Despite its location in metro Boston, about 1 1/2 miles from Harvard Square, this cozy inn offers couples the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. Many of the charming guest rooms in this turn-of-the-century, three-story frame house have heavenly four-poster beds lavishly dressed with fine linens and pillows, and most have gas-log fireplaces. In warm weather, the lovely backyard garden adds even more charm. The nightly rate includes a deluxe continental breakfast buffet and hors d’oeuvres and pasta in the evening.
