**Voted by Inngoers as one of the Top 15 B&B;/Country Inns Near a College or University in Arrington's Bed and Breakfast Journal Book of Lists 2003** A Three Star *** Bed & Breakfast A stay at The Bertram Inn offers one the opportunity to step back into another era. Built in 1907, The Bertram Inn was originally constructed as a private residence for a wealthy Boston merchant. Outfitting his spacious home with oak paneling, a sweeping staircase, leaded windows and fireplaces, he created an ideal setting for a bed and breakfast. The present-day owner, Bryan Austin, an award-winning historical preservationist, has not only restored the house from cellar to garret but also established a wonderful collection of period antiques that is showcased in each of our rooms. With the help of his wife, an interior decorator, he has thoughtfully restored each room to a perfect balance of atmosphere and comfort.

In the morning the large living room becomes a cheerful breakfast room
where a hearty continental breakfast of fresh-baked muffins, cereals,
pastries and fruits is served in front of a crackling fire. After a
busy day of work or sight-seeing this cozy retreat provides a place
where guests can read, relax and treat themselves to complimentary snacks,
fresh-baked cookies and a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The season
permitting, guests may also choose to enjoy breakfast or their afternoon
treats on the classic front porch overlooking the garden.
Today The Bertram Inn serves as a comfortable oasis from the hustle and bustle of Boston.
We are located on a quiet street in the residential community of Brookline just 15 minutes from Boston
center via public transportation. Points of cultural and historic interest in our immediate vicinity
include the JFK birthplace and the Museum of Fine Arts. In addition, we are just a few minutes walk
from a wide variety of shops and fine restaurants.
