Bonnie and Bill are 2 of the most amazing people we have ever met. They are very accomodating and caring. We've visited their bed and breakfast multiple times and have always had a fantastic stay. The grounds are well kept and maintained as is the entire house. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, a place where you deffinitely want to return to. The breakfasts are delicious and homemade and served in a professional manner. Visiting with them is like visiting with family. -Bill & Cathy D'A

I travel to York just once a year and love staying here. Bill and Bonnie provide everything for a perfect stay. Thanks so much!
5 out of 5A little "slice of heaven" in Maine.
July 01, 2012
We spent out honeymoon here and we both agreed that we have never felt so pampered in a B&B as we felt here. The food was excellent and imaginative. The hosts were always glad to meet any special food needs. One day we enjoyed a delicious omelet made with lactose-free cheese; fruit cups with fresh mint (yummy), and wonderful pastries each morning. Our bedroom was bright and so beautiful. Rooms were sparkling clean. The common rooms were fun to be in, especially the "upper room" with its library, DVDs and music. The house itself is charming in every detail with flowered gardens, reminding me of a european cottage. The hosts were friendly and helpful in any way we needed, and only to happy to chat. All in all, I can't wait for the day when we can return. York beach was no more than 10 minutes away, and there many beautiful places to walk within just a few minutes drive of the Inn. We could not have begun our marriage in a nicer setting.

The Morning Glory Inn is an 11, and once you discover it, you will return. Often. Proprietors Bonnie and Bill have nurtured the inn and grounds into a gorgeous, picturesque, quaint, peaceful paradise amongst the flowers and trees just inland from the Maine coastline and tidal marshes. The location allows it to be calm and cool yet is within bicycle distance of the historic harbor town. The inn is spacious with plenty of common areas for relaxation - the original living room is great for lounging by the fire on chilly or rainy days; the main gathering room is another super comfy lounging area with a bar and wood stove; the library in the loft provides a hideaway; and there are several tables on the front patio amid the garden. Each room is unique, but all are so well appointed I believe that Bonnie and Bill must live in each during off season to ensure that each room has all the little touches that make it totally livable! I know because I have stayed in every room at least once - which tells you that I am among their many loyal repeat visitors. Coffee and teas are yours for the pouring all morning, and a tasty feast of fresh local produce and baked goods accompany the hot breakfast. But for as wonderful as the Inn is, Bonnie and Bill are the real treats. They are consummate professionals, yet are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Staying at the Morning Glory Inn is like staying with favorite family that ensure your visit is comfortable while allowing you to go off on your own adventures during the day!

5 out of 5A wonderful discovery
June 28, 2011
A stroke of serendipity! On the spur of the moment we decided to find a B&B in the York, ME area and to our joy we discovered this Inn. We had just one night to stay and luckily they had just one room available, the Sandpiper. A beautiful Inn, with lovely gardens, situated on a quiet street. The accommodations were delightful, breakfast was delicious, and we will definitely be back for a longer stay.
4.6 out of 5A quiet retreat; wonderful setting.
August 03, 2010
A wonderful, wooded setting close to beach; rooms have private deck off them to enjoy; multiple sitting areas in a beautifully beamed home that is very tastefully decorated; Innkeepers are so kind and helpful; we loved the beaches of York and got a chance to kayak on the ocean. Breakfast was very good, and enjoyed brick patio setting next to flowers. Spent two days here and would definately come back.
4.8 out of 5Everything your looking for if you want a quiet getaway!
June 11, 2010
Morning Glory has everything we look for in a B & B. Innkeepers Bill & Bonnie were great and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The grounds are beautiful and I enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy my morning coffee on the porch. Breakfast was tasty, ample parking, quiet surroundings and you felt very much at home. Thanks for a great vacation experience! Nancy & Bob
5 out of 5The Morning Glory in York Maine is a "hidden gem!"
November 22, 2009
Innkeepers, Bonnie and Bill Alstrom have created "a hidden yet sparkling B&B jewel" at their lovely bed & breakfast, The Morning Glory Inn in York, Maine. Even the journey to this wonderful bed & breakfast is memorable. As you turn off Route 1A and travel onto the beautifully winding Organaug Road you travel under a canopy of aged hardwood trees and pass through the York Golf and Tennis Club (Maine’s oldest country club) and across the quaint Sewall Bridge – looking for the two stone pillars that mark the entrance of The Morning Glory. Yet York Harbor is only ½ mile and a world away from the inn’s tranquil setting. The Morning Glory is an amazingly comfortable retreat along Maine’s Southern coast. All three accommodations (“The Sandpiper,” Rachel’s Suite” and “The Heron”) in this newly renovated Pre-Revolutionary, post and beam cottage home are equally luxurious. Each ocean bird-themed suite has its own private deck overlooking lush forest and manicured gardens. We stayed in “The Heron” suite and loved it! It is large and spacious with a walk-in closet in the middle. The newly remodeled bathroom is as wonderful as described on the inn’s website. You will simply adore the tile, glass and river rock dual-headed shower. Innekeepers Bill and Bonnie act as your own “in-house concierge” and will plan personally-selected day itineraries of the immediate York area and surrounding Southern coast of Maine. This inn property should be featured in Coastal Living, Country Living and Country Home magazines. Not only does the beautiful woodland setting take your breath away, but, the immaculate and charming B&B, complimented by the warm hospitality of the Bonnie and Bill, made The Morning Glory Inn our favorite new bed and breakfast find of our 2009 Maine vacation.
