About this property
The Blue Jay at Canadohta Lake "Private Lakefront Lot Included"
This beautiful renovated 3 bedroom is located on the quiet side of Canadohta Lake.
Just a 300 foot walk from the 3/4 acre private lakefront property with dock and pavilion and a short drive to the busy side of the lake where you can enjoy the Canadohta Roller Rink, Putt-R-Golf, free beach or the water slide at The Frog Pond.
Plenty of places to eat around the area as well including the The Anchor Bar and Grill, Happy Jax, The Frog Pond, Lana's on the Lake or The Bear Inn. The city of Erie is less than an hour away where you can enjoy all the shopping and adventures your heart can desire.
When all the fun day activities are wrapped up and it's time to unwind, relax by the fire pit while roasting a few marshmallows with friends and family, or hang out by the lake and enjoy the peace and serenity of nature.
No matter where you are coming from The Blue Jay and surrounding areas have something for everyone !

About the host
Hosted by Brandan Lapek
My sister and I are joint owners of The Blue Jay. We inherited the home in 2011. I currently live in Colorado with my wife, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. My sister lives in Mill Village with her husband, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. We both grew up in The Blue Jay on Canadohta Lake.
Why they chose this property
Our grandfather started going to Canadohta Lake in the 1940's and met our grandmother at the Canadohta Roller Rink. They raised 4 boys and 1 girl and spent their summers camping in the small field adjacent to The Blue Jay. They eventually saved up enough money to buy The Blue Jay. A few years later they began to buy a few small cottages in the area and rent them out by the week. When my grandparents became ill, sadly the small cottages had to be sold off to cover medical expenses. The Blue Jay was the last remaining cottage in the family. In 1998 an addition was built onto The Blue Jay to create a year round home. My sister and I were raised in The Blue Jay the majority of our adolescent lives. In 2011 our father passed and we inherited The Blue Jay, becoming 3rd generation owners. We began to remodel The Blue Jay in 2016 and completed in early June 2018. The Blue Jay was officially open for weekly summer rentals mid June 2018. We are thrilled to carry on our grandparent's legacy and get back into the rental business so families like ours can create lasting memories at Canadohta Lake for years to come.
What makes this property unique
The detached 3/4 acre private lakefront property makes The Blue Jay a gem ! It includes a new composite dock for fishing, swimming or tying your boat up, a lakeside firepit and a new covered pavilion for relaxing or having a lake side lunch in the shade.
