Great older house with all amenities and really walkable to downtown Portland. We really enjoyed walking our dog around downtown and the harbor path on the East side of Portland. Great weekend.

We take pride in creating a space that feels both comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with the little details we appreciate when we travel ourselves.

We’re always happy to share recommendations, whether it’s restaurants, coffee shops, or things to do around town, and we aim to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible from start to finish.

Why they chose this property

The West End is one of Portland’s most charming and historic neighborhoods. It offers a quieter, residential feel while still being just a short walk to the Old Port, waterfront, restaurants, and shops.

We love that you can step outside and explore the city on foot, then return to a more relaxed, neighborhood setting. It’s the perfect balance of convenience and comfort.

What makes this property unique

This home blends historic character with modern comfort in a way that’s hard to find. Built in 1875, it features original wood floors and classic New England charm, paired with thoughtful updates like a fully equipped kitchen, fast WiFi, and comfortable, high-quality bedding.

The layout offers flexibility with a main-floor bedroom and bath, along with a cozy second-floor loft-style space that includes an additional bedroom and dedicated workspace. Guests also enjoy partial harbor views and a private fenced yard, which adds a sense of space and privacy that’s rare this close to downtown.
