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.

We had a wonderful stay at the Harvard House! It was very clean and welcoming. Robert was a great communicator. Wish we would have had more time to explore the area.

This property provided a lovely backdrop for preparation for our daughter’s wedding. It allowed us as the parents of the bride to host our whole immediate family overnight and other out of town guests during the day, as we would have done had we had our own home in the area. On Thursday evening following the rehearsal, we gathered for an informal pizza dinner on the „green” at Harvard House with friends and family members. Friday morning we turned the diningroom into a hair and makeup salon for the bridal party, mothers, and bride. After makeup, both bride and groom dressed at the Harvard House in different areas and then had their „first look” in the garden there. The grounds provided an idyllic setting for photos! Saturday morning, we hosted a bagel breakfast, again on the „green”, for out-of-town guests before they got on the road. The property was perfect and the host was very gracious.

Harvard House was a perfect location for my family while we were in Boston for a large family event. Everyone had a comfortable bed in their own room and there was enough space for groups to gather. I especially appreciated that there were more than enough plates, the pots were large enough to cook for a croud, there were extra linens (sheets, blankets etc) in each room and plenty of towels in the baths. Robert was a very accomodating host as well.

Just a perfect place to stay. We have two families, different generations, coming from lots of places. Easy to get food, easy to serve food, and they had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here next time we do this.
