About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Cornell

Host profile image
I grew up in Connecticut and now split my time between California and the Connecticut shoreline. By profession I’m a Neurology Physician Assistant, but one of my greatest passions is creating beautiful, welcoming spaces where families and friends can relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories. I hope you love Lucky 8 Camp as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

There’s something special about the Niantic River. I love that guests can walk to the water, launch a kayak just down the street, bike into downtown Niantic, or spend the day exploring nearby beaches, Mystic, or the casinos. It’s peaceful, scenic, and close to everything that makes Connecticut’s shoreline such a wonderful destination. Plus, Great Wolf Lodge is just a short drive away for year-round family fun.

What makes this property unique

Lucky 8 Camp combines the charm of a classic New England beach house with thoughtful modern updates. Families love the upstairs bunk-style sleeping area, game room, fully equipped kitchen, and cozy fireplace. With river access just steps away and beaches, Mystic, and Niantic nearby, it’s the perfect home base for every season—from summer beach days to cozy winter weekends.
