I had bought our stay at this lighthouse as a surprise birthday gift to my other half. I tried to pack everything that I could think of while she was working and once she got home I drive us to Fall River, Ma. For her B day gift Once at the parking area where I was told to park we were met by the owner of this beautiful B&B who soon loaded us into a boat with our items to bring (foods, drinks, cloths), and brought us out to his lighthouse. Once out into the river my better half soon saw where we heading. Once we docked at the lighthouse we were told the history of the place as well as photos of what it looked like when the Coast Guard sold the property to him and all of the work that he put into the lighthouse to make it such a beautiful place to stay. Once we were shown how to work everything from the generator , ( the USCG took out all of the electrical cables prior to the sale, you would think that it would cost them more to tear it all out rather then leaving it for the new owners and getting more money from the sale but unfortunately that was not to be.) So, as long as you have a lot of l.p. bottles for the heaters if needed during your stay and understand that this B& B stay keeps you by yourselves and you can not leave until the pick up time so make sure that you bring some wine, waters, sodas, beers, etc. foods to grill on the grill on the deck and a great partner you WILL LOVE the stay as I did. The work that was done made this lighthouse beautiful, the bedroom is right under the USCG's warning beacon which you can go up to see and walk outside at the top to see the boating teaffic, wave and then look towards the huge bridge for Rt 95 you will see another place to visit, that is once your ride comes back. The.battleship USS MASSACHUSETTS is docked right up the river along with a sub and another Navy shop as a floating museum to visit. It was pretty neat to sit on the decks of the lighthouse and wave, not only to the boaters but also those visiting the Battleship Cove and think of the history of not only these ships but also that of the area and oh yes, that infamous young lady, Lizzy Bordon whom it seems may have used a ax to kill her parents. So you can read, relax, wave away, stroll through the lighthouse and wonder how a family would have lived like this or you can watch some DVD movies or sip some wine, etc. No matter what you do you will be amazed at the work done and the continous maintenance needed to keep this lighthouse B&B up to the shape that it is in and you can not help but enjoy the quiet time that you will share on this little rock island.
