Experience a historic Cambridge House built in the neoclassic Greek Revival Style with a full front porch adorned with fluted columns and Ionic capitals. The house was constructed in 1843 by William Saunders, a prominent Cambridge house wright, for his son, William Augustus and his new wife Mary Prentiss. The Mary Prentiss Inn is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and received the Massachusetts Historical Commission Preservation Award in 1995.

Relax in comfortable spacious rooms each uniquely different. Many have high ceilings, hardwood floors and are all beautifully appointed with classic and vintage furnishings. All rooms have private bathrooms.

Enjoy a complimentary full Chef's choice breakfast each morning. Savor breakfast in front of the fireplace on cool mornings, or at umbrella covered tables and chairs on the 1000 square foot deck on warm sun-filled days.

The Mary Prentiss Inn is conveniently located near Massachusetts Avenue between Harvard and Porter Square. Harvard University and Lesley College are just blocks away. Boston and other in-town activities are within easy access via the T (subway).
