Stay with $20 Daily Dining Credit at York Harbor Inn in Coastal Maine. Dates Available into January.: Colonial-Style Inns Steps from Atlantic Ocean In 1732, York Harbor Inns proprietor valued a nights stay in pence and sent visitors to bed with two rules: no more than five can sleep in one bed, and no boots. After guests turned in, the host would tend to their horses. Today, York Harbor Inn has expanded into a campus of five colonial-style mansions along the Atlantic coast, with a strong sense of its 300-year history. The Main Inns multipaned windows peer over the ocean, as does its onsite restaurant, dubbed 1637. Helmed by noted chef Gerald Bonsey, 1637s gourmet menu spotlights fresh Maine seafood and other unique dishes, from lemon-herb brick-roasted chicken to baked stuffed haddock. From 1637, stairs descend to the Ships Cellar Pub, a multiroom tavern with intricate woodwork resembling a yachts hull. After eating and listening to live music, you can head to the second floor and its elegant Country Inn guest rooms. Here, several luxury rooms also come with fireplaces and jacuzzi spa tubs. Across the lawn, some rooms in the Yorkshire building have partial ocean views.
