There’s something so romantic about lighthouses. The promise of complete and utter solitude, the 360-degree ocean views, and the utterly unique architecture make spending the night in one almost too tempting to resist.
Borden Flats Lighthouse in Fall River is one of the few places you can live out your lighthouse keeper fantasies (I’m not the only one who has those, right?) without signing up for an entire year of isolation.
This incredible lighthouse is located at the mouth of the Taunton River.

It’s been guarding the boats coming in and out of Mt. Hope Bay and Fall River for over 100 years.
