Taylor House, an Italianate Victorian residence in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood, was built in 1853 for international merchant George Taylor. It is situated amid similar grand structures and lies less than a block from beautiful Jamaica Pond. We welcome guests to the serenity of our home and the gardens that surround it. While we have used some antique furnishings, our interior is inspired by an extensive contemporary art collection and spiced with thrift shop finds. We take pride in the quality and ingenuity of our breakfasts, hoping to make food one of the highlights of your stay, and can accommodate vegan diets. Interesting restaurants and two forms of public transportation are close by. We are pleased to offer spacious rooms, private baths, queen beds, cable, wifi, and a small business center. “Unique European flavor” Finding this beautiful carefully restored home a short distance from the heart of Boston, made our stay in Boston a memorable one. The Inn is a short distance from Jamaica Pond which has a lovely path around the lake (1.5 miles). Breakfast is a treat with a variety of homemade treats prepared by the Inn Keeper. We were delighted with an unusual frittata which was delicious. There were many choices of items for breakfast, and were not run of the mill fare, which made breakfast healthy and delicious. The beautiful garden adds to the ambiance, and although it was rainy the time we were at the Inn, the landscaping was lovely to look at. We liked the Taylor Inn so much, we are visiting again in June, hopefully it will be sunny.

Cambridge Mass hotel history Irving House has served the traveling public since 1945. In its early years, it was the annex of The Kirkland Inn with offices in the home of the Misho family who operated the inn until 1990. When we purchased the house at 24 Irving Street that July, it was clear from the guests staying there that the Mishos’ warm hospitality was well known and kindly remembered. On their strong foundation, we have been making improvements to the house and our operations in response to the helpful comments of our guests ever since. In 2009 we began the comprehensive renovation of the house, updating the rooms, improving technologies and expanding amenities. Whether you are a long-time guest, or visiting us for the first time, we hope you enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Located only eleven miles from Boston, Mary Van's "This Old House" Bed and Breakfast remains nestled in one of Boston's most beautiful and historical suburbs. The Inn is two blocks from the scenic Minuteman Bikeway and only minutes from Lexington's historic museums and parks. Guests enjoy easy access to the best of two worlds with the comforting charm of peaceful Lexington along with the cosmopolitan life of vibrant Boston. Whether you are an independent city explorer or just want to enjoy the tranquility of a charming historic town, our doors are always open to welcome you! This Old House The home's addition was the featured project on the television series, This Old House, and lasted through all twenty-six episodes of the season. The spring of 1988 saw us joining up with homeowners Mary Van and Jim Sinek to build an addition onto their home in Lexington, Massachusetts. The project became known as the "B&B job," since one major component was adding three extra bedrooms and baths for the Sineks to rent out as bed-and-breakfast accommodations. Another crucial aspect was creating an in-law's suite for Mary Van's elderly mother, complete with handicapped-accessible bedroom and bath. When Jim's employer relocated the couple to Massachusetts from Rochester, New York, they found that real estate prices in the metropolitan Boston area had "gone through the roof", even for modest homes. Jim, an engineer, and Mary-Van, a veteran do-it-yourselfer, purchased the house with the goal of making the housing help to pay for itself by renting out one unit (or converting it into a condominium) and generating additional income from the bed-and-breakfast operation. The house they bought, built in 1909, was a well-kept, wood-frame, side-by-side two-family residence on a generous corner lot. Designer Jock Gifford of Design Associates drew up the addition in a style sympathetic to the existing building; its 2,400 square feet doubled the existing square-footage of one of the house's units. Room Rates Master is $120 per night total charge. The other room is $110 per night total charge Travelers are always looking for memorable and relaxing experiences. Let’s discover more through the words of our innkeepers. Many thanks to Mary Van Sinek for sharing her own secrets!
