Because our wedding falls at the end of the high season in Gloucester, we were unable to formalize an official hotel room block. Accommodation options fill up quickly this time of year. We recommend securing lodging as early as possible if you plan on staying in the area. — Alternative Lodging Airbnb and vacation rentals such as a local house or condo are also a great idea for Cape Ann. Be sure to check platforms like Vrbo and Airbnb — Local Accommodations
