An historic Cambridge bed and breakfast

Step back into another era as you walk through the doors of our lovely and historic Italianate Victorian bed and breakfast in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This historic home has been meticulously and lovingly restored to its original glory. Period details abound, from classic archways to marble fireplaces and cut-glass windows. The inn is elegantly, yet comfortably, furnished with eclectic antiques, original fine art, oriental rugs, and authentic lace curtains made on 19th century looms in Scotland. The inn’s atmosphere is refined and tasteful without being pretentious.

Enjoy a delicious and varied breakfast in our special Victorian dining room.

A full breakfast of sumptuous pastries, fresh baked bread, fresh fruit, juices, hot coffee, tea, or cocoa, as well as eggs or egg entrées, are served on china, linen, and silver each morning.
