- "A good place to stay after along exploring the area , nice quiet and peaceful " - "Great Host and clean property" - "Gary was an exceptional host! Thanks!" - "I stayed at Stillwater for 5 nights while on a fall photo excursion and loved the place. It sits up on a hill a couple of hundred yards from the very scenic Narraguagus River, which is bordered by the Sunset hiking trail. I stayed in Room 3 upstairs and was very pleased with the room. It had a nice chair for reading, a spacious closet, and two nice windows to add lots of natural light. Both my room and the shared bathroom across the hall were very clean and uncluttered. Downstairs, the shared kitchen was also extremely clean and well-supplied. There is a Kurig coffee machine available in the kitchen 24/7, a full-sized refrigerator dedicated to use by guests, an extra den for guests to lounge in and watch the large TV, and an extra half-bath downstairs in case the upstairs bath is in use. The owner, Gary, is super nice and pays attention to details to make his guests comfortable. Stillwater is very close to the Schoodic pensula and other very scenic coastal areas that provided excellent photography opportunities. I plan to return with my friends and family to enjoy this beautiful area of Maine."

Location, Location, Location! Welcome to The Inn at Park Spring! Formerly the Park Spring Bed & Breakfast, we dropped the breakfast to serve Vrbo guests near and far as a boutique hotel.
ROOM 6: With your own private guest entrance at the back of the building, this room offers a quiet retreat in the heart of Portland. One off street parking spot is offered, only one block away from the inn.
The space:
This historic home was built in the early 1800s and has served many purposes. What started as a single family home turned into an antique store, then converted to a rooming house, morphed into a bed and breakfast in the 1980's, and dropped the breakfast to serve VRBO guests near and far.
The location of the Inn at Park Spring cannot be beat. We are located downtown, just a half mile walk to the center of the Old Port. Our neighborhood offers you a central spot located in the heart of the arts district, on the edge of the tranquil west end neighborhood, and just a stones throw to museums, art galleries, theaters, restaurants, shops, and bars.
With just six guest rooms, our inn offers a peaceful stay, satisfying social guests or those seeking solace. Each private room, with private ensuite bath, is furnished with a queen sized bed, white noise machine, a reading chair (or couch depending on the room), and a mini fridge.
A Smart TV is provided should guests have their own streaming services. *no cable or streaming service is provided by the host*
Other things to note:
While the room has its own private entrance, the fenced in gravel courtyard is used as a passthrough by the resident innkeeper. You may see them in passing as they make their way to their entrance.
- "It was clean and quaint — located close to all the spots we wanted to go. 10 minute walk or $7 Uber ride. We will definitely stay again, thank you!" - "Would highly recommend this place because it was very clean, plus it was in walking distance to so much of Portland. An added bonus was the extensive guide to Portland (especially the restaurants) that the owner prepared. Communication with her was good. Thank you!" - "The apartment was exactly as advertised and sparkling clean! Parking and check in were a breeze thanks to the host’s excellent communication. We especially enjoyed the ‘behind the fence’ privacy of Unit 6 and appreciated the available air conditioning as it got a bit warm in Portland during the stay. The location is awesome and a short walk to all the best of downtown Portland…no car was needed for the entire visit! I highly recommend this property."
