Excellent place to stay with large family and pets. Huge equipped kitchen, lots of beds, fire rings and lakeside area. Very well maintained and clean. We have stayed here multiple times and will come back again.

Wonderful experience. The house was clean, spacious and cozy. Lots of things to do around the lake. The lake front pavilion and dock really put this place over the top! We will be back for sure.

Thanks for the great review ! We appreciate the kind words and you are 100% correct on the lakefront property ! Definitely sets us apart from the others in the area.
We totally enjoyed our stay at The Blue Jay at Canadohta Lake. It was spotless when we arrived and we felt very welcome. It was our 3rd year in a row staying there and never fails to impress us. From the morning breakfast to the evening campfire every day we loved our stay at The Blue Jay.

We appreciate you guys and hope to have you back again next summer !
We had a great weekend. The cottage is clean. We had plenty of yard space for the dogs and the neighbors are friendly. We got to go for a boat ride on the lake and watch Steeler football at the Frog Pond. Shopping is convenient. Loved nights by the fire pits.
Blue Jay was amazing!!! Everything you need to come and enjoy family time. I am so happy that we found this cabin. The kitchen is perfect for preparing meals and game nights. Beds were very comfortable. The lake side space was so peaceful and perfect for the kids to fish. It was a little to cold to swim but we did enjoy the paddle boat and kayak. We are already planning our next trip!!!
My family and I stayed at The Blue Jay for the weekend to celebrate my grandson's 9th birthday. It was the perfect size for our family, very clean and cozy as well. It provided the perfect space for a weekend getaway for some much needed family time. The large table in the kitchen was perfect for playing games, and we enjoyed sitting around the fire in the evening just enjoying time together. Additionally, some of the family went fishing, used the paddle boat and kayak, and just enjoyed the lake component. Very peaceful. We would definitely stay again!
I would highly recommend this rental! It was like a home away from home, spacious, inviting and memorable. The 2 fire pits/chairs were perfect spots for morning coffee and evening lakeside views. I enjoyed floating around the lake in the paddle boat and the private pavilion was great to play Yahtzee while it rained. We found the ice cream shops to be great for evening snacks and the miniature golf course was fun! We needed a chance to relax, and this was definitely the perfect spot for us!
We had a great week at the Blue Jay, The place was clean and spacious. Well equipped kitchen and the table was wonderful not only for meals but for evening game time. We loved the Gazebo and lakeside access.
From the beautiful location to the exceptional customer service, this place is amazing. The cabin is clearly well loved and well cared for - the family's love for the place is clear and shows in all the details. So relaxing, so quiet, and such a great week.

Nice House Near The Lake
We enjoyed our stay at the blue jay for a long weekend. The boat dock was a quick 5 minute drive and our dog loved swimming there every day. We enjoyed making dinner at the house and night caps on the front porch. A great getaway!

Glad you guys had a good time and enjoyed The Blue Jay as much as we do! You are more than welcome back and look forward to chatting soon. Thanks again.
Property was well equipped inside and outside. Very nice neighbors. Very nice waterfront dock and pavillion. We had not the best weather (rain) but had a good time with family.
This was our third year renting this cabin. Very well equipped and all the room we needed. Every year we find improvements . Would highly recommend this cabin!!!!
So many extras.
We have stayed at this property many times. Each time we are greeted with new updates. The property is clean and well kept, and we keep coming back which is the best compliment in my mind. The owner is readily available and quick to respond if and when needed. Look forward to visiting for many more years to come!
Very clean and well kept property with lots of indoor and outdoor amenities. We were expecting a lakefront on the same property as the house but the access to the lakefront was fine. Enjoyed renting a pontoon and exploring nearby Lake Erie

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.
