Prospect Place Bed & Breakfast, Boston

Conveniently located in the center of Cambridge, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University are only a short walk away, and metropolitan Boston just across the river. The subway and bus lines are just a few minutes from our front door.

Prospect Place was owned by the same family for over one-hundred years until 1994, when we purchased the home and began a period restoration...

The house is eclectically furnished in wonderful antiques and oriental rugs on top of the original wood floors. Premium faux finishes of subtle multi-colored wall glazes add a unique flavor to the décor, while other rooms have authentic reproductions of period wallpapers.

The spacious Parlor/Music Room has exciting Victorian wallpaper featuring pink ribbons and yellow urns on a dark blue background. There are two century-old grand pianos, sitting areas filled with daily newspapers and current magazines on a variety of subjects. The arched-top windows are covered with lace curtains made on original Victorian looms in Scotland.

A full breakfast is served in our Victorian dining room which contains a lovely window seat full of arched top windows, a marble fireplace, and the early antique wallpaper from the turn of the last century.
A variety of sumptuous pastries, breads, fresh fruit bowls, juices, coffee, tea or cocoa, as well as eggs in a variety of styles, are served on china, linen and silver each morning.
