LODGING: General Suggestions from Past Participants
(see below for specific lodging recommendations)
Begin your search early
- Start early and explore several options.
- Book early, ask about kitchen facility, ability to prepare meals.
- Read reviews on reputable websites.

Suggestions re: type of accommodation
- Rent a home; share if possible; negotiate rent.
- Network with other participants to stay in a house.
- Book a cottage or a B&B.
- I loved being in a cottage and being able to cook; it gave flexibility for meals.

Suggestions about location of lodging
- Stay close to the seminar location.
- Being situated in Eastham provides quick access to seminar in morning and lots of options in the area and great beach choices- bay or ocean side.
- Get a place on the bike trail.
- We were not sure where everything was located prior to coming. In the future, we would get closer to the beach.
- Everything is easy to navigate if you have a car; there are lots of great selections.
- Research the distance from the lodging to location of training as there may be a number of lodgings at a variety of costs within close proximity. 
Note: See comments below regarding locations outside of Eastham.

OUTSIDE OF EASTHAM
- I rented a 1 bedroom cottage in Harwich; it was advertised in New York Catholic. I was very satisfied.
- I stayed at Captain Bearse's B&B in YarmouthPort. Very nice place, but too far from the conference.
- I stayed at Ocean's Edge in Brewster. Very relaxing, lovely location, great amenities, but a bit of a drive.
- Consider Provincetown: We were one block from the water, had a beautiful condo with full kitchen for less than last year's motel.  It allowed walking to shops and food instead of driving, which was very restful. There was a little traffic on the way back from the seminar, but otherwise it was perfect
