Rooms at Lighthaven are now available for booking! Staying on-site makes it easy to attend all three events—LessOnline, Manifest, and the Mystery Summer Camp—while soaking in the community vibe and late-night conversations. (Tickets store is here.)

Book early to secure your spot and settle in for a season of insight, mischief, and meaning.

Q: Why are the prices this high? Should I update that these are the best hotel rooms in the world?

A: Unfortunately not! It's not because these are hotel rooms from heaven, but because the demand is so much higher than supply. Last year we completely sold out, and this year it's looking like there will be about 1 room for every 10 people. Supply has remained constant, and demand has increased, so we have increased prices. We can't fit everyone on site, so these (pretty good) rooms are for those who are willing to pay to sleep on-site.

Is there parking?

We have a very limited number of parking spots. You can ask about parking via the Chat option on this page (bottom-righthand corner). We'll see if there is availability for your period.

We ask people not to park within 2 blocks of the space, to avoid bothering the neighbors.
