The Whitman House has it all... history, location, and culture.
This elegant, circa-1836 Neo-Classical residence lies in a prominent, historically significant neighborhood that was originally founded by scholars and abolitionists.

The Whitman House is located next door to MIT and Harvard, only 3 minutes by foot to Central Square, and is surrounded by numerous live musical, theatrical and comedy venues. We are only 1 subway stop or 15-minute walk to Harvard Square and off-street parking available for those brave enough to drive in Boston! Or take the subway – we’re just ten minutes by subway from Downtown Boston.

The house was recently restored by one of your hosts, Robert, a Harvard architect, and retro-fitted with central heat & A/C. One room is available with Queen-sized bed, Wi-Fi, Flatscreen TV, cable and features a gorgeous bathroom.

Enjoy relaxing in our library or wax philosophical over the custom-made dining room table. Throughout the house, you will find original vintage lithographs of Boston, many African artifacts, and other cultural artwork.

Visiting professors, lecturers and students will find this the ideal place for convenience, comfort and inspiration. Inquire directly about special extended stay packages.

We are excited to invite you to experience the essence of Cambridge/Boston at our new inn!
