Stay at the Saugerties Lighthouse

And the winners are Peggy Lampman of Claverack
and Ginger Gellman Bliss of Rutland, Vermont.
Congratulations to them and thank you to all who supported this fundraiser.

“Lighthouses capture the imagination in ways few buildings can. They hark back to
an era when nautical travel reigned and time moved at a slower knot…As special as
these buildings are, even more uncommon is the privilege of staying in one overnight.”                                                                                                                                     – – –  The New York Times

Like the Eleanor, the Lighthouse is on the National Registry of Historic Places. In 1834 the U.S. Congress appropriated $5,000 for a lighthouse at the mouth of the Esopus Creek. It was required to guide ships away from nearby shallows and into the Esopus Creek when Saugerties was a major port with daily commercial and passenger transportation. Read more about its history and specifications and watch the video documentary A Light on the Hudson on the Lighthouse website.

The Lighthouse begins taking reservations for April through December in early January, and for January through March in early June. Priority is s given to Gift Certificate holders and members of the Saugerties Lighthouse Conservancy. Loyal guests have the option of booking ahead for the next year. There is a two-room or two-night minimum on Friday and Saturday.
