Circa 1869. Feel warmly welcomed to this restored three-story Victorian home gracing the historic and prestigious Western Promenade neighborhood of Portland, Maine. The quiet, tree-lined residential street features wonderful Painted Ladies and is close to the center of downtown for easy access. Walk to the Portland Museum of Art, Performing Arts Center, the Maine Medical Center as well as the business district, shops and restaurants, the ferry terminal and cobbled Old Port Area. Spacious guest rooms on the second and third floors boast inviting furnishings and décor. Many feature deep soaking tubs and other pampering amenities. After a delicious breakfast take a book to read while relaxing in the English garden in the back. There are many local attractions and activities to experience nearby and interesting day trips to take throughout midcoast Maine.

I travel a great deal in my work, and I have stayed in many fine places, all of which have one thing in common; the people who operate them. If you ever find yourself in Portland, I can't think of anyone else you'd rather stay with than the Inn on Carleton!

Upon entering the Inn we new we made the right choice. Buddy greeted us at the front door with a smile and the whole weekend could not have been any better. The breakfast were excellent. And the basket of snacks out all day were a nice treat . And always warm cookies after dinner were waiting. We will return for sure. We can't wait to try the other guest rooms.
