Located in Cambridge in the historical district, just two blocks five minutes from Harvard Yard, our 1897 colonial revival house, designed by architect George Fogerty, is noted for its “simplicity of design and crispness of detail.” We have preserved many of its original details. We are just a short “T” ride across the river to Boston.
On a quiet street two blocks from Harvard University, Irving House is close to MIT, and all of the sights in Boston and Cambridge. Our rates include local phone calls, wifi, a hearty continental breakfast, off street parking and books to take away.
Your stay at our updated 1860's Victorian includes hearty breakfast, wireless internet, free local calls, parking, museum passes, fresh baked treats and wine & cheese. Guests enjoy the Wellbridge Althetic Club & Spa for just $5 a day. Our 14 spacious and bright guest rooms feature en suite full bath and all the amenities of a modern hotel, plus the charm of a bygone era. We are known amongst our many repeat guests for our pleasant, clean accommodations and our kind, caring staff. Children are welcome.
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.
Over the last few years, the demand for Bed and Breakfast operations has been increasing significantly. People are seeking places to relax and feel at home or get outside and be adventurous. They are ready to pay you to provide a safe, quiet space in which they can relax and feel at home, without interruptions and without an agenda.
If you thought running a successful Bed and Breakfast has to be difficult, you'll learn why it doesn't, and the methods I use to keep it simple (and profitable!) and how YOU, too, can capitalize on this exciting and immensely profitable NEW trend.
