Welcome to The Skolfield Inn!
Room 4 is located at the back of the inn, offering a quiet retreat after all your Portland excursions. A brand new bathroom addition with a custom marble tiled shower rounds out this room. During the warm weather months, enjoy relaxing outside in the gardens and on colder days, cozy up in the communal sitting room downstairs.
The space
Built in 1895, this John Calvin Stevens home still has many original features unique to the famous architect. Commissioned by John T. Skolfield, the single family home was converted to an inn and opened for business in 2019.
We are located in the West End, just over a mile southwest of the Old Port in the historic neighborhood known for its elaborate Victorian-era architecture. Our neighborhood offers you the tranquility of the Western Promenade, an 18-acre park offering scenic views and walking paths, in tandem with a host of popular restaurants and cafes, all within easy walking distance. The neighboring Arts District and Old Port offer plenty to explore on foot, including museums, art galleries, theaters, restaurants, shops, and bars.
With just four guest rooms, our inn offers a peaceful stay, satisfying social guests or those seeking solace. Each private room is furnished with a queen sized bed, white noise machine, and a reading chair (or couch depending on the room).
A Smart TV is provided should guests have their own streaming services. *no cable or streaming service is provided by the host*
Off street parking is available, cannot support larger SUVs/trucks, and being competent in reverse is a plus! For those with large vehicles, street parking is readily available in front of the inn from 4pm-10am for overnight guests (outside these hours are hourly restrictions). A half mile away is residential street parking which is free and has no hourly restrictions for those staying longer than a night.
Other things to note
***WINTER PARKING: If we should have a snow storm, the day after the storm, we are required to remove all cars from the parking area so it can be properly cleaned out. From 9am through 3pm cars must be moved. Closest street parking with no time restrictions is about a half mile away so its a good time to explore the sites downtown or in our neighboring cities!
