Quaint and cozy getaway only minutes from the city of Boston!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights. We loved the property and ease of the check-in process! The property was clean and cozy, with tea and coffee provided (as well as other utensils if you wished to cook). The owners left a "guestbook guide" that had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do around Jamaica Plain. This property is about 5-10 minutes from hot spots in downtown Boston (e.g Fenway). We highly recommend this location and would love to stay again in the future!

Quiet Cozy Retreat

The Arbor Retreat was a lovely little oasis in a pretty and quiet neighborhood, with easy access by car to downtown Jamaica Plain. The hosts were attentive to details, providing ample supplies for tea and coffee making along with basic cooking items like salt, pepper and oil. The WiFi worked beautifully, and HBO Max and Netflix access provided for ample in unit entertainment. Our only disappointment was that the bed was a full/double size rather than the advertised queen size.
