  • Inn Details

    Lexington, Massachusetts, a town familiar to Americans across the nation, its name passed from generation to generation through stories depicting our country's birth. Amidst this town teeming with history, we find a charming Bed and Breakfast with an interesting claim of its own. Although the original house was built in 1909, this B & B is not called an "Old House" for its years. The home's young addition was the featured project on a popular home improvement television series, and lasted through all twenty-six episodes of the season. The bold project included designing and constructing a new master bedroom and bathroom, kitchen, an adjacent family room, basement, garage, whole-house audio system personally installed by Dr. Bose, and two outdoor decks: one constructed of wood outside the kitchen and the other of granite accompanied by a welcoming goldfish pond. Only eleven miles from Boston, this Bed and Breakfast remains nestled in one of Boston's most beautiful and historical suburbs. Two blocks from the scenic Minuteman Bikeway and only minutes from Lexington's historic museums and parks , guests enjoy easy access to the best of two worlds - the comforting charm of peaceful Lexington along with the cosmopolitan life of vibrant Boston. Whether you are an independent city explorer or just want to enjoy the tranquility of a charming historic town, our doors are always open to welcome you, and we hope to see you soon.

    Our stay was very enjoyable. Rooms were very comfortable, clean, and competitively priced. Mary Van, the proprietor, was the epitome of transplanted southern hospitality and a fascinating conversationalist. The full breakfast, catered to our special needs, was perfect. Highly recommend it.

    Mary Van Sinek welcomes visitors into her home with all the southern charm of a North Carolina transplant. You are her guest and she makes sure your visit is as quiet or as busy as you want. The house is open and you are made to feel as if you have always been a part of it. Large, airy, spacious and filled with antiques, this home has all the warmth of home but with the attention of a diligent hostess. We would not want to stay anywhere else when visiting the Boston area.

    Good-House is interesting, nice neighborhood, looks nice from the outside, convenient location for us, cheap prices, parking available, the owner was friendly and not rude as some reviewers on other travel websites had found. Bad-When we arrived it was dark out. No lights were on, no sign, nothing indicating that this was a B&B. I saw someone inside, rang the doorbell from the dark, unlit porch and no one answered the door! It appeared from the website that there were 3 total rooms in this B&B - actually not true, there are 5 rooms, one of which is rented by a long term tenant (pretty inappropriate for a B&B). No keys were provided to lock our rooms. The house is left unlocked 24-7. No lights left on inside or outside the house. The rooms themselves were nothing fancy and a bit worn. The bathroom was not very clean in my room - hairs and used bar of soap in the shower. One rainy night we were kept up all night by loud dripping/banging sounds. This house is the owner's full time residence - her personal washer and dryer were located right outside of 2 of the guest rooms. The long-term tenant also used the washer and dryer (and was yelled at pretty constantly by the owner about laundry and other various things in front of guests - very inappropriate). The house contained a completely cluttered living room, a dining room (where breakfast was served) and a cluttered kitchen. One morning the owner was clipping her dog's hair on her kitchen table! These rooms are used 100% by the owner and not tidied up when guests are present - it feels as though you are staying in a relative's home. Worst-the owner just barged in to occupied rooms without knocking, cooked breakfast each morning, but she also pulled up a chair and joined us, completely taking over our conversation. Didn't seem to know when it was time to walk away. After breakfast our first morning there, we noticed the pan that was used to cook our eggs was on the floor - for the dogs to lick clean!!

    Cosy, warm, charming and just a touch of quirkyness, my old house makes for a delightful landing place just outside of Boston. The hospitality, food, and conversation are to be savored. The clean and delightful accommodations provide delightful respite.

    We visited the B&B to attend our daughter's graduation. We really enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was fantastic and we highly recommend this B&B!! It is even dog-friendly!
