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.

Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Leslie O.
