4 nights at Lighthouse Landing Camp

We had a great time at Light House Landing! We celebrated our 6th anniversary at the cabin and it was a great experience, we woke up every morning to a beautiful sunrise on the lake! Jim, Alyssa and Fran have created such a welcoming environment and were great hosts (like texting to tell us turtles were hatching on the beach one morning or showing us how to feed the chickadees). The cabins were very nice, clean and on the water. We would highly recommend this little slice of paradise

Queen size bed, exterior view.

Screened in Add-a-room provides additional chill space, outdoors (extra chairs and table can be provided).

Such a cute little spot and totally reasonable price! Sara was super responsive and helpful answering any questions. Not the best spot for someone with accessibility needs as there is a bit of a hill to get to most of the sites and the bathroom, but even as someone with slight mobility issues it was manageable. The view is gorgeous. Will definitely be returning.

We loved camping at Sara's campsite! Sara was very responsive and helpful, and the site was a short walk from a beautiful little beach. Of note, the campsites are all up a steep hill which could make it challenging for those with mobility issues.

Weekend Trip to Long's Lake Vista ~ Loft, Tent, Van

Nice spot for hammock/tent camping. Cleared spots, along with very little underbrush. Hardest part is getting up the initial hill from the parking area. Shower was nice and easy to use and was refreshing with how hot it was when we were there. If visiting in July bring bug nets/spray. The mosquitoes are hungry. Sara gave good instructions for the site. We didn’t have any issues, just in and out.

4 nights at Lighthouse Landing Camp

I struggle to find the right words to describe what an AMAZING time I experienced at Lighthouse Landing. The location is beautiful, with an abundance of wildflowers, pristine waterfront access steps away from any location on the property, and cabins that provide the right balance between comfort and practicality. More importantly, Jim, Alyssa, Asher and Fran (Granny) make the place what it is, Superb! They are friendly, inviting, caring, thoughtful and kind. Somehow they get the balance right between being available to ensure your enjoyment and providing an environment of peace and privacy. My five days four night at this location reminded me of the healing powers of nature, a beautiful setting, and amazing hosts.
