I've booked multiple vrbo and other rental properties both for business, pleasure and events. This Property was by far the best experience I have had to date! The Property was beautiful! The staff was so accommodating. And the host Robert was amazing. We hosted a bridal shower for 20 prople on the Property on Saturday . And prepped on Friday. Upon arrival Robert and his staff were on site and ready to great me. They were completing finishing touches to make sure the landscaping was perfect. I didn't mind that they were still there because they allowed me to arrive over 2 hours early to select the perfect spot to set up our tent. The house has the perfect amount of privacy. Inside the house the kitchen was perfect for us to prep all of our food and our drinks! There were two VERY clean restrooms for our guests to use. Several bedrooms for anyone spending the night. And no shortage of restrooms. The location of the house is also perfect. There is a florist 8 mins away! The also have balloons. There is a market about 5 mins away. A drug store near by. Everything you need is near by. Even though the property is close to everything you would never guess because you can't hear or see any traffic from the house!! I was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough parking for all of our guests. But the property actually has soooo much parking. We probably had about 10 cars parked comfortably. Robert was available and communicating with me weeks before the event. He sent pictures of the property, and even assisted in recommending rental companies to us. The only thing I wish is that we could have stayed longer!!! I would 1000% book the house again without question.

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.

As the venue for the recuring reunion of 12 of my closest college chums, the charm and features of Harvard House contributed to the best experience we've ever had. I can't exaggerate the thoughtfulness that Robert, the owner, has invested into the amenities and beauty of the place. If your event is important, this is the place to have it.

We brought 3 generations into one house and there was something for everyone. A wonderful covered deck for talking. Great grounds for kids to play and explore. It was truly an oasis. The owner Robert could not have been more charming. We loved this home away from home.

This is an amazing property! We stayed with my my family (my wife, my son and myself); by brother’s family (3 including a 4 year old) and our mom. There was more than enough room, and all of the bedrooms were great! The outdoor spaces are ideal for socializing with larger groups too. There is a train in the center of the town that we took to Boston a few times. It’s a 20 minute train ride which worked really well for us with the kids. The property owner, Robert, is very patient and an easy person to work with in general. He really loved this place and it shows. I’d highly recommend this property if you have a large group!

Beautifully decorated home on large private property. Quiet and peaceful. Close to town and historic sites. Owner is a fascinating man who made check in and departure easy and quick and was fun to converse with about whatever interests you may have. Price is great too.
