Borden Flats Lighthome

WELCOME FUTURE LIGHT KEEPERS!
We are fully operational and thrilled to offer our guest Light Keepers the ability to enjoy this one-of-kind, bucket list experience. We are dedicated to keeping the Light as safe and sanitized as possible for our guests’ comfort and enjoyment.
Thanks to all for your continued support during this very difficult crisis, which has sadly touched so many lives.
Thanks to your support, our last 3 seasons have been
complete sell-outs - and we are currently booking 1 year in
advance and the 2021 season is selling out faster than ever before... so please don't delay!

*** SPECIAL NOTICE TO OUR GUEST LIGHT KEEPERS***
We are following CDC protocols with cleaning & sanitizing. The lighthouse is a private home and as I am sure you are doing the best in keeping your homes safe, we are doing the same. However, we are asking future guests to please use respect and etiquette - if you have had contact with anyone, or suffering any symptoms of Covid-19, we will be happy to reschedule your stay to next season.
We are also asking our guests, if you are concerned at all with the safety of your visit, simply request to reschedule to a future date. Also, if you’d prefer, you are welcomed to bring your own linens, pillows, kitchenware, etc.
Keep in mind, it’s a vacation home, and along with going to supermarkets, retail stores or your workplace, you are at risk no matter where you travel. We feel the Lighthouse, with its isolation, is and has been one of the safest places to be throughout this crisis.
If you feel at all unsafe staying with us, we totally understand and recommend rescheduling to next season. We so look forward to having you as our honorary Light Keepers and thank you again for supporting BFL!

"A lighthouse is a welcoming structure, a reassuring sign of steady ground ahead, an optimistic symbol of hope for all looking to move forward safely. It is an emblem of strength located at the edge of unpredictable seas as it provides guidance and light among the darkest of nights. Resilient and immovable, this shining beacon encourages perseverance even in the most treacherous of storms." -Anonymous

     Located at the northern end of Mt. Hope Bay, between Somerset and Fall River, Massachusetts, Borden Flats Lighthouse, circa 1881, still shines in all her glory, and is available for overnight stays to experience the role of an historic Lighthouse Keeper, through our Light Keepers Overnight Educational Program.
Our Light Keepers Program offers the public the ability to take part in a one-of-a-kind overnight experience, living the role of a 19th century Lighthouse Keeper.
           With your role as an honorary Light Keeper, you will have the ability to become a living part of history in one of America's ONLY offshore "spark plug" lighthouses that is fully restored and and offered to the public for a truly unique overnight experience.
     Your overnight Keeper stay serves as your contribution to the ongoing preservation of this historic landmark, which is proudly listed on the National Registry of Historic Places
by the National Park Service.
      We so look forward to having you as our
honorary Light Keepers...

We are extremely proud to have been featured in a story written by one of New England's foremost historians on New England Lighthouses,
Mr. Allan Wood.
We were blessed to have Allan and his wife experience a recent stay at our Lighthouse and he came away with such a memorable experience, he chose to write a truly interesting blog which can be found on his website, nelights.com, where he features his award-winning photography, historical lighthouse stories and is the best resource guide to discovering New England's coastal communities through its "beacons."
