Vacation rentals with lake access in Cambridge

The house was nicely located facing a lovely park and lake. The location was excellent and fit our needs perfectly. We hope to return!

Great home and even better team, very responsive and considerate. The house was very spacious and modern, great value for your money!

My two adult children and I stayed here with our two dogs while my wife was having surgery in Boston. The location was great. Car ride to the Longwood medical area was about 25 minutes. The neighborhood consists of single family homes on small lots, not at all fancy but entirely safe as far as we could tell. We were just a few short blocks from a school playing field where leashed dogs were welcome, and other dog-walkers were often on the street in the morning and evening. The house is a bit quirky. There is no seating in the kitchen, but the dining area is very spacious although located down a short hallway from the kitchen. Each of the three bedrooms was more than ample and very quiet at night. We slept well. As we stayed more than a week we were grateful that laundry facilities were present in the basement. Roosevelt was an excellent host and quick to respond to my requests. I would definitely stay in his place again should a similar situation arise.

This place is a gem!! It sits in a super quiet neighborhood and close to Alewife metro station for trips into Boston. The house was perfect for our family of 6 (4 teenagers). The house was quaint, clean, and spacious enough for all us to feel like home for a few days. Aimee was super helpful in providing local recommendations for groceries and restaurants. She was also very proactive in checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Super host!! If you are traveling to Boston, this is a fantastic place to stay. Definitely would stay here again if we return at any point.

We had the perfect stay. The place was beautiful. The scenery was great. 100% will recommend very peaceful.

Betsy’s home was wonderful. I had the whole first floor home with private entries and porches. The home is beautiful, it has quality finishes and furnishings. Loved the kitchen, bathroom and the bedroom has a very comfortable bed. Betsy even had the home decorated with a Xmas tree and candles, there was coffee, spices and more in the kitchen. It’s a great place and I plan on returning when I come to the Boston area. It’s an easy walk to the commuter rail that takes you to the North Station. I really appreciate Betsy’s hospitality. Thanks so much. Mary

The space is a nice escape from the busyness of the city, but still close enough for easy access. Adam was accommodating to our changing plans, and helpful when we asked for advice!

This home was inviting and comfortable. It felt just like home. Although our trip was cut short for personal reasons, we were able to recharge, relax and catch up with friends in a relaxed space.

Great place to stay in a residential neighborhood -- correctly described as an apartment attached to the back of a family home. It's just a quick uber from the East Weymouth commuter line station. It's a walkable distance, but not a pedestrian-friendly route. The space was ultra-clean and the bed extremely comfortable. I recommend ordering in coffee and breakfast from the nearby creperie.

First rate residence with very comfortable beds/pillows, and well supplied with paper products, K-cup coffee, towels, etc. Lovely,quiet neighborhood with nearby pond/trails. Hilly and scenic with many beautiful homes and yards. Our ground level flat was easy to access with our suitcases in tow. This home was updated nicely with appliances, on demand water heater, flooring, carpet, etc. We enjoyed the nearby trails, restaurants, and Trader Joe's. Host was very informative and attentive. Would definately stay here again when we visit Boston.

Close to everything! A short walk to the T, target, cvs and multiple restraunts. We loved our stay here

We had a great visit to Boston and this location was very convenient. Excellent communication with the host and a very clean and nice place to stay while visiting. Thank you!

We had a great time at Carries place while visiting family. It rained the whole weekend so we didn't spend much time outside, but we enjoyed drinking morning coffee while watching the pond, including wildlife such as a swan! The apartment was comfortable and clean! There was no clutter which helped us relax since we have a toddler. We would love to stay at Carries place again!

Yanti is that host who thinks of everything. This is a wonderful location, we spent the long weekend while attending the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships in Boston and all 3 of us loved our stay. First, it's an easy walk to the commuter rail, which will have you at North Station in half an hour or less. Downtown Wakefield is adorable with some excellent restaurants and there's a nice 3+ mile route around the lake that's perfect for a run/walk. She has the sweetest doggies and I fell in love with Lily's smile. The unit is in the downstairs of a quaint home that is steps from the downtown common and has every amenity or resource I could think of. Forgot my razor, they were stocked in the cabinet. Needed to print tickets - office area had a printer. Umbrellas to walk to the train in the rain. First aid kit to dress a small cut on my finger. Washer and dryer with cleaning supplies. Literally everything. I'm so glad we chose the spot and we'll definitely be back!

Amazing stay! The place looks very clean and new, decorations are nice. Way better in real life than on photos. Very easy check-in, all supplies are there.

Our family loved our week at Mary Ann’s home in Cambridge. It is situated on a quiet, beautiful street right next to a main road with grocery stores and a short walk to Davis Square. There were tons of playgrounds for my toddler nephew to play at within a 15 min walk. It’s also a 2 minute walk to a local shop called Momma’s, which has local provisions and the best maple soft serves (creemees) - it was a daily stop for us. Mary Ann’s home is cozy, warm, and inviting. The layout was ideal for our group (4 adults, 1 toddler) with a large, fully stocked kitchen, dining room, living room, tv den, and bathroom all on the main floor, with the bedrooms upstairs. We had great weather and enjoyed sitting for meals out in the backyard garden. I used to live in Cambridge / Somerville and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay while in town. Mary Ann was an extremely responsive and flexible host, we are grateful to have spent our week there!

The Little House was very cleaned and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I was in town for work and the house's cozy atmosphere and view of the pond made it a great place to unwind and relax at the end of a long work day. I felt right at home. I would love to return on future business trips and it would be great to stay sometime for a more leisurely vacation. Highly recommend!

This beautiful cottage is a hidden gem! The views of the pond from three sides of the living room were a calm respite from busy daily life. The owners have put such care into every detail and have spared nothing in terms of thinking of comfort, welcoming, convenience, and pampering. From luxury linens and phone holders to fresh flowers and a welcome basket with a personal note, I immediately felt at home. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of closet storage. Sabrina checked in when I first arrived and was extremely responsive with any question I had. I hope to book again and would highly recommend a stay at this sweet and comfortable place.

Tranquil spot in a beautiful surrounding area. The views were incredible - the sunset was idyllic! The communication with the host was very clear and helpful as well. Thank you again

Hosts were very kind and responsive. The house was amazing and the views were incredible.
