Harvard House: Make Your 2025 Family Gathering Unforgettable"
HARVARD HOUSE: THE GATHERING PLACE — Beautiful Home. Spectacular Property. Magical Experience
My name is Robert Hargrove. Booking Harvard House for a Family Gathering is not just an alternative to staying in a hotel. It's a cure for today's Loneliness Epidemic.
At Harvard House, you connect with the people who you really care about and create shared experiences—things no Zoom call, birthday text, or TikTok video can ever give you
Welcome to Harvard House! My name is Robert, and my wife’s name is Tao. It’s our greatest pleasure to share this special place with you.
This Stylish Updated Victorian on 20 Secluded Acres — just approx 25 - 30 minutes from Boston.
Ideal for Small Weddings, Bridal Showers, Milestone Birthday Parties, Remembrance Celebrations, Team Building, and Photoshoots
What Our Guests Say:
"Our wedding at Harvard House was an unforgettable experience."
"We had a beautiful remembrance celebration that brought the whole family together."
"The team truly came together, aligned on objectives, and created a rallying momentum."
While we all pursue individual goals in life, what makes us human is our shared nature as "Creatures of Conviviality," thriving in the joy of gathering together.
Our mission goes beyond simply providing a well-maintained place to stay with all the amenities. We strive to offer a unique gathering spot for you, your family, friends, and colleagues.
We have one goal in mind . . . It's to do everything possible to create an atmosphere that not only delivers "moments of camaraderie" with people who truly matter in your life, but also "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 are pricier and less personal.
An All-Around Better Experience than You’ll Find at a Marriott, Hilton, or Even the Ritz.
Harvard House is a beautiful home that easily accommodates 10+ overnight guests and groups of 18-25. (More for Weddings)
It’s nestled on 20 acres of secluded woodlands on the Waltham-Lexington border, offering a peaceful retreat away from the city bustle.
Located just 20 minutes from Harvard Square and 30 minutes from downtown Boston, and away from the city bustle.
It has what the Chinese call “Feng Shui”—subtle yet powerful good vibes that create an ideal setting for reconnecting with family, friends, and colleagues.

Harvard House was a perfect location for my family while we were in Boston for a large family event. Everyone had a comfortable bed in their own room and there was enough space for groups to gather. I especially appreciated that there were more than enough plates, the pots were large enough to cook for a croud, there were extra linens (sheets, blankets etc) in each room and plenty of towels in the baths. Robert was a very accomodating host as well.

Great gathering space
Our group had a very good time staying at the Harvard House. The host was very communicative and good to work with. There are many good areas for gathering and spending time with friends and family, both inside and out. The secluded nature of the property was a benefit as well. Would stay there again.

Fabulous House For a Family or Group Gathering
Once again, we are so appreciative of all the comfortable first-floor spaces to spread out as a family. The kitchen is equipped to produce a fully home-prepared feast—all the utensils, pots, pans, knives, and dishes you might need. The dining room table can comfortably accommodate a very large group. Cozy beds, extra blankets as needed, and loads of towels. The host is very communicative and caring.

Beautiful Boston Adjacent Home
We had a lovely Galloween getaway with my 5best friends and 1.5 year old son this October. The house and property are beautiful. It was a perfect setting for pumpkin carving, sipping mulled wine, and lazy morning strolls. Robert was so helpful in getting us set up since we arrived quite late on the day of check in. He answered all our questions and made check out a stress free process.

Graduation 2024
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.

Another Terrific Stay
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.

Yalie at the Harvard House
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.

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.

Family of the Bride Wedding Party
This property provided a lovely backdrop for preparation for our daughter’s wedding. It allowed us as the parents of the bride to host our whole immediate family overnight and other out of town guests during the day, as we would have done had we had our own home in the area. On Thursday evening following the rehearsal, we gathered for an informal pizza dinner on the „green” at Harvard House with friends and family members. Friday morning we turned the diningroom into a hair and makeup salon for the bridal party, mothers, and bride. After makeup, both bride and groom dressed at the Harvard House in different areas and then had their „first look” in the garden there. The grounds provided an idyllic setting for photos! Saturday morning, we hosted a bagel breakfast, again on the „green”, for out-of-town guests before they got on the road. The property was perfect and the host was very gracious.

Beautiful place
The house and gardens were lovely and we had plenty of room for our large family. We especially enjoyed the front porch where we could watch deer, wild turkeys, and rabbits.
Boston is easily accessible, about 20 minutes, and we enjoyed a day in Plymouth and half day trips to Concord/Lexington and Salem, all short drives.
The host was very helpful with suggestions for things to do, restaurants and grocery stores. He was available by text, phone and email.
I highly recommend this rental and we would love to return.

6BR house Secluded by woods in middle of Waltham!
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.

An amazing house inside and out!
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!

Graduation Weekend
The "Harvard House" was amazing. It was very spacious and the outdoor setting was fantastic. We had wonderful weather over the weekend and were able to spend a lot of time on the comfy porch as well as exploring the grounds. We were in town for a graduation from Northeastern University so we had to travel back and forth into the city and this location was perfect easy ride into Boston as well as scenic and peaceful suburban surroundings to relax in. The house it self was beautiful, old and full of wonderful art. I really liked the stain glass window in the living room. I would consider this as an option for renting again if I need the space in the future. We had six adults and one infant and there was plenty of space for everyone to have their own space.

Amazing experience
Harvard House is much more than a place to stay. It’s an experience. Between the expansive grounds, amazing amenities and luxurious property, it is a location where friends and family can hang out, reconnect, forge new bonds, and play!
We chose Harvard House because we needed enough rooms/beds for 8 family members coming into Boston for Emerson College graduation. We also needed a place where we could host a graduation party for about 20 people. Harvard House was bigger than what we needed for sleeping space, and had plenty of room inside and outside for everyone to enjoy drinks, dinner and games. Every one of our guests exclaimed how beautiful the house was. We were surprised how the beautiful architecture, interior design and furnishings can impact the mood and energy of a gather like that.
Our hosts were extremely responsive, available whenever we had a question or needed help with anything.
We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful property
The house is absolutely stunning and in a great location and very private as well. We took our two miniature dachshunds and private walks around the property were delightful. The old beautiful trees around the house attract a lot of different birds. We counted over 12 different species and owls! Beautiful barred and great horned owls! We would have appreciated it, if the owners had removed the different piles of tarps, garden tools and wheel barrows that were spread out throughout the property including at the entrance of the driveway. These piles made the garden and property look untidy and disorganized. We also felt some of the carpets upstairs needed to be professionally cleaned as well as the carpet that covers the stairs. Lastly, it would have been helpful to have hooks and cabinets for clothes and toiletries in the bathroom upstairs.

Patricia thank you for your review. We felt truly honored to have you and Charlie stay with us given what great people you are and some common company heritage from the great game of business.
Its amazing for a host what guests notice that you dont notice, I loved your comments about "the stunning house" and " The Long Horned owls. The tarps you mentioned giving the property an untidy look are there to place over the 250-yard-long gravel driveway in the event of a heavy tropical storm force downpour which can cause a washout, and days of backbreaking work with a shovel rake and wheelbarrow.
We will attend to your comments about some of the carpets within the next 48 hours, as well as place some additional hooks and toiletries upstairs
Thank you for your stay. Robert and Tao
