Imagine: You arrive at Bluejay Bay and the first thing you notice is the inviting private hot tub waiting for you on the deck, perfect for unwinding under the stars after your journey. Step inside our luxury mountain chalet just steps to Lake Laura, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame flood the cozy living room with light. Mornings start slow here, as you sip complimentary coffee from at our cozy coffee corner, at the farmhouse table, or out on the patio, surrounded by fresh mountain air and birdsong. Spend quiet moments in the loft’s reading nook or catch up on work at the fully equipped desk. When it’s time for fun, head to the basement for ping pong, foosball, board games, or lounging on the plush sectional while watching the Roku TV or competing on the Playstation. Outside, watch sunsets from the porch swing or gather around the firepit for marshmallow roasting. The charcoal grill awaits to fire up a smoky delight, or the fully equipped kitchen provides all you need to cook in an Insta-worthy setting featuring a farmhouse sink and breakfast island. At day’s end, refresh in spa-inspired bathrooms with powerful waterfall showers and fluffy towels.

What a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. I got to spend my 47th birthday in the house with my boyfriend , my best friend and her boyfriend and our three combined dogs. I especially loved the hot water and water pressure. Hope to visit again.

We had a wonderful quiet weekend getaway. The place looked just like it did in the pictures. Clean & modern kitchens and baths. The beds were very comfortable & well made with fresh linens and towels. All the amenities were there as described and there were lots of board games for one to choose from. We enjoyed our late nights watching the large TV & playing ping pong. Comfortable sofas to lounge on and lovely clean huge decks to enjoy the view. Highly recommend & will definitely love to go back again.

Find us

You are welcome to park in the driveway, either in the sloped section with parking brake applied or pulling in straight at the top of the driveway. You are welcome to also park on the cleared side of the road off Richmon. If it is winter, a 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicle or a vehicle with snow tires is required. If there is snow, we ask that you do not park in the sloped part of the driveway. You may park on road at anytime so long as enough room is left for other cars to be able to pass.
