After a difficult couple of days for so many in our community, our doors are back open tonight at 4pm.

If you’ve been without power, cleaning up after the storms, or simply need a break, we’d love to welcome you to Lighthouse. Come cool off inside, enjoy dinner on the patio overlooking Cedar Lake, or spend a little time relaxing on the beach.

We know there’s still a lot of work ahead for many of our neighbors. For tonight, we hope Lighthouse can be a place to step away from it all for a bit.

We’ll see you at 4 pm.

Set on the shores of Cedar Lake, Lighthouse offers more than a meal—it offers a moment. A place where culinary craftsmanship meets the calm of the water, and every gathering feels touched by light.
