Bluebird Cottage: Cozy Rustic Lakefront Escape at The Pier, Perfect for 6!


A Lakefront Escape Designed for Pure Relaxation

Step into your own slice of lakeside paradise. Guests enjoy 100 feet of private shoreline, perfect for morning coffee by the water, lazy afternoons in the sun, and unforgettable sunset views that paint the sky in gold and rose.

Right next door, Ruggles Park adds even more to explore — a community beach, basketball court, and fishing pier make it a natural playground for families, friends, and anyone who loves the outdoors. (Pack a cooler and grab a lawn chair to make the moment even sweeter.)

Please note: pets are not permitted, and there are no lifeguards on duty.

Comfortable, Simple, and Made for Unplugging
The Bluebird Cottage includes:
• 2 bedrooms (1 full bed + 1 twin bunk)
• Pull out sofa for extra sleeping space
• 1 bathroom
• Kitchen with range and refrigerator
• Cozy porch for sunrise coffee or evening breezes
• A TV although we encourage you to disconnect

Heating comes from electric radiator heaters in each bedroom and a wall heater in the main room. For warm days, a whole house fan and additional circulating fans keep the cottage cool and comfortable.

Shared Amenities at The Pier
Guests enjoy access to a variety of outdoor spaces designed for gathering, cooking, and relaxing:
• Covered pavilion for picnics and outdoor meals
• Two charcoal grills (bring your own charcoal)
• One propane grill (propane provided)
• Two shared fire rings right at the lakefront
• On site parking for one vehicle
• Shared dock for launching kayaks and paddleboards

Bring your own gear or rent locally — just remember that lifejackets are required on PA Fish & Boat Commission lakes. As always, no lifeguards are present.

The Pier’s water supply is fully potable, treated through a PA DEP approved system that’s chlorinated, softened, and tested monthly for safety.

Perfect for Families, Friends, and Gatherings
Planning a reunion, retreat, or celebration? With four additional cottages just steps away, The Pier is ideal for groups who want to stay close while still enjoying their own private spaces. It’s the kind of place where memories come easily.

New This Year — On Site Café!
Opening late May 2026, our brand-new café will serve sweet and savory treats, coffee, and tea in a warm, welcoming space just a few steps from your cottage door. It’s the perfect way to start your morning or wind down after a day on the lake.

Come visit us and enjoy the peaceful beauty of Canadohta Lake — we’d love to host you!
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Great stay

The bluebird cottage was perfect for a couple and small child. It was clean and quaint, and right next to the lake with a small beach access that my toddler loved to play in. Communication was excellent and attentive.

Bluebird at The Pier

Everything was super easy, the cabin was fairly recently renovated, and the owners were handy every day since they're working on a future Cafe, (which will be very convenient when finished!)Highly recommended!

Canadohta Lake weekend

Very nice area righ next to the lake. The Bluebird cottage was relly cute with many details and have all we needed for our stay. Also has a shared covered pavilion, BBQ area, fire pit and seating area. We stayed only for the weekend but would love to stay longer. We had a great time!

Great place for a quick weekend getaway

We spent the weekend with friends (who already have a place on the lake). So this was conveniently located and just what we needed for a weekend stay. Although considered “rustic” per the listing, it had everything we needed. The whole house fan kept things nice and cool at night. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable, good water pressure in the shower, and plenty of amenities. It was also super clean and host was very communicative and considerate.
