Hummingbird Cottage: Cozy Rustic Lakefront Escape at The Pier, Perfect for 7

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 Hummingbird Cottage includes:
• 2 bedrooms (1 full bed + 1 twin/full 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.

Great experience!

We stayed at the lake for a mini family reunion and everything was great! Location was fantastic…within walking distance of Frog Pond. House had everything that we needed for the stay. The pavilion was an added bonus to the property. I would highly recommend staying at this property. Looking for great pizza give The Anchor a try👍

Little piece of Heaven

We really enjoyed our stay at the hummingbird cabin. The host was quick to respind to any concerns or questions. The neighbor's were sweet and welcoming. The restaurant down the lake was a great vibe for everyone. We had 2 adults 2 teens and 2 kids and we slept comfortably. 10/10 would stay here again.

Beautiful little cabin on the lake

Hidden Jewel on Lake Canadoha! The property was impeccably clean, and everything that was included worked perfectly. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. But what truly stole the show was the setting itself. The location on the lake was breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly peaceful. It was exactly the tranquility we were searching for. We sincerely hope to be able to return and stay here again in the future. Thank you so much, Tamara, for your hospitality!

Beautiful and right on the lake! The sunsets were amazing and it was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed every minute of it! Walking distance for most people to Happi Jax and the Frog Pond. We also enjoyed putt putt golf at two different spots! We rented kayaks and a pontoon boat as well. It was wonderful!
