Isle au Haut Lighthouse to be Run as an Inn


3

Isle au Haut - This summer, you may have the chance to spend the night in a lighthouse that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Robinson Point Light Keepers' House on Isle au Haut has been sold.

The new owner plans to run the property as an inn.

Right now, there are no hotels or inns open on the island, so it's expected to boost tourism and provide jobs for island residents.

The 2-acre oceanfront property consists of a 4-bedroom, turn-of-the-century light keeper's house, a guest house, several cottages, a boathouse and a deep water dock.
