About this cottage rental
Relax, Unwind, and Soak In the Magic of the Lake.
Escape to a tranquil, rustic lakefront retreat where spectacular sunsets and peaceful mornings set the tone for your stay. The Purple Martin cottage at The Pier is a cozy studio hideaway for two — perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone craving a quiet reset by the water.
Please note: pets are not allowed.
Nestled at the foot of Canadohta Lake, Pennsylvania’s second‑largest natural lake, this cottage puts you right in the heart of nearly three miles of shoreline and endless outdoor fun. Enjoy fishing, birdwatching, mini golf, roller skating, parks, swimming, pontoon rentals, kayaks, paddleboards, and more. Whether you’re planning a laid‑back vacation or a work‑and‑play getaway, The Pier offers the perfect balance of comfort and nature.
Guests enjoy 100 feet of private lakefront access, complete with wide‑open views and unforgettable sunsets. And just steps away, Ruggles Park offers a small public beach, basketball court, and fishing pier — a great spot to explore. Bring lawn chairs and a cooler to make the most of your lakeside time.
There are no lifeguards on duty.
The Purple Martin Cottage
This charming studio‑style cottage sleeps two and includes:
Twin‑to‑king trundle daybed
1 bathroom
Kitchen with range and refrigerator
Small porch for morning coffee or evening breezes
There’s no TV, encouraging you to truly unplug, but Wi‑Fi is available if you need to stay connected.
Heating is provided by electric radiator‑style heaters and a wall heater in the main room. While there’s no air conditioning, each cottage has a whole‑house fan plus additional circulating fans to keep things comfortable.
The Pier’s water supply is fully potable, treated through a PA DEP‑approved system that is chlorinated, softened, and tested monthly for safety.
Shared Amenities at The Pier
Guests have access to:
Covered pavilion for outdoor dining and picnics
Two charcoal grills (bring your own charcoal)
One propane grill (propane provided)
Two shared fire rings at the lakefront
On‑site parking for one vehicle
Shared dock for launching kayaks and paddleboards
Bring your own kayaks or paddleboards, or rent them locally.
Lifejackets are required on PA Fish & Boat Commission lakes. No lifeguards are present.
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 naturally.
New This Year — On‑Site Café!
Opening late May 2026, our brand‑new café will offer 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.
