Stay in a beautiful lakefront cottage in Napanee, no matter winter or summer.

In between Toronto and Ottawa in wonderful Addington and Lenox County, this waterfront Cottage is the ultimate retreat for all seasons. The Minu’s Cottage is a waterfront property situated in the Greater Napanee area on a 0.7 acre of land filled with gardens, trees, wildlife, and the crystal-clear waters of Hay Bay - the perfect place to relax, explore, and commune with nature. We also invite anglers and families to visit Minu’s Cottage to relax, fish, and enjoy the amenities. We are located in the Greater Napanee area on the south shore of Hay Bay and on the Bay of Quinte, Ontario.

Greater Napanee is also home to some outstanding local wineries, cideries, and breweries! So, if you're thirsty, stop by and sample a drink for yourself!

Outfitted with three bedrooms with two Queen, two twin beds with an additional sleeping option of a sofa bed, a spa-like master washroom, an additional 3-piece washroom, and an open concept kitchen and living area, facing your private waterfront. The basement is equipped with a sectional sofa, wood fireplace, 55" smart TV, and a massage chair to relax and enjoy your stay in winter—an additional room with a pool table to enjoy your stay with friends and family. For cooking and dining, there is a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor gas BBQ on your private two-stage stretching backyard deck and a three-seater swing to enjoy the cool breeze of the lake during summer. A fire pit sits on the lawn to relax with a glass of wine, and to roast marshmallows with friends and family as the splendid sunsets grace the horizon. Bring your boat to park at our private dock, fishing rod, and get ready for a great time during summer.

The crystal clear waters of Hay Bay present beautiful kayaking opportunities. The Minu’s cottage offers all the amenities one could desire for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a unique work-from-home chance throughout the year.

Despite being away from the noise, restaurants, Walmart, Canadian Tire, No-frills, and Dollarama, including all the amenities of Addington & Lenox County are only a 20-minute drive.

    Fishing vacation

    The location is fantastic. right on the water with its own jetty. quiet and cozy. The landlord is very friendly and takes care of questions and any needs very quickly. You can tell in some places that the house is a little old, but it is well equipped. we would recommend it.

    Great weekend away!!!

    The property suited the six of us guys for our yearly weekend fishing trip. The property was clean and had everything that we needed for the weekend. We had a great view of Hay Bay and enjoyed sitting on the deck watching boats go by. We recommend this property and would come back again in the future. Thank you for having us!!!

    Adolphus Reach Vacation

    The place we rented was spacious and a great view of the water. It had a beautiful deck for sitting out having coffee on in the morning or some refreshments in the evening with two tiers so plenty of space. The dock was good for 2 boats and had a boat lift that was great as well for anyone bringing their own boat to the unit. Any concern was immediately handled by the owner which was excellent. Great space and relaxing for all.

    Fishing trip

    Host could not have been more responsive and we found the location excellent. However the place was not cleaned very well, with garbage still under the sink and floors unswept. We were four older fisherman who were happy enough but our wives would not have been. We tried to clean on our departure but woke to a power failure in the area. All in all , as advertised. The host was responsive, but he should get a new cleaning team.

    Room for improvement

    Bungalow was nice. Property was poorly kept. 12” weeds covered entire yard. Looked abandoned when we arrived. Waterfront weedy and dock area needs a lot of attention. There is a crazy set up for all electrical switches. It took a couple days to sort it all out. There’s a pool table that we enjoyed although the poor cues and no chalk or rake made our games quite comical. There is and ants infestation in the kitchen area. We went and bought ant traps to try and manage the 1000’s ( not a typo) of tiny critters. My wife and mother in law were constantly cleaning and disinfecting to try and control the situation. Honestly if the owner spent 30 hours and $1000 he could remedy most of the downfalls of this property. We definitely left it in way better condition then when we arrived. We manage to make light of most situations and had an enjoyable week all in all.

    Thanksgiving Vacation

    This property is a real gem. The house was exceptionally clean. A shout out to the cleaning person. The open concept and large window overlooking the lake was fantastic. The bed was very comfortable. The furnishings were wonderful. The wood stove downstairs was wonderful for the evenings. The kitchen was supplied very well (pots, pans, silverware, mugs etc. The week went by too quickly.
