We wanted a nice, quiet, historic B&B for our first trip to the Boston area. The MP Inn exceeded our expectations. It is located only 3 blocks away (0.3 miles) from the T Red Line subway, so a short walk was all that was needed to get to the downtown Boston area and not worry about parking and traffic. We...

We have stayed at the Mary Prentiss most recently for our daughter's wedding. The staff is very helpfull and the garden is a beautiful place to relax. The breakfasts are delicious and big e enough to get us through a busy day of pre-wedding errands. We love coming back in the afternoon in time for cookies. Linda and Dennis

I have tried to book a room at the Mary Prentiss Inn a few times but to my dismay it's always booked. Fortunately, this time I visited Cambridge I was able to book a room and now I see why it's always booked!!! The Inn is magnificently kept up, and very quaint. When I arrived, tea and cookies were being... More

The Inn was beautiful and such a pleasant place to relax and enjoy life. We were able to have a cocktail party one evening, and it went off without a hitch thanks to all the support from the staff. They could not have been more helpful and I look forward to returning to the Mary Pretiss Inn.

This inn is amazing....beautiful, immaculate, well run, relaxed, friendly, and so close to everything! The breakfast is huge. The gardens are gorgeous. There are many nice places to spend time without being in the room. I would stay there again and highly recommend to anyone. I will definitely return to stay there when next overnighting in Cambridge.

A few minor inconveniences were handled professionally and promptly by the staff who are available at all times, except late at night. Our room was off the courtyard, kept beautiful by a landscaping service which continually replaces flowering plants. Our room looked out on this courtyard and was blissfully quiet. While we could hear adjacent room neighbors occasionally, this was... More

My son and I stayed at this B&B in April, 2013. It is a beautiful house on a quiet street in Cambridge walking distance from the Porter Square T stop (subway). The room we stayed in was creatively designed. For example, there was a set of tiles in the bathroom that was carefully constructed out of glass figures and painted... More

If you are looking for a welcoming, comfortable, unique, safe, conveniently located, clean B&B with an exceptional staff- you have found your place! My husband & I were fortunate to discover Mary Prentiss Inn soon after our son started college in Cambridge 3 years ago. There is no place we'd rather stay when we come to Boston! Each guest room...

What a lovely inn. The colorful tulips surrounding the front entry invite you to enjoy the warm and cozy rooms, delicious breakfast, tasty afternoon cookies and delightful outdoor patio area. The rooms each vary in decor and amenities. Each is tastefully decorated and made comfortable with individual heating and cooling units. Staff is helpful and filled with suggestions for the... More
