View from the Viewpoint Hotel, York, Maine

Viewpoint Hotel

(York, Maine)

There is something soothing about the ocean.  The smell of salt in the air, the breeze blowing on your skin, and the calming sound of waves crashing on the shore makes you feel present. The coast is my favorite place to visit when in Maine.  I couldn’t think of a better place to escape before the madness of end-of-school-year activities. The Viewpoint Hotel is a stunning little piece of paradise with unimaginable views. I decided to bring my high school daughter along with me and it was the perfect place for us to relax and recharge.

Where do you fly in?

The best place to fly in is Portland International Jetport (PWM).

You will probably find a cheaper flight at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT)

You can also fly in to Portsmouth International Airport at Pease (PSM / KPSM)

First impression/ check-in

The hotel texts you the code to your room so you can let yourself in when you get there.  My daughter’s first impression was it didn’t feel like a hotel, but more like a rental home. It was so comfortable and homey that we immediately relaxed.

Let me show you around our suite.

 We stayed in room 102, a

1 Bedroom Open Loft Suite

We were so impressed with the size of the suite… 1,022 square feet!  The cathedral ceilings made it feel even larger. The room was decorated with a modern coastal feel, without overdoing it.  They incorporated hints of nature like wooden side tables, artificial plants, sponges, and succulents.


There is a large living room/dining room area with a queen sofa bed, large coffee table, and lots of pillows and decorations.

Living room of the Viewpoint Hotel, York, Maine

The gas fireplace gave the room a cozy feel and I love the wooden shelves. It made it feel like we were at a friend’s house instead of a hotel.

Peek at the kitchen

You know I love to have breakfast in my room when I’m on vacation. There’s something special about breakfast in bed in cozy pj’s.  This suite had everything you’d need to make a delicious meal. It has a refrigerator/freezer, Keurig coffee maker, electric cooktop, convection/microwave oven, toaster, and dishwasher. There was also cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. There is a comfortable dining area with seating for 4.

Kitchen of the Viewpoint Hotel, York, Maine

There was a desk area that can be used as a work station, or as a bar. How great is this chair?

Half bathroom

There is also an adorable half bathroom on the first floor.

Get ready for this surprise!

Look… a washing machine and a dryer! What a treat to be able to wash your clothes right in your room.  This is wonderful when you’re traveling as a family, or even solo because it allows you to pack lighter. They even provide an iron and ironing board.

Let’s head upstairs to the bedroom

The bedroom had a very firm king bed and plenty of pillows. The crisp white bedding, white walls, and wood accents gave the room a clean, bright vibe.

The window provided a frame for Hubble Light House.

There is a full bathroom up here!

The bathroom has an amazing shower with white subway tiles and a tub. They provide toiletries, a blow dryer, and cozy towels.

Now let’s take a look outside…

We’ve got to take about THIS VIEW!

view from the Viewpoint Hotel, York, Maine

Our suite had a large covered porch overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and Nubble Lighthouse. There were 2 chairs and a table, making it the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee or a glass of wine at sunset.

Pool

The hotel has a large outdoor pool with a gorgeous view of the majestic Nubble Lighthouse.  The pool is saltwater and heated.  I can imagine how amazing it would be to take a dip while looking out at these gorgeous surroundings.

Yard

The property around the hotel is filled with lovely spots to enjoy some time outdoors. One of my favorite spots are the view from these Adirondack chairs.

I also love this area where you can lie back on these chaise loungers and take in all the beauty.

There is lots of space to play lawn games or have a picnic.

Outdoor area of the Viewpoint Hotel, York, Maine

The hotel is stunning and the landscape and stonework reflects the rugged coast of Maine.
