#saugerties lighthouse

I always thought that a lighthouse keeper was so lucky, but the keepers of the Saugerties, New York Lighthouse beg to differ. Well, they do get to live in this simple beautiful lighthouse. 

Patrick & Anna work every day of the year as historians, curators, docents, bookkeepers, grant writers, and bed and breakfast managers. I think that they only take 2 adults at a time in the B&B, though. 

The actual beacon would be my favorite part of the house.

Patrick says that the lighthouse basement is wet and dank. It floods at high tide and he calls it the “dimly-lit depths of the lighthouse–the belly of the beast.” He dons knee-length waterproof boots, rubber gloves, and particle masks to remove a cracked and corroded pot-belly stove, a rusty furnace, old pipes, and some unrecognizable globs of wet trash. He also did some repairs on the composter.

The living room has a cozy little stove and look at the old gramophone. 

Check out the kitchen. The vintage fridge still works. 

And, look at the original stove.

Antique drainboard sink.

Here’s a cute little nook.

All of the rooms are simple and lovely.

This room has a beautiful view of the water.

It’s a lovely place to live.

The old signal bell.
