    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!

    A wonderful discovery

    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.

    A quiet retreat; wonderful setting.

    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.

    Everything your looking for if you want a quiet getaway!

    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

    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.
