Your innkeepers
The Coolidge Corner Guest House was founded in 1995 by Cheryl and Hyman Deletetsky, who carefully preserved this 100-year-old historic home and searched for the antique furniture and Victorian decorations that give each room its unique appeal.
Now in its second generation of family ownership, the inn is owned and operated by Cheryl’s son, Shawn, a Brookline native who is happy to offer tips on sightseeing, shopping and dining around Boston and Coolidge Corner, not to mention family-friendly activities for out-of-town visitors.
