 1, 2, or 4 guests, making room assignments very flexible. The 4 bathrooms are well placed, and include 2 tubs, great for kids. The dining room table easily fits 17 people and the kitchen is well stocked. The 3 other gathering areas allow people to spread out, but be together when they want. There are books, toys, and games for all ages. The yard is a nice size, and again well stocked with outdoor furniture, activities, a grill, and a fire pit. It is a very easy walk to the close beach, a perfect place for children, with sand and small waves. It is an easy and pretty walk to the Wiggly Bridge, starting down the street opposite the house. There are other walks in the area. There is a cluster of small stores about 1/2 mile away, and a large grocery store a bit over a mile away. The street does have very polite traffic during the day, but it dies down in the evening. I would try to get this house the next time I go to York with a large group.

Fantastic spot in York Harbor to relax and enjoy the nearby attractions. The home is clean, spacious and has many amenities for guests of all ages. Highly recommend for a family vacation. Jim and Leslie F

Beautiful home with charm and modern conveniences. Layout perfect for large families with lots of gathering space plus privacy. Well stocked with cleaning products, towels, beach towels, etc. Lots to do in area and great beach within easy walking distance. The only note I would add is that the house is located on the main road. The noise was not a problem, but worthy of note if you have small children.

Home was great for the 14 of us that took the trip to Maine. Clean and great location. Joseph was great with questions before and during our stay.

What a slice of heaven!! Perfect location for beaches, restaurants and fabulous walks! House had everything we needed! We loved our stay!!!

We had a wonderful time in Maine. The house is beautifully renovated on the inside. Short walks to beach, restaurants and the harbor/wobbly bridge. Great location for an active family. Kitchenware was beautiful and new. Bedding was great. Would definitely recommend to another large family.

This home was a great find! It accommodated our family group of 17 with no problem. The kitchen and dining table were large and allowed everyone to be together for meals and games! Very clean home with comfortable bedding and it was well stocked for cooking and dining. Loved that there was a history with the house and the renovation was very well done. Joseph responded to my questions promptly and was helpful. Thank you!This was our first visit to York but won’t be the last! Don’t hesitate to try the “Telegraph House”.

The house is beautiful and really great for a large group to spread out in. We were having a celebration of our book group's 10th anniversary and our requirements were enough space for everyone to sleep, but also a large dining table and enough space in a living room for everyone to congregate, both of which were provided here. Beds and furniture were comfortable and loved the bedding and blankets on the couch. As we went at the end of Oct. we didn't really use the outdoor space except to grill but I'm sure it would be lovely in the summer. There is another house literally right next door so I can see how outdoor noise would be a problem. The driveway was big enough to fit 4-5 cars back to back. There are a few small tweaks that would make it even better - the kitchen is a bit oddly laid out (glasses should be in the cabinet near to the fridge, the silverware isn't where you think it should be, etc.); the upstairs baths really need a curtain or shade as you are right in front of the window looking at the neighbors driveway/house when using the toilet or shower; and we ran out of both toilet paper and dishwasher pods (there was only 1) and didn't find any extra sheets as described in the book. (But to be fair, we didn't contact the owner and just went to the store ourselves. He was very responsive on anything else.) Overall, would highly recommend as a great group gathering space!

Great place for adult weekend get away
