Skolfield Inn | Parking | Self-check-in | Garden 1

Welcome to The Skolfield Inn! ROOM 1: This north east corner room gets plenty of morning light through its beautiful bay window (although, should you choose to sleep in, with our blackout shades you won't even know the sun has risen!). The attached private bath is extremely small, but what it lacks in space it makes up for in style. This room also comes with one off street parking spot (cannot support larger SUVs/trucks).

Neighborhood

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.

Guest Access

Good to know

Built in 1895, this John Calvin Stevens' designed 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. With just four guest rooms, our inn offers a peaceful stay, satisfying social guests or those seeking solace. Your 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 Details 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! The host will message through the Airbnb website/app the day of snow removal and any car left in the parking area will be charged a $100 fee***

Great place! Have stayed here a few times and it’s always so nice. Very clean and cozy. Parking is great since Portland is such a walkable place. Will definitely plan to stay here again when we return to Portland.

We always like staying w Katrina. She takes good care of her places and she is always available and friendly. The Skolfield is a lovely old home and has a nice living/dining area downstairs and a well stocked kitchen area.

Great place; it was cozy, quiet, and clean and exactly what we needed for a restful weekend! Katrina was friendly and helpful but also with a light touch so we could enjoy our trip. Not our first visit to Portland but I have to say we also enjoyed the homemade guide book in the room, lots of great stuff in there too even if you've visited a few times. Would definitely stay again!
