Holiday Rentals In Massachusetts

Welcome to our selection of holiday rentals in Massachusetts.

This is one place that has several firsts to it’s name - the first American lighthouse, the first sewing machine, demonstration of the first telephone, invention of basketball and volleyball, invention of frozen food, the very first computer, the first public school, the first college in the country, to name a few! Located in the northeastern US, the state is named after the Massachuset Indian tribe that lived in the area. It is also known as the ‘Bay State’ and has Boston as the capital.

Massachusetts has lots to offer for the visitor to provide an enthralling experience!

The New England Aquarium in Boston has lots of marine exhibits and even hosts a whale and dolphin watching session on the high seas! In fact, the port of Gloucester is close to two major whale-feeding grounds. So chances are very high that you’ll spot one of the numerous varieties that flock here.

The Plimoth Plantation provides a 17th century replica of colonial life. One can tour the 1627 English Village – an accurate reenactment of pilgrim life when the Mayflower landed here.

Those looking for some musical entertainment can head to a legendary Boston Pops performance. You can choose between a Holiday Nutcracker show or opt to indulge in a family concert. Maintaining this relaxed mood, head to the Butterfly Garden to see some wonderful species amidst blooming plants.

Salem was the site of the infamous witch-hunt in the late 17th century. A museum dedicated to this saga tells you of the false accusations that were made and what it cost many women. There is also a period enactment of a witch trial where you can be part of the jury!

If all this activity is making you hungry, have you ever heard of a food tour? Well, Boston offers a ‘restaurant week’ in March and August where, for the price of one dinner, restaurants offer a sampling buffet. You can hop from one restaurant to another tasting the finest they have to offer. Besides this, there is also a tour of ethnic cuisine where one can taste authentic Russian and Jewish food.

Once all that food settles, head for the Six Flags New England for a thrilling ride. Whatever be your thrill level, there is a ride for everyone here – from the best steel coaster to some really tame ones.

You can round off the trip with a visit to the Collectors’ World to pick up some holiday gifts to take home. If you are lucky, you might also chance upon one of the thrice-yearly Brimfield Antique Show; a must for anyone who enjoys beautiful old things.

We are sorry but at the present time we do not have any holiday rentals available in Massachusetts.
