Bed & Breakfast in a Lighthouse Offers Trip Back to Simpler Life

In this modern period where it’s noisy and revelrous everywhere, a lighthouse in Isle Au Haut in a town in Knox County, Maine, United States, offers a bed and breakfast to visitors that trips them back to a time where there cellphones and iPods and iPads were not in existence yet. It only allows the visitors to hear the serenity of the place around and the waves lapping on the rocks. They can also experience truly a time back then when they will have limited electricity, no flat screen Tvs, Jacuzzi and have “homemade water” purified from the Atlantic Ocean–indeed a virtual trip back in time and experience of a simpler way of life.

The lighthouse is called the Robinson’s Point lighthouse, Maine’s only lighthouse. It was built in 1907 in that remote island 6 miles from the mainland. The B&B called, the Keeper’s House closed down 5 years ago and was purchased by Dr. Marshall Chapman. Chapman is a geology professor who returns to the area every summer and said that he didn’t want to see the house go dark. Marshall and his staff have worked hard to open for guests next month and he said the experience will show that, “Life can be lived in a simpler way.”

Visitors will travel from the mainland on a mailboat, then be picked up by Chapman in a 1928 Model A Ford. The point of a stay at the Keeper’s House is to unplug and focus on the beautiful surroundings. He assured the visitors of the lighthouse that the maelstrom of constant people wanting a piece of them from either of their gadgets will be gone. Julie Greenberg, who is a caretaker along with her husband Tracy, loves the peace the place brings out and says that lying in bed and listening to the waves is pretty idyllic.
