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.

Guest Reviews:

"Wow, you have a beautiful house!"

"What a wonderful setting!"

"This place worked great for our team."

"Thanks for sharing your retreat!"

Harvard House is perfectly located for nearby graduations (Harvard, MIT, Brandeis, Bentley), sports events (Boston Marathon, Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins),

There are great walking trails and other nearby estates with great architecture to visit

Tao and I are here to ensure your group has a memorable and meaningful experience. If there’s anything we can help with, don’t hesitate to ask.
Located in Piety Corner, a neighborhood in Waltham, this vacation home is in a rural area and on a river. Harvard Square and Faneuil Hall Marketplace are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's popular attractions can visit Museum of Science and New England Aquarium. Looking to enjoy an event or a game? See what's going on at Fenway Park or TD Garden. Spend some time exploring the area's activities, including whale-watching.
