Select Condition 
Book Overview
Lighthouses have safeguarded and decorated the scenic shores of North America for hundreds of years. But even among those that still stand as beacons in the fog, only a few invite people to stay the night. Staying at a Lighthouse visits these unique overnight havens, offering an inside look at these romantic and inspiring landmarks. Whether it operates as a grand bed-and-breakfast inn or as a more rustic hostel, a lighthouse enables guests to retreat from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Some even allow visitors to assume the role of lighthouse keeper for a short time. But they all provide a unique experience that is renewing and memorable. This book helps readers step back in time at coastal towers on the East Coast, the West Coast, and along the Great Lakes. Information in each profile includes a history of the lighthouse and the area, background of the present-day keepers, and a description of the accommodations and the guest experience, plus all pertinent practical details--address, phone number, e-mail address, directions, seasons of operation, rates, and more. Beautiful color and archival photographs of the featured lighthouse inns enhance this terrific little guide.

Bought as a gift

I got this for a gift for my mom, with whom I share a long history of travels both on and to the sea including some terrific lighthouses on the North Carolina coast. Her health and age plus my role as mommy do not allow us to do much travelling anymore, so this gift was meant to be of special significance, standing in for those dream trips we always say we are going to take someday even though we both know that day may never come. She just loved this book, especially the beautiful photographs. Neither one of us had ever heard of lighthouses that were now available for tourist lodging. Now we are planning that next trip in earnest because we have something concrete to look at along with helpful info and contact details. We still may never get to go, but our fantasizing has become more fun and exciting. For that gift to both of us, I am deeply grateful.
