Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Middlesex County

Serge was helpful with marathon weekend details and was very responsive. House is as described, quite spacious and easily sleeps 8 adults. The game room includes billiards, darts, a massage chair, and 3 comfortable theater chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to prepare large family meals. It’s a 30 minute walk to the Newton Center green line train stop, which is recommended for transportation to and from downtown Boston. The price was a little high, but everything in the area was increased for marathon weekend. Would recommend.

Great layout for family get-together

booked this charming property in Worcester as a convenient spot to visit my son, who attends college nearby, and for family weekend at Boston University, where my daughter just started school. Hotels in Boston were priced from $600 to $1,200 per night, so finding this home was ideal. I brought along my elderly mother, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, and I was hoping for a place that would feel like a true home—a space where we could spend quality time together in the evenings and early mornings. This home exceeded our expectations. The description was spot on, and the space was everything we needed and more. I especially enjoyed sitting outside by the fireplace each morning for my prayers and reflections. The rooms were fantastic, and watching our football game on Sunday night on the "big screen wall" was a highlight. Many thanks to the hosts for providing such a welcoming and memorable place for our family.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alyssa’s home! It was perfect for our family of 6 adults. It was well equipped with new pots, pans, dishes and utensils. It was very clean and the bedrooms especially smelled so fresh. It was conveniently located about 25 minutes from Boston, and just 3 minutes away from a reservoir with walking trails. Alyssa was always responsive to our inquiries. We would definitely recommend this home.

The house was nice with a big open living area. The large fenced in yard was great for bringing our dogs and it was easy to access since it’s close to major roads. Definitely a good spot, especially for visiting family in the area!

We stayed here for the Boston Marathon and really enjoyed our stay! Very clean and comfortable. Marybeth and Steve were very accommodating and helpful. I did want to mention how we navigated the marathon if helpful! I dropped our runner off at the Endicott station in the morning (5 min drive from the house) which goes directly to the Back Bay Station near gear drop/the busses. For watching, we drove to the Wellesley Hills station around 745am before the roads closed. There is a great coffee shop attached (with clean bathrooms!) right on the course. This is mile 11-ish. You could easily watch from there but we took the commuter rail from Wellesley Hills to Aburndale Station. The course is about a 10 min walk from the station. Once we saw our runner, we took the commuter rail from Aburndale to Back Bay which is around the corner from the finish / the family meeting spot. I hope this helps!

Karen’s home truly is cozy. We were here two weeks before Christmas and it was decorated and beautiful. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen was clean and well stocked, nice big fluffy towels and I loved the shower! We have stayed in several,places in the Boston area and this is one of the best. Even my dogs loved it!

Home is clean and convenient. Served as a perfect launching pad for my family's fulfilled weekend!

The Bubby house was a lovely environment! Clay was great at ensuring our stay was comfortable throughout our visit. The house itself is warm and inviting. The character of the Airbnb is a unique reflection of the area, staying authentic to the apparent history of the area while still showcasing the host's tastes and design interests. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer and enjoy the house more. The sun porch is lovely, the street is calm and quiet, and during the fall, seeing the trees from the comfort of the inside was beautiful. There are lots of things to do in the area and lots of activities to do in the house if that is an option for you! We had a great stay; thanks for everything!

We booked Binh’s place less than 24 hours before our stay for travel for a family emergency. Despite the short notice, the home was very clean, spacious, quiet, with easy access to the surrounding areas and the highway into Boston. We had a comfortable and convenient stay, and it made our last-minute visit much easier than anticipated. We would definitely consider staying there again when visiting Boston for actual vacation. Overall, I would highly recommend.

We were a group of four guys on a sports-trip to Boston. The location was perfect, 30 minute drives from Downtown, Foxborough and Boston College. Lovely neighbourhood, quiet and nice walks nearby. The house was as described in the listing, plenty of space for four, clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen.

Very nice apartment with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The jacuzzi was even in an enclosed tent which was great considering the chilly weather. Comfortable bed, functional kitchen, close to multiple supermarkets and restaurants close by as well. Would definitely stay again!

I've stayed at Mary and Frank's place twice already and just booked my third stay. I love staying here when I'm in Boston. Some highlights are 1) the fully stocked kitchen -- I like to cook when I travel and find everything I need. The dining table and chairs are so comfortable (seats 4) and I just love the morning light! Honestly, I think the place is even prettier than the photos show. 2) The beautiful living spaces face out onto woods--from the many windows in the kitchen and also the french doors in the living room, all you see is nature. Just lovely, very peaceful. 3) The fireplace! Being from a warmer part of the world, I just love the gas fireplace, which I can turn on or off without a worry. It's lovely to set my mug on the stone hearth to warm up as I prepare my morning coffee, and I just love spending time cozying there with a book at night. 4) Convenience and quiet all in one: the house is near a main highway connecting to Boston, but the neighborhood is very quiet!

Kjersti's house was great and quintessential Cambridge. The space was great for the four of us (2 adults, 2 teen kids). Like the other reviews, walking and movement from the upstairs can be heard, so if you're a light sleeper, this may not be the best for you. There are some great cafe (Asaro bakery) and food spots (Gufo) within walking distance. The closest red line (Harvard) and green line (Union Square) T stops are each ~3/4 mile away. It's totally fine if you don't mind walking. Just keep that in mind, especially if weather isn't ideal.

Great place. Mariana answered all our questions super fast and very effective. The appartment is very well located with many options close to eat. The appartment was very nice: clean and it had everything we need. We will come back for sure!

Great location with cute shops and restaurants just down the block. The apartment is very quiet, easy to access and we had no issue finding street parking. Ella checked in multiple times and gave us a great dinner rec!

Had a wonderful stay . Very relaxing and enjoyable cabin

Had a great stay at Eric and Irie’s Airbnb! The place was very clean, beautifully designed, and had amazing views. Eric and Irie were very responsive and prompt with our questions, making the stay even better. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I’d definitely book again in the future!
