Blue Jay Getaway - Cuatro Habitaciones Casa Rural, Capacidad 9

Gather the family and get ready for a lakeside getaway filled with fun, comfort, and togetherness at Blue Jay Getaway, a 4-bedroom cottage on beautiful Clear Lake near Emsdale, Ontario.

From the moment you arrive, this cottage sets the stage for family time. The entry level opens into an entertainment room with a wood stove and walkout to a patio and BBQ—just the spot for a casual family cookout. Upstairs, the kitchen and dining area make it easy to share meals, while the living room and adjoining screened sunroom provide cozy spaces for games, movie nights, or quiet evenings together. This level also features two bedrooms (including one with an ensuite) and a bathroom with a large spa tub—ideal for parents to enjoy a little relaxation while the kids are tucked in.

The lower level is where the kids and teens will claim their territory. With two more bedrooms, including a bunk room (single over double), plus a pool/ping-pong table and a basketball free-throw game, it’s a space designed for friendly competition and plenty of laughter. A 3-piece bathroom with washer and dryer rounds out this level, making longer family stays convenient.

Outdoors, there’s something for everyone. Parents can unwind in the private sauna or on the expansive deck while the kids explore the shoreline. The gentle, hard-packed sandy entry makes swimming safe and fun for little ones, while older kids can jump off the dock, sun on the waterfront decking, or help paddle the lake.

When it’s time to venture out, there are plenty of family-friendly activities nearby. In Burk’s Falls, discover small-town charm with unique shops and local treats, while Huntsville offers a vibrant mix of restaurants, galleries, and festivals. Outdoor-loving families can explore hiking trails at Arrowhead or Algonquin Provincial Parks, or spend the day biking, golfing, or paddling.

With so many ways to play, relax, and connect, Blue Jay Getaway is a place where lasting family memories are made.
