We gambled on the Hawthorne Inn when we couldn't get into our regular Cambridge inn for our anniversary weekend. It surpassed all our expectations - kudos to our three hosts, Marilyn, Greg and Hector (the handsome inn cat). Marilyn and Greg are incredible cooks, Greg's art (almost everything you see) is wildly imaginative and professionally accomplished, and Hector has the... More

My wife and I just finished our 4th stay at the Hawthorne Inn. We love the history, particularly the literary history in this beautiful town. The Hawthorne Inn is as warm, friendly and cozy as could be. The owners are always welcoming, making you feel more like an invited friend than like a guest. They could not be more helpful... More

This was my second stay at the Hawthorne Inn and I just loved it again! From the minute I walked in, the owners, Marilyn and Greg, treated me so graciously. They were so nice to offer me a lovely fresh juice when I came in as I had had a rough journey that day and was parched. The first time... More

My husband and I were looking for something extra special for our quick honeymoon and historic Concord was some place we had each wanted to visit for years. We didn't want to stay at a typical "chain" hotel so the Hawthorne was just what we were looking for. Gregory and Marilyn were very gracious hosts; when we checked in, Gregory... More

We stayed at the Hawthorne Inn for two nights in August last year. The accommodation, service and breakfast were all excellent. Gregory, Marilyn and Hector made us feel very welcome and we were given some good restaurant and other recommendations. We enjoyed meeting other travellers at the communal breakfast. Concord is a lovely town and holds a special fascination for... More

The decor creeped me out, with their Haitian voodoo mask, and 3' by 4' "African dreamer" (basically, not particularly attractive naked women) but I suppose that's just personal taste. When we got there, they didn't give us a key... More

My husband and I have birthdays within a week of one another in February and frequently celebrate by going somewhere fun and relaxing. We had such a lovely time discussing recipes and our pets with Marilyn and Gregory over a really superb breakfast. We stayed in the Emerson Room which, along with the rest of the Inn, was decorated in... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hawthorne Inn in Concord this past weekend -- we found it charming, and welcoming. Greg and Marilyn know how to make guest feel welcome. Concord was charming, and full of history. I loved all of their artwork very eclectic and interesting. Breakfast was very good, the welcoming tea was nice but I was... More
