Some Conversations Deserve a Different Setting
When your leadership team needs to think about the future, tackle a difficult challenge, or make important decisions, getting away from the office can make all the difference.
Set on 15 secluded acres in Waltham, just outside Boston, Harvard House offers a private, comfortable setting where your team can focus, exchange ideas, and spend meaningful time together.
Ideal for groups of 10 to 15, Harvard House accommodates day meetings and multi-day retreats, with overnight stays available for some team members.
Get Your Team Together. Get Something Important Done.
Strategy & Planning
Step away from day-to-day demands to rethink your strategy, explore new opportunities, and set a clear direction for the months ahead.
Leadership Team Meetings
Bring your senior team together to tackle important decisions, work through challenges, and build alignment around what comes next.
Team Retreats
Give your team time to connect beyond the usual meetings. Share ideas, strengthen relationships, and enjoy being together in a relaxed, private setting.
More Than a Meeting
There’s something about being together in the right setting that opens people up to new ideas.
At Harvard House, your team can gather around the dining table, continue a conversation over a shared meal, or step outside for a walk through the grounds.
With comfortable living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and room for some team members to stay overnight, there’s time to connect in ways that rarely happen during a typical day at the office.
The combination of shared experiences, personal connections, and space to think creates the conditions for something special: fresh perspectives, unexpected ideas, and the kind of creativity that can move a business forward.

Connection Sparks Creativity
There’s a special quality to Harvard House that goes beyond its rooms and beautiful surroundings.
Step outside, walk among the trees, or find a quiet place to continue a conversation. Away from the usual interruptions, people have the freedom to think, listen, and explore ideas together.
Sometimes a change of scenery changes the conversation. And sometimes that conversation leads to something no one expected.

What Happens When Teams Get Away Together
A great private spot for a team meeting
A great private spot for a team meeting. We had 6 out-of-town guests who slept over, plus 5 locals who came daily. Cooking meals together and playing bocce on the lawn during breaks was a great team-building exercise and really enhanced our ability to think and work together on a new initiative we were soon going to launch.
Time and space to really think
A wonderful venue for an offsite meeting for our consulting team. Harvard House perfectly fulfilled the description of a ‘boutique conference center’. A great ‘retreat’ with the time and space to really think.
