Driving Directions
If using GPS or smartphone maps/direction apps, use the address 37 Niles Pond Road, Gloucester, MA 01930.
From Interstate 95 (North or South), take the exit for Route 128 North-Gloucester. Stay on 128 North to the very end. Enter a rotary and take the second exit. Enter a second rotary and take the second exit.
Driving down the hill, stay in the right-hand lane until you reach a traffic light. Drive straight through the the traffic light to another set of lights. Continue straight on this road, which becomes East Main Street. Follow this narrow, curvy road along the harbor for 1.1 miles. Just past Niles Beach on your right, the main road heads to the left and becomes Farrington Ave. Do NOT take this, but instead stay along the coast, passing through two large stone pillars onto Eastern Point Road.
After about .3 mile, Eastern Point Road becomes the one-way Eastern Point Boulevard. Drive approximately .8 mile and turn left onto Toronto Ave (Do not go between the pillars marked “Lighthouse/Yacht Club.”) Drive another .1 mile and take a sharp right between two stone pillars onto Niles Pond Road.
Bear left at the minor fork to reach the Retreat House. Upon entering the grounds, stay right and park in the lot at the far right of the building, which is the retreat wing. If the lot is full, park around the circle.
Helpful suggestions from previous retreatant for return trip to Logan airport: (07/28/23)
"My Uber driver from the Gloucester train station to the retreat house suggested that on my return trip that I get off/on at the Chelsea station instead of going to the North Station due to the closed tunnels, construction and the horrible traffic. Taking an Uber from Chelsea was much faster to the airport and cheaper too."
