The Hive: A Honeybee-Themed Retreat. Wi-fi, Video Games, EV Charger, Garden View

Plan a unique and memorable stay at the Hive, a honeybee-themed apartment in a Boston suburb 21.1 miles from the city. Delight in the charming honeybee-inspired décor. Relax on the patio and enjoy the nearby geese and chickens – and especially their fresh eggs. You’ll love the entertainment options – 100s of free movies plus cable TV and access to streaming channels. Everything you need is here, from a full kitchen with a coffee bar to EV charger. Got work? A workspace and super-fast Wi-Fi await you.
The space
You’ll be all abuzz as you see the Hive’s honeybee theme emerge as you approach the apartment – with garden decked out with re-purposed beehive planters and bee garden decor. Step into the Hive’s foyer via convenient keyless entry and make your way to the open-concept living area, where you can relax on the comfy sectional sofa with chaise or play supplied board games. Enjoy the continuing bee theme as it unfolds throughout the space – from built-in hexagon furniture to bee decor, honey-colored accents, and adorable buzzing bees. Weary and hungry travelers not yet ready to make a meal can indulge in a snack from the kitchen table.

Watch your favorite movies, shows, and sports on the 55" Samsung 4K TV via Apple TV with host-provided PLEX server (980+ movies on personal server) – plus cable channels. You can also access popular streaming services with your own log-ins. Content delivery is supported by super-fast Verizon Fios 1gbps (wireless speed in the Hive averages around 650 Mbps). Those with remote work needs will appreciate both the Wi-Fi and the provided workspace with a desk and executive office chair.

Steps away, prep and cook your best culinary creations in the well-equipped kitchen featuring a refrigerator, 2-burner cooktop, microwave, toaster oven/air fryer, dishwasher, and a good selection of small appliances – waffle-maker, hand-mixer, blender, crock pot, rice cooker, and toaster. You’ll find plenty of counterspace – including the kitchen island – and all the cookware, bakeware, dishware, flatware, glassware, serving ware, and utensils you need to prepare and serve your favorite recipes. You can also count on fresh eggs from the Hive’s chickens!

Dine at the kitchen table for 3 or at the kitchen peninsula with additional barstool seating for 2.

Grab your morning hot beverage from the coffee bar with Keurig and electric kettle, along with coffee (pods), tea, hot chocolate, honey, and other sweeteners, as well as flavored syrups.

Sip your beverage on the patio in nice weather, enjoy the garden, and watch the antics of the nearby poultry.

Plug into the provided EV charger as you head out for the day’s activities and after a full day of exploring all that the Boston metro area has to offer – or just hanging out enjoying the simple pleasures of the Hive, head for a restful night’s sleep in accommodations customized for the size of your group.

For 1-2 guests, the bedroom offers a queen bed with sumptuous linens and flanked by sconce lights. Wind down to sleep watching the 42” Sony XBR2 1080P TV. Store your belongings in the dresser, closet, and the luggage rack in the closet. You’ll love the convenience of the well-lighted ensuite bathroom with shower stall and all bathroom essentials, including OPPEAL Delicen toiletries with Manuka honey and coconut oil.

Parties of 4 guests will have use of the bedroom and sleeper sofa, which folds out into a full-size bed.

Parties of 3 guests will have the bedroom and a twin rollaway bed so the sofa remains accessible for watching TV and relaxing.

You’ll love the convenience of the washer and dryer.
