Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Waltham

The home is beautiful, exactly as pictured on the site, located on a very quiet street in a wooded area. Very clean, with access to a whole array of kitchenware and other items around the house. Excellent, detailed set of instructions for the home with info on TV controls, gaming system, thermostat control, local recommendations, and departure instructions. This would be an amazing house to stay with small children, as there is a fun playroom with toys in the basement and a great backyard. It's about 45 minutes to Boston without traffic, and about 1 1/4 hours at peak times, so plan accordingly if you are planning travel to downtown Boston. Great local ice cream place just down the street and local shopping about 10 minutes away.

Spacious home in a very quiet neighborhood. My coworkers and I stayed here for a business trip, and there was plenty of room for all four of us. Tons of food delivery options. We were able to rest well during our stay!

Matthew's place was a great spot for our big group. Excellent value for the price. Easy communication and clear instructions. We would definitely stay here again!

This is my second time staying at Elina & Jack's Airbnb, and it continues to be a fantastic experience! The location is great—close to everything, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The space is consistently clean and well-kept, making it a comfortable place to relax after a busy day. I’ve had great stays here in the past and will be booking again the next time I’m in town. Highly recommend

We had a great stay—perfect for our quick family trip! The home was incredibly clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed, from a pack ’n play to extra towels, bed linens, and kitchen essentials. Marybeth was wonderful to communicate with and shared some great local dining recommendations. We were very happy with our accommodations and would absolutely stay again!

Devs place was very clean and plenty of room for our group of 7. There is a little noise from tenants above you but nothing terrible. There are places to eat and things to do within walking distance. I would stay with Dev again.

Eric’s Queen Victorian was like a vacation within itself! The location was conveniently close Boston with tons of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Overall my family and I had a wonderful stay and Eric was a great host!

Jim is a friendly and responsive Super-Host. His home suited our needs perfectly. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and it was easy to drive to shops, train station, etc. Thanks, Jim!

Christin is an exceptional host and this property is really special. Spacious, and incredibly well-appointed with a playful mid-century modern vibe. The deck boasts a lovely view and this beautiful space was just what we needed during a hectic, family event-driven visit to the area. Christin is super-communicative and considerate host who anticipates guests’ every need—and then some! From a well-stocked kitchen to her list of local go-tos for food, drink, pampering and fun, she provided it all before we even thought of it. There was even a bottle of celebratory bubbly chilling in the fridge when we arrived. A top Airbnb experience!

Look no more! Winter Island Retreat is a seaside oasis that creates an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. From the moment I arrived I was struck by it's beauty captivated by the stunning sunrises to start each day The retreat is charming and a place of solace. The beautifully manicured lawn and gardens filled with lush floral designs adds to its magic. while the front porch with its rocking chairs, invite you to slow down and savor your morning coffee or lose yourself in a good book. Evenings are equally special walking the path to the beach and settling into the adriondack chair with a glass of wine It's a peaceful ritual that grounds you in gratitude. The home itself is cozy, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated with calming beachy touches that make you feel at ease. It's perfectly located just minutes from downtown Salem. I'm grateful to be one of the lucky guests to stay in David's home. He was a kind and gracious host. A truly memorable retreat I will be back

We enjoyed our stay!!! The place was great and my son commented on how comfortable the beds were . The street is a little noisy but they provided sound machines that helped drown it out .20 min drive to Salem and 30-45min drive to Boston depending on traffic . Lots of restaurants and coffee nearby .

Beautiful place with a beautiful view. Whole place is up to date. Close to airport and easy access to the train. Edward was very responsive in timely manner. Great host. Would stay here again!

Only positive comments, everything was perfect. Location was superb as well as living accommodations.

J Lucky’s place was just as described! Walking distance to some delicious restaurants and easy to get on the busses for public transportation! We would love to stay here every time we’re in Boston!

Beautiful home, so close to the beach. Had an amazing time, felt very at home and homeowner very helpful.

Great hosts and very accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very beautiful home and if back in the area I will for sure stay again.

Great stay! We enjoyed it a lot. The room Is very spacious and the vibes in the house are very peaceful. Thanks again

The house is well-set up to accommodate guests. The neighborhood is safe, residential and with free-lines streets. Near Arnold Arboretum it is a beautiful area. The bathroom and bedroom are really clean and clutter-free which was so refreshing to experience! Anna is incredibly responsive and even when I needed assistance in the early morning hours she was available. And when I returned home late one evening on an unseasonably hot day she offered to turn on he air conditioning and then proceeded to install a window unit in the room in less than 19 minutes. She made great coffee in the morning and provided many suggestions for transport and getting around generally; and she walked me to the nearby bus stop on my first morning in the house. The house is large enough to house multiple guests simultaneously but I hardly overlapped with them. I’m very appreciative for the pleasant experience.

Anna is such a friendly and professional host, we had a wonderful stay! We will definitely come back next time when visiting Boston.

Our stay at Anna and Samuel’s place was exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet and peaceful and within driving distance of the city. It was clean and comfortable. The hosts were responsive and could easily any questions we had. We will definitely consider staying there again.

We got married at a venue about 15 minutes away so we stayed here with our bridal party and the size was perfect. Everyone slept comfortably, we still had plenty of space. The neighborhood is quiet and the location is still close enough for us to enjoy exploring Sturbridge. Michael was responsive and honest with any question I asked!

The room was comfortable and clean and exactly as advertised. Anna was very responsive with questions and they were really flexible with check in and check out time which was helpful.

Wonderful host and location. Enjoyed our graduation week at this lovely property.
