AIRBNBS
Airbnbs are also a great option. If you choose this route, please ensure you have transportation to the hotels for bus departures and are mindful of check-in times. Uber rides from downtown Gloucester to Crane Estate typically range between $30–$40.
If you need assistance coordinating your Airbnb location for travel logistics, feel free to reach out to Tora or Dean for help.
Hotels
We recommend booking your hotel/airbnb by March/April 2025, as this area is a popular vacation destination and accommodations fill up quickly.
Hotels are conveniently located in downtown Gloucester, within a 20-minute walk of each other or just a 4-minute drive.
In the image below, the recommended Gloucester Hotels are shown, with the red dot marking where the transportation will pick guests up.
For those arriving from Logan Airport, it's a 51-minute drive to Gloucester, or you can take a train from North Station, which takes about 1 hour and 17 minutes.
