Travel Fantasy: Lighthouse
Would you like to spend the night in a lighthouse? The Saugerties Lighthouse, a couple hours north of New York City, has two cozy guest rooms. You hike a half mile through the woods to reach it, and then you can sit on the water, relax and drink wine in the evening. The town of Saugerties also has great restaurants, so you could go out to dinner and then sneak back through the woods at night!
P.S. More travel fantasies...
(Thanks, Momfilter)

Aww..sounds like a perfect summer weekend:) There is something super special about lighthouses that I adore. They always seem so mysterious to me. Kisses, Joanna
I stumbled upon that place accidentally once with my friends! We were driving through (coming back from Woodstock, NY), and stopped in the area to go for a hike. What a nice surprise to see this post!
So beautiful! What a cool location, and place to live. Thanks for sharing!
really charming, especially the part about hiking to get there. that's a true escape :)
What a wonderful place. Wishing I had known about it before I left NY.
Looks beautiful<3 Althought athmosphere don't look much different then in some places here in the Netherlands:)
It looks magical. I've always loved lighthouses. Thanks for the post.
I love this lighthouse. My husband and I stayed there for his birthday on 10/10/10 and it's where I told him I was pregnant. Be warned - sneaking back through the woods at night is a little scary!
Wow this is amazing. Such a perfect weekend getaway!
This is such a lovely spot. We stayed here in April 2010, and it was so cozy. You can also bring groceries and cook for yourselves in the kitchen, which is what we did. It books up very fast -- we waited almost a year for our reservation!
Wow! How awesome is this?? I love all the neat things you find. I like daydreaming with your blog.
Well, this whole travel fantasies label has made me drool sufficiently.
this is a real Dream...
Beautiful lighthouse! I would have never seen that, so thank you for sharing! I love little virtual vacactions too!

This looks amazing! Are you gonna go?
If I could i would so move there!
There really is something so dreamy about a light house...
Looks like an amazing escape. But it also looks haunted! That's what I think when I see old building like that. So romantic but likely inhabited with a ghost or two. Silly, I know. :)
What a dreamy getaway! You'd feel so secluded...
Hmm, glad I've seen that just before bedtime - sweet dreams of living there!
So romantic!
Oh my god, I'm in love. I will have to venture out to Saugerties before I leave the city.
wow thats so magical

Come and enter my $150 Giveaway from Dr Perricone!
My wife and I went a few years ago - it's so great. They have (or had) kayaks for you to use, and the lighthouse keeper makes you breakfast!
Looks amazing! xx
Oh wow, it's like a dream! So pretty!
you should check out Beacon - it's about 40 minutes north of NYC and has a ton of cute shops and galleries. It's also home to the Hudson Valley's best burger, Poppy's, and DIA art gallery on the Hudson.
Wow, this is great! My Mom who loves all things lighthouse would flip at chance to stay at one!
This is such an awesome place. xoxoxo
or for a small price of $5000.00 you can buy yur own light house on the coast of Staten Island:http://gothamist.com/2010/08/17/want_to_buy_a_lighthouse.php#photo-1
How lovely. I'd like to go right now.
Looks like a really relaxing vacation! I like the hiking idea.

Joanna, I have been there! I live in Kingston, NY which is about 15 minutes from the lighthouse. I haven't stayed there, but I've gone there to have a little picnic on the island. Someday I'd love to be a guest! How romantic, right?
Oh my goodness, that sounds like the PERFECT weekend away!!
I totally want to live in a lighthouse. I even put it into my blog profile info haha
Random comment Joanna but I thought you'd love this idea. Today when fixing lunch for my Mother and I, instead of using mayo for our tuna sandwiches, I replaced it with an incredibly ripe avocado! You still get that creamy consistency but with non of the (bad) fat! We dressed the open face sandwiches with a touch of olive oil and fresh oregano from our garden. Though I'd do my civic duty and let you know about my new delicious discovery!
I'd love to stay in a lighthouse... when I was looking at hostels for my travels earlier in the year, I came across a few that were actually lighthouses as well. Super cool, and probably cheaper than these fancy ones. (If you're willing to give up the nicest sheets and breakfast for a cool, cheaper experience, I say go that route!)
I’d love to spend a night or several in a lighthouse! I was actually looking at it as an option for my honeymoon but we ended up staying next to a beautiful river that led to a private beach.

How insanely dreamy!!!! I'm going to think about it in a happy little place for a while now! Lol.
that is incredibly beautiful. i can't even imagine what a dream that would be!
Ooo! Please post more getaway places outside of NYC. (in woods or on water or in charming small towns)
I'll never get sick of indulging in travel fantasies .. thanks for adding a new spot! One of my favourite things to do is ponder all the places I could go if I ever won the lottery. This one would get a run I'm sure.
Joanna! My name is Linh and I was at the BHLDN event earlier tonight. I saw you at the very end and was so shocked I didn't know what to say...so I admired you from afar. I can't believe I got to see you in person! You are even more darling and beautiful than ever :) I am on the managing team for our first store in Houston and told all the managers about you and this amazing blog you have. Anyhow, thanks again for coming out and I hope to see you at other events in the future! :)

love. love. LOVE! Now I cannot stop thinking about going there. Thanks for sharing... :)
What a great location! Of course I would love to do that, it looks so charming. Does it still work as a lighthouse?
Love,
Nancy
i don't think it's a working lighthouse but it still has that awesome nautical vibe xo
I have had the Saugerties Lighthouse on my list of places to visit for so long now, I really need to make it happen soon! Sounds like such a romantic getaway.
Yes, please! Sitting by the water, enjoying the evening, sipping on wine sounds like bliss.
This looks like a little slice of heaven, sitting staring at the water!

Oh my gosh this just hit the nail on the head! what a perfect get away!
I was just here a few weeks ago! Friends got married in the Catskills, and we decided to go on a random hike (with no idea that a lighthouse was at the end!) It was high tide, so we waded the last bit, but it was worth it! Also, there were jumping fish all over the place! A wonderful random outdoor adventure to be sure.
Those look gorgeous!!! How fun would it be to spend the night in a lightbouse?!
Oh my God this house!!
Thanks SO much for sharing! Just in time for me to book a night for my husband and my 3rd anniversary in the Spring! LOVE IT!
What a great place to spend the weekend!
First of all, its been 20 min I m surfing ur blog and found very interesting. Gr8 job! I too interested in traveling. So loved dis blog. Travel in India is certainly became a boom and OTA's are doing a fab job for travelers. I found cheap air tickets booking or bus booking online is very convenient for me. Keep blogging. All d best
Fantastic!!
Reminds me of Scotland! We lived there for a summer. Scotland has over 2,000 castles and several that you can spend the night in.
We browsed this website for hours:

Cool shots, I think it could be a great experience to spend a night in a lighthouse, specially if it is an old one.
