HARVARD HOUSE: THE GATHERING PLACE--Beautiful House, Spectacular Property

Welcome to Harvard House. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself, my wife Tao and Harvard House

We think of ourselves as not just hosting guests by renting a property but by providing guests a venue guarantees a very meaningful experience. Warm regards. Robert and Tao

So here's a description of Havard House I wrote to help you and your famiy imagine what it would be like to stay here.

Beautiful Victorian House, upscale and updated 15 - 20 min on 20 secluded acres, 15-20 Min from Boston

Its the perfect venue to host your 2024 Family gatherings
"micro" weddings,, team meetings, or photoshoots.

Harvard House has what the Chinese call "Feng Shui," amazingly good vibes that are powerful but subtle.

Harvard House will return you to your authentic self, kick back and relax help you restore the ties, that bind with family, friends, or colleagues

The house can be reserved for any special event at a reasonable fee and can sleep up to ten people

I guarantee it will give you a "An All Round Better Experience than you would ever have at a Marriot, Hilton or even the Ritz

Plus, even though it's not cheap, it's much more affordable than renting a bunch of hotel rooms

The property is located just 15 minutes from Harvard Square, 25 minutes from downtown Boston.

It's located on 20 acres of secluded woodlands on the Waltham - Lexington border.

The most frequent comments we get from guests are: "Wow you have a beautiful house." "What a wonderful setting." " This place worked great for us for out team." "Thanks for sharing your retreat!"

Brought 8 family members into Boston for a college graduation. The house was cozy and we like the sitting areas outside. The house was big enough for privacy too. It was an easy drive in from the airport and also allowed good access to campus. My family really enjoyed the charm of the home and it will be a part of the memory of the weekend.

This was an ideal place to stay for a 3-day weekend visit. The property is magnificent. The house, though old, is well maintained and very comfortable. The central location makes it easy to access attractions in the area

We returned to the Harvard House and had another terrific stay. Can’t say enough about the well-equipped kitchen if you are doing serious cooking. And, for a large group, the house provides an opportunity to spread out – the dining room (including a sizeable table that can seat a large group), spacious living room, and club room (with a cocktail table large enough for a 1000-piece puzzle). We also appreciate the excellent communication from the host.

I wish we had more time to enjoy the wonderful property and house, but we were in Boston for business. A clean lovely old house with ample towels, huge bathrooms and comfortable beds. Located near many convenient Waltham restaurants and stores, and not to far from Boston/Cambridge. We ate at Taqueria Mexico twice - Excellent food and Margaritas. Even though the name pains this Old Blue, we will try to book Harvard House again for next year. Thanks for a great stay.

We used this beautiful old house as a base for our family the 4 days that included our son’s wedding. It worked out perfectly. We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch with the fall color, totally hidden from the rest of the world. Kitchen has tons of herbs and spices for cooking and some appliances you don’t often see, like a double air fryer and an espresso machine. Comfortable beds, lots of places for gathering to socialize. Lots of off street parking. Very unusual property. Would stay again.

Harvard House is a gorgeous property. It’s 30 acres of open forrest with lots of space between to find new areas and topography to explore - such a rare treat, each day. The approach to the house, and the grounds closer to it are beautiful and well attended, while feeling very natural to the setting. There are also lovely out door seating areas to take full advantage of this setting. The house is unique, grand, but also a place to feel at ease, in a richly historic setting. The range of art & collections throughout the house are generous to see so close, and to sit with through our stay. The bathrooms are renovated, yet feel still back in, maybe the deco era. The kitchen is made for cooks, everything just where you want and need it to be, because this is a place you want to extend time to gather together. The beds are so comfortable, linens & towels presented like a top B&B. Robert is also very reachable, communicative & helpful. This spot does also have great potential for micro-weddings & retreats as Robert’s advertising. I think as this venue intention becomes more cultivated, this will be fulfilled more in years to come. I look forward to seeing how this blossoms at Harvard House, does with the because they’ve done such wonderful things with this one of a kid d spot thus far.
