About this house rental
“I'm so ready to put my feet up! Thank you for giving me a place to do so with my kids…we are happy to be here at The Rum Runner House again!” -- A returning Phillips Academy parent from afar.
Rum Runner House is a family-oriented property close to Phillips Academy, Brooks School, Pike School and Merrimack College. The home makes it possible to spend quality time with your student and his/her friends during your visit in a very comfortable & flexible manner. Well-stocked with HDTV, classic books & board games to suit a range of tastes, on-site recreational choices also include table tennis, basketball, street hockey, driveway soccer, bocce and Frisbee, baseball & football toss.
Enjoy getting to know your child's friends over a ping pong game, or by sharing nicely grilled steaks out on the fenced-in, brick patio. Have the freedom to spoil them by cooking up favorite family recipes that brings the group as close to your home kitchen as is possible. With the large amount of space, you can arrange with the Academy to welcome your student and friends to spend the night off-campus in 'your home away from home' -- a treat that is especially treasured by students who are themselves a long way from their own families.
In addition, The Rum Runner House has become a favorite venue of corporate managers looking for an excellent extended stay property for their valued employees. Such guests have included the New England headquarters of a Presidential campaign, financial executives and performance artisans.

8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
Host was wonderful. House was clean and comfortable.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Host did a good job of telling us about the features of the house at check in
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Our VRBO host communicated very well and was kind enough to accommodate our late check-in. When we arrived, there were thoughtful touches like coffee, creamer, and snacks waiting for us. The house itself was really cute with a charming, old-fashioned vibe.The only negative was that the sheets and pillowcases didn’t smell freshly laundered — not exactly dirty, but they had a “people” scent, like when you open an older person’s closet. It wasn’t a major problem, but I ended up putting a towel over my pillowcase and didn’t use the comforter.Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I appreciated that our host even checked in on us during the visit — a really nice gesture!
6 / 10Average·Apr 2024
Shades were ripped and towels were all stained. Host graciously met us at start of stay and left snacks for us. Comfortable beds.
