Harvard House Host Your 2025 Family Gathering In Boston at This Beautiful Venue

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

Welcome to Harvard House. My name is Robert my wife's name is Tao and it its my greatest pleasure to introduce you to Harvard House.


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

We see our mission as not just renting you a beautiful upscale place to stay with all the amenities, but a wonderful gathering place, for you, your family, friends, and colleagues

While we all chase after our individual goals, what it is that makes us human is that we are all "Creatures of Conviviality," who enjoy gathering as a small group

We have one goal in mind whether your purpose in holding the gathering is a Small Wedding, Baby Shower, Graduation Party, Team Building Session, Making A TV Video, or just a great dinner and a nice drink

Its to do everything possible to create an atmosphere that not only delivers "Moments of camaraderie" with people who truly matter in your life, but "Moments of Happiness."

You can Cook Together, Break Bread Together Talk together, and Think Together in ways that would never happen at other venues that a pricier and less personal

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

The House can easily accommodate ten or more over night guests and parties of 18 people or over. The dining room with Turkish lights and kitchen are not only stylish with beautiful curtains and furnishing but totally up to date and completely equipped

Harvard House, both the house itself and the surrounding 20 acre secluded property ISN'T PERFECT but it does have what the Chinese call "Feng Shui," amazingly good vibes that are powerful but subtle.

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!"

More Details . . .

The beautiful "upscale" House and landscaping make it an aspirational property"-- the kind of place a lot of people would like to live
