9 Best Lighthouse Airbnbs in the US | Condé Nast Traveler

"For a truly unique Berkshire getaway, this lakehouse lighthouse on East Otis Reservoir is a little slice of paradise for water lovers, with a shared dock and easy access to swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Though there’s just one bedroom, the futon accommodates two more guests, making it a cozy fit for a couple, small group, or family. Post-swim barbecues on the grill, sun lounging on the deck chairs, and sunsets over the shimmering lake set the tone, and there’s an outdoor shower, free on-site parking, and a pet-friendly policy." - Jessica Chapel

Love Plum Island! We came in August and we're able to do the lighthouse tour. The beach area is nice, tide can come in fast though! Would definitely come back here.

The lighthouse isn’t even on the water. It’s in a fenced in yard. It probably used to be seen from the water but the town has grow up around it. The only parking near it is a paid parking garage lot. It looks like it’s on private property but we saw a photographer and a family go in for a photo shoot. Definitely not the best lighthouse. But it’s a piece of the history.

This is but a moments diversion from your beach day. It was interesting to see how many times the river and thus the lighthouse has moved. I have been to plum island before and was seeking a little more. We found the lighthouse and a couple of information signs so again about a ten minute experience. The light house was NOT open so it’s a walk around the base and read the sign and on to the next adventure

I wasn't able to enter the lighthouse. It was closed for the season. It is scenic, lights up with a green light and the grounds are maintained. A nice garden is off to the side. If you visit the beach ⛱️, it is a short distance from the beach entrance.

Quiet area. Lots of information on light house. Parking was high for just a few hours 20. We could tell holiday weekend lots of beer cans and trash on beach beautiful area and views

We were here in the winter and there were no tours of the interior available. Still, it is a picturesque setting and if you can go inside on a tour the views must be wonderful. For history buffs, the Plum Island Lighthouse holds stories of maritime adventures and the challenges faced by early keepers. Its presence serves as a living testament to the rich maritime heritage of the region. Informational plaques on-site provide insights into the lighthouse's history and significance.

We came strictly to see the lighthouse.. The website said it was open for viewing.. After driving an hour to get here it was closed.. Never got to see the inside other then to look in the windows
