Family-friendly vacation rentals in Holden

Excellent location! Great stay for a family away from home! House was magnificent and modern. Beautiful upstairs with an open layout and a downstairs living room. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Close to the Newton center to access the (T)rain so Boston is easily accessible. Great communication with Amir! He responded quickly with any questions I had! Would definitely come back for another family vacation!

Six of us stayed over the weekend. We were very comfortable and Brad was very helpful and responsive. House had everything that we needed. Brad is a great host. Would 100% recommend a stay.

The host communicated well and was very thoughtful. The bed wasn't very comfortable and the heating unit was a bit tricky to figure out, but overall, we had a great stay.

We had an absolute blast on our girls getaway weekend!! The cottage and community were amazing, exactly what we were hoping for and Doug couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. He was always available by text or phone. The cottage was clean, nicely equipped, and a great location!! We will definitely be renting this cottage again on our next trip!!! Thanks for having us... we loved every minute!! 🧙🧙🧙

Alex was an excellent host, responding to my questions and even gave helpful suggestions regarding places to eat etc. Everything was as advertised and the place was very clean.

We came as a group of friends with a baby to stay at Blake and Tracy's house, and we had a great stay. They were very communicative and accommodated all our requests to ensure our stay was excellent. They asked in advance if it would be okay for their child to stay in his room inside the house, and we agreed. We didn’t see him at all during our stay, and it didn’t disturb us in the slightest. The fact that Blake and Tracy live right next door was convenient, as they were readily available for anything we needed, but we never felt their presence. We will definitely come back!

We spent a couple of months at Loch Link while our home (a couple of towns over) was being renovated. Mike and Erica were helpful throughout the process and did their best to make us feel like we had a home away from home. It was a hectic change to our schedules, especially with 2 young kids, but we were grateful to have excellent hosts and a cozy place to stay. We moved a lot from our home that we ended up bringing back, because the rental already had most of what we needed. The weather only allowed us a few swims in the pool but it was definitely a hit with the kids.

Mary's apartment was clean and cozy, and full of whimsical knick-knacks. I enjoyed leafing through the cookbooks and stretching/yoga on the living room floor. The home is a 10-minute walk from the an excellent Mediterranean restaurant and the green line, and only 20 minutes to downtown Boston by train. When I had a question, Mary was there to answer. Will be back!

Michelle was very responsive and great at communicating leading up to our stay. The house was easy to find, good neighborhood, perfectly clean and had everything we needed. Parking was included which was awesome. The T was easy to walk to so we could go downtown every day easily. The host recommendation for Lulu’s Allston was spot on, it was nearby and great. We felt right at home and had a wonderful stay and check out was also easy. Thank you Michelle for hosting a wonderful place!

Wonderful and serene place to stay. Lots of room, clean, perfect for two and a puppy. Would definitely recommend.

James was an excellent host for my family and me. We thoroughly enjoyed the place and its beautiful surroundings.

I genuinely don't know what to say other than the fact that this may be one of the greatest places I've had the honor to lodge at. I did a lot of vetting across New England to find a wonderful place that could sleep a decent amount of people, provide a scenic and comfortable escape, and keep us entertained. Sarah's wonderful Stone and Sky Lodge exceeded every expectation I just listed. It's cozy, warm, and feels like a hidden nook! The scenery and nature couldn't be more beautiful. I never got the pleasure to meet Sarah, though I wish I did. Over messages and from what my friends told me, I just know that Sarah is the most hospitable and kind host that I've talked with in a while, and I hope that next time I can thank her personally. From my friends and I, we thank you for sharing your home with us. If you think that the excellent reviews are too good to be true, don't. This IS the truth, and I can't wait to have another reason to come back to this wonderful treasure of a place.

Wendy’s home served as a home away from home as we were in town to meet our new grandchild. The home is the downstairs unit of a 2 unit residence. Easy access to dining, shopping, local parks. The home itself is warm, comfortable, well-stocked with linens, kitchen items, etc. Coffee press and kettle. The sunroom was my favorite spot in the house. Great light throughout the day, warmed by a radiator and a comfy chair with ottoman and blanket. I highly recommend this beautiful home for any stay in the Brookline area. Thank you, Wendy!

We stayed at 8 Lambert Street for nearly a month while visiting relatives in Medford. The house is cozy and well furnished. Did a lot of cooking in the kitchen, which had plenty of cooking equipment, the basics of salt, pepper, olive and vegetable oil, and even a set of seasonings. Because we were staying over Christmas, Beth had done some holiday decorating before we arrived, which was wonderful and made the house very cheery. She was a responsive host and kept us stocked with the basics like paper towels and toilet tissue. She even included a baby gift for our new grandson on one occasion. The house was great for our stay - the steam heat combined with the modern thermostat kept us warm and cozy, even on some very cold nights. It's an older house, yes, but full of charm and warmth. The neighborhood is quiet and there are lots of food choices nearby if you don't want to cook. Highly recommend Nappi's Restaurant (cash only) and Fioritaly Trattoria. Off street parking a plus.

This is an authentic Cambridge home that has been owned by the host's family for multiple generations. Kevin is accommodating, and he generously left some snacks and drinks in the full kitchen for us. Well-stocked kitchen was super convenient for eating breakfasts. Note: there are significant stairs to get into the unit. Once there it's quite spacious. And I love the operable bathroom window. :) Thanks for a lovely stay in a convenient, walkable neighborhood!

This was a wonderful stay for myself, daughter and two rambunctious grandsons. We all loved the farm experience and enjoyed visiting the animals... peacock, rabbitts, chickens galore, ducks, goats, donkeys, horses and cows! The trampoline and two playstructures plus sand box were fantastic! The hosts, Roger and Melissa, were very welcoming and encouraged us to explore. Having the farm store right on the property was a bonus!

This was my second time staying here and it was every bit as perfect as my first stay! Christine's place is incredibly comfortable, clean, spacious and beautiful. Highly recommended!

We love the house! It’s spotless (very clean), very comfortable and super peaceful in a beautiful location! Highly recommend!

We had a very nice stay for a family wedding. Sharing the house with two combined families in January and the house was great for this. There are rooms with 3-4 beds in each so if you are looking for bedroom privacy then this house probably isn’t it. That said, we are all family so was fun to bunk up! The area is beautiful and there r a great set of trails right at the end of the road for hiking, walking cross country skiiing etc. Overall, a great stay and Kimberly was very communicative with everything
