We had a big family coming and going all thanksgiving week, and the house was perfect for all that activity. There was enough space for everyone to gather for dinner, and also spots for a bit of quiet time when needed. The bedrooms were cozy and versatile, and the big windows gave us beautiful views.

We were looking for a place in the Boston area for our short term mission team. We wanted to be together and this home offered us that opportunity. It was clean and laid out well. It housed our group of ten. Plenty of beds and baths. Good kitchen and the host was so welcoming. We even got to use the grill in the large outdoor space. I highly recommend this property. ##### Clayton L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raphael G.

Great layout and interesting history. We did have a minor issue with earwig insects so if bugs are a big problem for you, you may be unhappy. They are harmless and we just disposed of them. ##### Stella P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark M. Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a family holiday get-together Ten family members from four states convened in Andover for a holiday reunion and retreat. This was a great house for that. Great layout, spacious common areas, ample windows to welcome natural light, a fully equipped kitchen (great for this group that did its own cooking), comfy beds, and a great location. The home is a testament to the solidity of post-war construction. Some other family members from the local area came to visit on a couple of occasions, and all commented on the suitability for our purposes: to get people together, allow for small groups to spread out when they wanted, and get a good rest after full days of togetherness. The host thoughtfully decorated a Christmas tree for us and pulled out other decorations to make the place festive. All in all, this was a great experience, and we'd happily rent the place again if the occasion arises. ##### Mark M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn L.

The check in process was easy and friendly - Steve was lovely and showed me the lay of the land. He left snacks to get us started which won the hearts of my kids. ;-). The house is minutes away from the center of Phillips Academy. It is the perfect place for a family... great equipped kitchen, ping pong table, outdoor space, several generous bedrooms and the bathrooms were large. The house is very warm and has an interesting history. It was a treat to stay there - I will definitely be back with my full crew! Thank you Steve for making my kids drop off experience so much more enjoyable. ##### Kathryn L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shahnaz S. Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Get-together We had a fantastic stay. The house is spacious and has a layout that provides quite bedrooms for family who needed to rest up after a long drive and spacious game room and kitchen with dining table for a perfect family catch-up, chat time. Most of the space and linens were clean and ready to use. However we did find signs of mice and household bugs, i.e. droppings in extra folding bed-frames and kitchen cupboards. The one bedroom has windows toward the street and car noise is quite loud, starting as early 5:30 am in the morning. Overall, I highly recommend staying at this place. Steve had stocked up the fridge with juice and snack which is very appreciated. We will certainly consider returning if there's another family event. ##### Shahnaz S.

It worked for us totally. I communicated with the host on day we were to arrive through app and via email but never heard from him. I was only informing him we would be coming in the next day due to plane connection complications. He never responded back with even an ok so we felt if we did need something he would not be available. The host had left some beverages in fridge and snacks for our arrival so that was very kind. Overall good home for our purposes. ##### Marcia P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Ann H. Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our home away from home In 2015, my family stayed at the Rum Runner House for my oldest son's wedding. This time my youngest son got married and imagine my joy when the Rum Runner House was available to rent this weekend since we had such a good time the first time we stayed here. My family thoroughly enjoyed EVERYTHING this house had to offer. The kitchen was well stocked, the full bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious and the game room entertained the younger and older generations alike. We have relatives living within 2-3 minutes from the Rum Runner House. It was very convenient to gather here and have dinner at times up to 16 adults and 5 children. Steve was the most gracious host with his prompt replies to my questions and went above and beyond his call of duty to make sure we got the lobsters we forgot in the house after we checked out. He also had snacks and drinks available upon arrival which we appreciated. All my children are married now but the Rum Runner House will be our first choice for the next family event. ##### Mary Ann H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Beverly H. Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Location #### Not what was expected Unfortunately, the property did not live up to the five star rating. I realized the home was older with older furniture but the condition of some of it was disappointing. The size of the property was good for a larger group. Beds not what stated. Bunk is a full bottom not queen. The two extra beds/cots were not usable for an adult size person. The space has a lot of potential but feels very unorganized. There were random old things in cabinets, for example, the laundry room had old socks and shoes. Kitchen cabinet doors loose as were drawers, dishwasher falling out when door was opened. The owner met us at the house to check in, tho I’m sure well intentioned, was not necessary and made some in our party uncomfortable. The checkout process was easy. The neighborhood nice, plenty or parking on the grounds ##### Beverly H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda S.

The house is amazing the neighborhood is close to a lot of great restaurants and a short drive to anything you want. We did a friends weekend after not seeing each other for a few years. The house is spacious and warm. The living and sleeping areas are spread out so friends who wanted to crash were not bothered by those who stayed up late. I can’t wait to plan a family get away to the area and stay at this amazing property. The owner was incredibly helpful and made us feel like part of their family. I could go on for days about this place. ##### William H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul B.

The host greeted us and stocked a few things in the kitchen. Lots of room for a large group of family or friends. ##### Carol S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura R. Jul 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property and home! My family and I stayed here while in town for a funeral. The house is wonderful, and although it’s on a Main Street it was really quiet. Steve is very thoughtful and provided drinks and snacks and the communication was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again. ##### Laura R. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maureen B.
