About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5-bedroom house. Close to airport, bus & train. 10 min from Boston. Sleeps 10.

5-bedroom, 2 full bath house, 7 mi to Boston/airport, 1000 FT to bus and train and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Luxury appointments, upscale furniture, hotel bedding, "5-star kitchen" per a famous chef who stayed, AC in all rooms except baths (mini-splits coming in Apr '24), fenced in yard, and 3-car driveway.

The City of Melrose was the #1 real estate market in the U.S. in 2015 and #4 in 2020 (search "hottest zip code melrose ma 2015"). It receives praise from visitors due to its quaint downtown within walking distance, restaurants and a Whole Foods supermarket.

*1st Floor: Large, open-concept, "5-star kitchen," (includes paper towel roll, dish cloths, new sponge and food staples, e.g. cooking oil, spices, sugar, coffee, etc.); dining room; full bath; and foyer. Large 20x20 deck off of the kitchen with gas grill.

*2nd Floor: 4 bedrooms (3 queen beds, 1 full), washer & dryer, and full bath.

*3rd Floor: Finished attic bedroom with queen bed.

*Basement: Large finished room.

2 Pack 'n Play, 2 high chairs, baby gate and stroller

There is parking for 3 cars, but the 3rd spot is tight. There is no on-street parking overnight.

Check in is 4 pm or later and check out is by 11 am, but I can accommodate early arrivals or late departures depending on other guests' timing. Please contact me to coordinate about 2 weeks prior.

Please tell me about your group, pets and the reaon you're visiting when inquiring or booking. The minimum age of the oldest person should be 35 and good reviews are important, but I make exceptions. This a great place for family and mature friends to gather, but not a party house. Parties will result in immediate eviction, no refund for the remaining days and a charge for any cleaning beyond the normal cleaning fee.

Boston Marathon guests must arrive on at least the Friday of the weekend prior.

Excellent and pet friendly!
My family had a wonderful time staying with our family dog for my son’s college graduation in Boston. Greg was a courteous and most gracious host and we thoroughly enjoyed being all together, lounging on the back porch, cooking and eating family meals, and just hanging out! There was nothing lacking and we would definitely stay again!

Excellent Weekend Stay!
We traveled to the area for the Boston Marathon. This home and location were the perfect place for us to be able to relax, cook our own food, and prep for the weekend without the hustle/bustle of the city. The close proximity to public transportation was great and it was an affordable Uber ride into Boston as well. The walkability of the town - to restaurants, churches, groceries, etc. - was excellent. The neighborhood was quiet and the home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Greg was a wonderful and responsive host. Would definitely stay there again!

Family Visit to Boston area
We recently spent 3 nights at this beautiful home in Melrose. We had six adults and one child in our party as well as our two dogs. The home was spacious , warm and very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out. The location is perfect. It’s easy to get into Boston via the train. The station is just a few minutes from the house. It’s also a very short drive to get on I-93 and I-95. There are several great restaurants within walking distance. Greg, the host, was outstanding. He was very communicative and accommodating . We will definitely be booking this house again. I highly recommend it!!

The house is a 4 BR, one of which is a lovely 3rd floor loft with one full bathroom on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms and one full bath off the kitchen on main floor. Spacious, well appointed kitchen. Had a small problem with the oven tripping the breaker which Greg promptly arrived and resolved. Great location just 2 miles from my daughter's house and right beside main street. The only reason I gave a 4 star was a dirty pan left in the oven and no towels or body wash in the bathrooms. Plenty of towels in laundry room tho. Will definitely stay here again!

Awesome House & a Great Host!
This home is absolutely beautiful (just as pictured) and comfortable. It was not much of a drive to Salem or Boston, so well located! There was plenty of things near by for needs and the commuter trains were close too! We loved our stay and would book it again anytime! Thanks for the great time and letting us use your home Greg!

Great house
Was everything we hoped for and more. The house was spotless and the owner even left shampoo and soap on the porch for us to use. We forgot something at the house and the owner sent it right back to us. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults. Great bedrooms and the dining room table was great at night to sit around. We never even went to the basement that had couches and a TV. Will definitely stay again when we go to Boston. Highly recommend!!!!!!
