Taylor House Bed & Breakfast, Jamaica Plain

Constructed in 1853, Taylor House's recent renovations have not done away with any of its Victorian charm. This Bed and Breakfast evokes rural New England, with its extensive gardens, attentive innkeepers, and resident Golden Retrievers. The very reasonable rates put the guest steps away from beautiful Jamaica Pond, a short walk from the T's orange line, and a couple blocks to Jamaica Plain's charming main thoroughfare, Centre Street. The continental breakfast included in the nightly rate boasts homemade baked goods whipped up by the innkeepers. The rooms include all the modern amenities as well as 19th century sleigh beds and decorative architectural touches. - Anais Wheeler
