About this house rental
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.

The Boat house was the perfect choice for a family vacation. The house is beautiful. So much fun Paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing were all excellent. We traveled with our dogs who give it 10/10 paws up. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind

The Boat House was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The hosts are so friendly and professional, they made the stay very easy.
The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, the view of the bay from the living room is so peaceful.
We couldn't asked for anything more!
Thank you for a great stay.

Back for a second time at the delightful Boathouse. Lisa and Glen are so welcoming. Everything was perfect - especially the air conditioning which kept us comfortable as the heat dome settled in. A+++

First off, the owners; Lisa and Glen are wonderful, so friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our mini vacation in their gorgeous Boathouse. It had everything we needed and more. The view is awesome and so relaxing. We loved sitting by the fire with our sons and playing charades like we did when they were little :)
We will definitely be booking again in the near future.

Absolutely beautiful location right on the lake. House was very clean and felt right at home. Was fully stocked with everything we needed. We loved swimming and kayaking on the lake. Exploring the nearby attractions and just relaxing. Lisa & Glen were wonderful hosts, extremely pleasant and responsive. Definitely had a super relaxing stay.

Property had a lot of outdoor space. Able to play touch football with the kids. Dogs enjoyed their freedom as well

This holiday house was such a find with its elevated living overlooking the lake and easy access into the water from the small beachfront or jetty. This place was 'home from home' with a generous welcome pack and well stocked pantry that showed care and consideration for guests. Bedroom space was perfect for us with teen kids and really loved the open plan living space and picture window views. Definitely recommend staying here.

The boathouse was a perfect location to bring our 20 ft open bow boat. It fit perfectly in the boat slip with the outboard tilted up a bit. Very well protected from the swells of a nasty west wind one day. Probably a bit shallow for an I/O boat. Easy boat ramp 2 doors down. Glenn and Lisa were FABULOUS hosts. Was an easy 45 min to Kingston and Gananoque. Super peaceful and relaxing. Had everything we needed. Would book again in a heartbeat

Travelling thousands of kilometres from Toronto to Quebec it was great to have 4 night relaxing by the lake. A welcomed rest from the cities on route.

Lisa & Glen were wonderful hosts, and the boathouse is a perfect destination for a relaxing getaway.
Pictures are a perfect representation, and the views are stunning from inside and outside overlooking Hay Bay.
Comfy beds, super clean, and lots of nice touches that show they really care about their guests.
Would both recommend and return!

Our party of 3 seniors and 2 small pups were delighted with Lisa’s and Glen’s Boathouse. Not only were our hosts so welcoming and helpful - never had we enjoyed such a super variety of snacks and wine as we did here! - but made booking and check-in seamless, and were immediate in addressing any further needs, questions, etc. And they were so very good with our vivacious pups, who raced and roamed their expansive grounds. The Boathouse is beautifully updated and decorated, with spacious bathroom, well-equipped kitchen with many condiments and supplies, plenty of seating for relaxing both in- and outside (lovely loungers by the water!). We explored Napanee, and enjoyed great fare at Santorini’s Greek Restaurant (A-1 service) and Napanee Fish & Chips (diner-style serving non-fish meals as well). About an hour away is Lake on the Mountain, near Picton, where there’s a restaurant with picturesque views of both the Lake and the waters of Lake Ontario far below. Oh…the meals are scrumptious! Thank you Lisa and Glen for wonderful memories to end our Maritime-focussed holiday 2022!

Glen and Lisa are amazing people that clearly love their property and go out of their way to ensure that you love it too! All the special touches..linens, cleanliness, gift basket, well stocked kitchen and so much more! The boat house sits right over the water which provides such a beautiful calming view. It was so nice to spend time with you both again this year! Thank you for everything........see you in 2023!! Francine and David

The boat house was perfect. Very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable beds, soft bed linens, all sorts of toiletries and kitchen supplies. The waterfront was equipped with sun umbrellas and loungers and we loved kayaking. Lisa & Glen are great hosts and they do such a good job maintaining and adding to the property …always with their guests top of mind. You won’t be disappointed staying at the boathouse.

This is our second time booking but this time for much longer! We love everything about this beautiful boathouse, Hay bay, and got to explore all that Prince Edward County has to offer, including Sandbanks. Thanks again and hope to see you next year. Maida, Asadur and Family.

Calm, peaceful
We were there at the start of winter. It was extremely calm and away from it all. It would be even better in summer, I think, as the bay looked perfect for kayaking. Anyway, we'd go again.

Incredible getaway!
Glen and Lisa provided our family a wonderful stay for an extended weekend. The boathouse is clean and beautiful with a breathtaking view. And every last detail you can imagine was covered to make the experience extra special - including a thoughtful, generous welcome package with lots of treats. These hosts go above and beyond... we can't thank them enough!

This property is exactly as it appears in the photos and description. My two female friends of over 45 years and I always plan a yearly extended weekend getaway to explore a new area in Canada. We settled this year on the Napanee Boathouse. Our hosts were amazing. They communicated promptly to answer our questions prior to our visit and with their dog Moose, were there to personally welcome us when we arrived. The boathouse is well appointed with all the kitchen stuff you need, comfy throw blankets to cuddle under while watching TV or sitting on the deck with a coffee in October, and high end furnishings. The beds were comfortable, and bedding and towels were luxurious. They thoughtfully provided a binder of ideas on things to do in the area and welcomed us with a lovely personal card and tub of yummy treats like chips, chocolate, local wine, candy, and popcorn. Kinda like our late night mini-bar, but without all the surcharges.
While in the area, we took advantage of the Extended Kingston Penitentiary Tour, and this was extremely engaging even for non-history buffs. One night, we enjoyed a gourmet dinner and acoustic music on the patio at the Waterfront River Pub and Terrace in Napanee - I would highly recommend this excellent restaurant. The ambience was incredible, and to enjoy a lovely warm evening in mid-October on a patio by a river with twinkling lights in the trees and waterfall sounds nearby was an incredible treat. We also enjoyed a day of shopping on the main street in nearby Picton. This town is filled with many boutiques featuring local artisans and it is a lovely walk to explore their unique offerings. The rain held off for us at every stop, even though the forecast was not good - so we felt truly blessed to enjoy this wonderful time. I think the Boathouse is an excellent choice to use as a home base to explore Kingston and Prince Edward County. We will definitely consider going back in the future. We feel invigorated and relaxed after our weekend and we have Lisa and Glen and Moose and their amazing property to thank for this!

We just returned from 5 nights at Hay Bay and at one point I thought my dog wasn't coming home with us, he absolutely loved the freedom and chasing Moose. We had a wonderful time, the boat house is perfect for whatever you want to do whether just relaxing with the breath taking view or going out exploring. Thank you so much for the great time.

Spent two nights at the Boathouse and had a lovely time — we were lucky to have some great weather which allowed us to enjoy the deck over the water. A cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the bay and finishing up our day with drinks and dinner as the sun went down. We explored the county during the day, took advantage of the Glenora Ferry which was a nice drive from the Boathouse. Loved how dog friendly Lisa's place is — our two pups enjoyed exploring the grounds and meeting Moose! Really appreciated the dog gate on the deck, a nice touch along with the welcome basket waiting for us on checkin. Overall a great weekend away!

Everything about the Boathouse was well-thought out and easy, from check-in to check-out. It was convenient to Napanee and we took in many shops and restaurants, but also a quick 10 minutes for getting takeout. We liked the riverfront walking trail. Glen and Lisa had a book of great suggestions.
Especially important, the beds were very comfortable!
