Walk to the harbor. Wake to salt air. Unplug in a cottage that actually feels like a retreat, not a rented room. Ferry Creek Guest House puts Gloucester's best moments within reach — with comfort, character, and zero chain-hotel predictability.

Why Ferry Creek

We're Not a Hotel. We're the Thing You Remember After the Hotel.

Chain lodges give you a key card and a generic hallway. We give you a real house on a real street, with real neighbors who'll point you toward the best lobster roll in town — and a host who actually cares whether your stay was good.

A Real Home, Not a Corridor

One floor. Real doors. A kitchen you can borrow from for morning coffee. This is a cottage first, a lodging second — and the difference shows.

Walk to the Water in Minutes

Gloucester's harbor, wharf district, and waterfront restaurants are a short stroll away. No shuttle, no parking hunt — just put on shoes and go.

Local Knowledge, No Upsell

We'll tell you where the locals eat, which tide is best for beachcombing, and which trails beat the crowds. No commission, no agenda — just good advice.

Flexible, Personal, Stress-Free

Early flight? Late arrival? We'll work with you. No rigid front-desk hours, no robotic check-in — just a human who wants you settled comfortably.

Location

Right in the Heart of Gloucester

Ferry Creek Cottage & Guest House sits in one of Gloucester's most convenient spots — close enough to walk to the harbor, the wharf, and the downtown dining scene, but quiet enough that you actually sleep.
