Why here
Gunn Lake & the Minaki you'll come to know
Minaki sits on the storied Winnipeg River System — a chain of linked lakes at the edge of the boreal forest and Canadian Shield. It's a place with depth: railway-resort history, world-class fishing, and quiet bays. Kendall's Point is reached only by water — most guests launch from the Minaki Marina, and your hosts can arrange boating to and from the point once you've booked.
Fishing the Minaki Chain
Gunn Lake links into the Winnipeg River System — a chain of lakes known for walleye, muskie, pike, and bass. Bring your Ontario licence and check current regulations before you cast.

Minaki Trails
About 25 km of scenic trails wind through boreal forest with views of the Canadian Shield — a beautiful way to spend a non-fishing morning.

Minaki's Railway-Resort History
Before the road trip, there was the railway. Minaki's 1910 CNR station once welcomed guests to the grand old Minaki Lodge — a reminder that this water has drawn travellers for over a century.
Boating & the Protected Bay
The bay is sheltered and calm — easy for swimming and tying up. From the dock you can reach Gunn, Pistol, Big Sand, and beyond. Watch the wind and weather before longer lake travel.
Lake Safety & Stewardship
Wear life jackets, watch the weather, pack out what you pack in, clean gear to stop invasive species, and respect neighbours and local communities. Leave the bay better than you found it.
Our story
About Kendall's Point Cottages
Kendall's Point Cottages is a private, boat-access lakefront retreat on quiet Gunn Lake in Minaki, Ontario. This site is the lodge's own booking and discovery platform — it lets guests browse the cabins, view photo galleries, check live availability, and reserve their stay directly with the hosts, all in one place. No middlemen, no crowded listing sites: just a simple, honest way to plan a getaway on the water.
The platform is built for travelers looking for a genuine northern-lakes escape — families and friend groups who want cabin comfort, dock days, and campfire nights with the seclusion that only a boat-access point can offer. Guests launch from the Minaki Marina, and the hosts arrange boating to and from Kendall's Point. Beyond booking, it's a place to explore the area: a Gunn Lake guide, FAQ, and a collection of stories about the lake, the fishing, and the surrounding wilderness help guests arrive knowing exactly what to expect.
Kendall's Point Cottages is owned and run by the Stouffer family, who host every stay personally and supply the photography you see throughout the site. They built this platform so guests can connect with them directly, ask questions before they book, and feel at home long before they reach the dock. Whether you're planning a fishing trip, a family reunion, or a quiet week off the grid, the hosts are here to help you plan it.
