Plan your visit

Plan this as a lodging visit. Reserve directly with the property and ask whether any history tour, ghost experience, or special room request needs a separate booking. A room reservation does not automatically include a paranormal tour.

Ask about transport, weather cancellations, stairs, and which parts of the vessel or lighthouse are accessible. A coastal viewpoint does not imply permission to enter the structure.
