The Lighthouse Woodshed
-Weekly Rentals Only-

The Woodshed is nestled beside the light keeper's house, surrounded on three sides by water and featuring dramatic open sea to the south, Isle au Haut Thorofare views to the north, woods and happy chickens on the east.  Nice private bath.  A full kitchen allows you to provide for your meals.  Also, downstairs is a large living/dining area.  Sleeping quarters are up the spiral stairs:  here you'll find an airy dormered room with a double bed and a terrific water view and an adjacent small study, suitable for vacation projects or an additional guest.  This post and beam was originally used by the lighthouse keepers as a barn and storage building, but it's now snug and cozy with its own heating stove, music system, linens and towels and everything you need for cooking (bring your own provisions or shop at the Island General Store, a mile and a half away by bicycle (or catch a ride on the "Green-machine" or in the outboard with Jeff and Judi on their daily excursions into town to pick up mail), or hook up with one of several island cooks for an incredible catered meal).

Off the road, off the power-grid, and off the map, the Woodshed is powered by solar energy and a windmill.  Our crystal-clear water is extracted from the sea by a generator-driven desalination contraption near the woodshed that rumbles several hours a day, so please help us conserve water and power (and limit the noise) with judicious us of lights and shower.

The weekly rental fee (Monday to Monday) for two includes bicycles, the traditional Keeper's House and all taxes. Woodshed guests arrive on Monday on the 4:00 P.M. mail boat from Stonington, and depart on or before the Noon mail boat the following Monday. Call 1-207-460-0257 for Rates and Availability!
