LODGING
The North Shore has limited hotel capacity, but many homes for weekend rental on HomeAway and AirBnB. Depending on your needs and the experience you’re looking for, we recommend staying in one of these three towns. Transportation details are TBD, but you can presume transportation will be available from Downtown Salem as well as from the Hampton Inn / Springhill Suites / Holiday Inn triangle in Peabody.
MARBLEHEAD
Stay near the lobster bake! Marblehead is a gorgeous, classic New England town with many weekend rentals available.
We recommend getting a weekend rental in Old Town (north of Goldthwait Reservation). There are also boutique hotels in town.
SALEM
Stay near the welcome party! Dining and lodging options are more plentiful in Salem than Marblehead. Enjoy the charming downtown, world-class museums, and all sorts of witches.
PEABODY
Peabody has the most hotels at the most reasonable rates. Peabody is an easy 20 minute drive from Goldthwait Reservation, and we will provide transportation on Saturday.
