About this bed and breakfast
Welcome to The Boathouse on The Bay. A comfortable 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom boathouse with a full kitchen and living room overlooking Hay Bay. This 4 season boathouse accommodates up to 5 guests (six guests with pre-approval).
The Boathouse on the Bay is ideally located 2.5 hrs east of Toronto and 2.5 hours south of Ottawa. From the boathouse you're only 40 minutes to the Prince Edward County region, 40 minutes to Kingston and 40 minutes to Belleville. You'll enjoy endless sites and activities in the surrounding areas, including Napanee; only 15 minutes from the boathouse.
No need to pack bed linens or bath towels; we provide you with everything you'll need.
The newly renovated kitchen offers all the comforts of home and is fully equipped with all the cooking and serving pieces you'll need. You'll enjoy all new appliances as well as dual serve coffee maker offering single serve or carafe settings. We also supply coffee, including coffee pods and tea. For your convenience, the kitchen is stocked with basic cooking oils and basic spices. You can expand your cooking experience to the outdoors with the use of the propane BBQ on the boathouse deck.
Relax in the comfortable living room that includes a smart TV with satellite cable, Netflix and WIFI access.
With a southern exposure you’ll enjoy the sun and the breeze on your private deck overlooking the water. Guests are welcome to take advantage of the shoreline and the use of 6 kayaks. The Bay is crystal clear and perfect for swimming. As the water is quite shallow, it supports the growth of water grasses which will brush your legs in the water and we recommend water shoes as it is pebbly underfoot. Guests can take advantage of a designated pebble beach area for lounging by the water and gathering by a bonfire in the evening.
We are dog friendly! Your pup is welcome to run off leash on the property. We kindly ask you to encourage your dog to stay off the furniture and beds and we remind you to bring their favourite blanket or dog bed for their comfort. We have a limit of 2 dog guests and apply a pet fee of $10.00/day.
Enjoy a relaxing getaway and take advantage of the surrounding sites and activities:
• Hay Bay is a premier fishing destination, for both open water and ice fishing, and is home to largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, perch, pike/walleye and lake trout. A public boat launch is conveniently located 2 lots down. Once launched you are welcome to tie your boat at the Boathouse and park your trailer.
• Prince Edward County Wine Region. A 30-minute country drive to the Glenora Ferry delivers you into Picton. This charming town is known for great shopping, art culture and boasts several breweries and wineries to tour.
• Golf. Napanee Golf and Country Club is located less than 15 minutes from the Boathouse. With several golf courses within 30 minutes you can spend your day on the course and return to enjoy a relaxing evening on your lakeside deck.
• Hiking and biking trails. Lennox and Addington County Trails include 12 well marked trails offering easy, moderate and challenging rides.
Please note: Guests must be at least 25 years of age to book.

6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
We recently spent a few nights at this cottage and had a mixed experience. On one hand, the hosts were super friendly and welcoming, even leaving a basket of goodies for us when we arrived. The cottage itself was cozy, beautifully decorated, well-maintained, and stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay.On the other hand, we were really disappointed with the water, which was the main reason we chose this spot. Based on other reviews, we were expecting clean, swimmable water for us and our pup to enjoy. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. The entire shoreline was covered in a thick pile of seaweed that stretched across the beachfront and gave off an unpleasant smell. I tried to clear some of it myself so we could get into the water, but it was just too heavy to move. We were told it would be cleaned up, but nothing changed during our stay, which meant we couldn’t swim or enjoy the water at all. This was a real letdown, since relaxing by and swimming in the water was the whole reason for our trip. In the end, we had to drive to Sandbanks just to enjoy a proper beach day.We also happened to be there during a heatwave, so not being able to cool off in the bay made things worse. While the cottage has AC, the window unit wasn’t strong enough to cool the entire space.All in all, while the cottage and hosts were lovely, the waterfront situation—and lack of follow-through on cleanup—made it hard for us to fully enjoy our stay.
