Vacation rentals with lake access in Boston

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.

My family enjoyed staying here. It had a beautiful view from the back. Gorgeous in the morning! I loved it here and we felt at home. There was plenty of room for our family and it felt so cozy.

The property was stunning and impeccably clean, matching the description perfectly. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the convenient location with a trail to see horses and access to the lake. The host was incredibly accommodating, and we are looking forward to returning with our family. One suggestion for improvement would be to provide garage access to the house for elderly guests who may have difficulty with stairs, as the pathway, although beautiful, was quite lengthy for my elderly parents. Nonetheless, we all had a fantastic time. Thank you.

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.

20 White Pine Knoll was wonderful. We had an extended stay while we closed on our new house. Karen was always responsive and extremely helpful. If we decide to come back to Summer Village, 20 White Pine Knoll will be where we stay! Highly recommended.

My family and I had a great stay at Shawn’s place. The house was clean, newly updated, and fit our needs just fine. There was a mostly fenced in yard in the back which was great for the dog and we enjoyed on a nice afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised how close it was to everything. It was 5 mins to the train station and about a 30 minute train ride to north station. Aside from Boston, we found all sorts of things to do in the nearby surroundings including arcades, plenty of restaurants and the zoo. The nearby park, lake, and playground were a big hit with the kids. We would recommend to anyone looking to be accessible to Boston but also have a suburban experience and access to everything MA has to offer. We look forward to coming back!

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.

This cozy space in a beautiful coastal neighborhood was perfect for a 1-night stay for myself, my husband, and our two dogs. Hosts were friendly and easy to work with. We found everything we needed.

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!

Nice, Clean and cozy. Definitely recommend.

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!

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

Absolutely beautiful location. Home was very cozy. Love the kitchen! Brian is a great host. Extremely proactive, helpful and gave great recommendations. Neighborhood is quiet and those around are friendly. Definitely recommend staying at this location again. Wish I would have stayed in warmer weather to utilize the property to its full potential.

It was exactly what my family was looking for. It was relaxing and private. It allowed us to not feel cramped like a hotel stay, but allowed us to cook and enjoy the relaxing day. If you have a small kid, the golf cart is a must!

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

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!! 🧙🧙🧙
