In Transit Blog: A Maine Lighthouse Welcomes Guests

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 29 April 2014 | 17.35

For the first time, the Cuckolds — a pair of granite islands a half mile off the coast of Southport Island, Maine — will be open to guests for overnight stays beginning June 27.

The two-suite luxuriously decorated Inn at Cuckolds Lighthouse is inside the 19th-century lighthouse, affording 360-degree ocean views.

A group of local citizens, the Cuckolds Fog Signal and Light Station Council, rescued the property from demolition and restored it over the last decade, restoring the light tower and rebuilding the keeper's house and boathouse to historical specifications, while adding modern materials and building techniques to the inside.

Local and regional businesses donated building materials, design expertise and other resources. The nonprofit Cuckolds Council owns and manages the island.

Guests, who may rent a room or the entire property, will be transported to the Cuckolds in a restored Navy motor whaleboat.

Resident lighthouse keepers will welcome visitors to the island, provide tours of the fully preserved historic Light Tower, serve as concierges and hosts to overnight guests, and help maintain and protect the island and Station.

The innkeepers prepare a full breakfast for guests, and serve afternoon tea each day in the parlor. Lunch and dinner reservations can be made at local restaurants and nearby inns or provided on-island from a selected menu at an additional cost.

Suite rates are $350 to $500 a night with a two-night minimum, while renting the entire private island costs $2,500 to $3,000.
