Is there an adequate method of indoor venting for a Clothes Dryer when outdoor venting is not possible?

I have a very old house that I recently put a Washer and dryer in. There's no basement, and it's a single floor house. The only place to put the washer/dryer was in a storage area nowhere near a outdoor wall. The dryer is a small, inexpensive Electric Dryer, and I bought an indoor vent water trap to keep the lint and moisture under control. Unfortunately the moisture isn't well controlled. There's condensation covering my windows and it feels like a sauna throughout the house even with a single load. Running vent tubing outside would have to go up through the ceiling and out a side wall, running about 30', which I'm told is inadvisable due to large fire risk with lengthy tubing.

Vertical venting for a dryer is rather normal. In my house, the vent goes straight up through the attic to an exhaust fitting on the roof, more or less like the bathroom vents. For a single story house, it's much less than 30 ft.

Regardless what you do, check your local building codes. If you are out of compliance, it can affect your homeowner's insurance, i.e. a fire blamed on out-of-code venting might not be covered.
