💙 Our Story
Tuttle Point has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From early mornings fishing with my grandparents to late nights by the campfire, my love for river life runs deep.

Before I owned this home, I spent years visiting family on the peninsula, making lifelong memories on what locals call "the island." I knew I had to have my own piece of paradise here.

Every detail in Tuttle Point House was carefully chosen. The driftwood in the dining room? I found it on the shore years before I moved here, knowing one day it would come home.

In 2018, my dream became reality. The house was just a shell, but we transformed it into a beautiful, modern retreat. You’ll even find a book inside that documents our renovation journey!

We hope you love Tuttle Point House as much as we do and create unforgettable memories here.

Quiet and relaxing

Stayed here with my son to have some quiet time together. Brittany was fantastic and super accommodating. The property is in a nice quiet location and has fantastic views and access to the St. Lawrence River. We were able to put the kayaks in right at the dock and explore the nearby islands. The house was clean and modern with a nice touch of cottage decoration. Will definitely return!

Weekend on the St Lawrence River

A fantastic stay at Brittany's place which is situated directly on the river. With a deck and dock at the river, and minutes to all other amenities, you have access to everything for a perfect stay. The house sits on a quiet peninsula with fenced yard and plenty of shade on the hot sunny days. Will certainly become a favorite getaway spot.

A Waterfront Getaway

Lovely location right on the water! Lots of windows throughout the cottage giving beautiful views and an abundance of natural light. Although we actually spent most of our time outside on the big deck overlooking the river, watching the birds and boats of all sizes passing by. A very peaceful and relaxing stay. So enjoyable! Brittany is a fantastic host, she communicates quickly and clearly and honestly. And she gives you a great welcome when you arrive and continues to be available throughout your stay.

Serenity at it's best

This is a beautiful house in a private setting on the water. We so enjoyed being able to fish off the dock and keep our fishing boat docked for our week stay. We were so thankful for the kayaks to go out and explore the water where the boat couldn't. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we could've needed and more. The weight room in the lower level is an added bonus our teenagers enjoyed so they could keep up their workouts. Brittany's added touches of fresh flowers for our arrival day was such a beautiful surprise - and she is a great communicator so we were confident ifwe needed anything she was

Erwartungen größenteils nicht erfüllt

Mit dem Hintergrund des hohen Preises: POSITIV: Lage auf der Insel ruhig, zum Erholen gut Bett im Obergeschoss bequem Begrüssungsgruss von der Vermieterin Ausreichend Handtücher NEGATIV: Trotz der bekannten Fotos waren wir doch sehr enttäuscht über die immer noch komplett offene Decke im Untergeschoss, alle Kabel und Leitungen lagen frei. Wir verstehen bauliche Maßnahmen, jedoch wurde seit unserer Buchung vor 1 Jahr scheinbar nichts getan, den Zustand zu bessern. Im Bett zu lagen und das zu sehen, hat nichts mit Urlaub zu tun. Wandschrank im Schlafzimmer im Untergeschoss nicht nutzbar, dahinter liegen Schmutz, Kabel, der Router. Es steht ausschliesslich eine Ikea Kommode zur Verfügung. Das zweite Nachtlicht im Schlafzimmer im Untergeschoss war nicht angeschlossen, da keine Steckdose vorhanden war. Auch ein Verlängerungskabel gab es nicht. Es gab sehr viele Insekten, Spinnweben an den Fenstern und Türen, hier wurde seit Monaten nicht geputzt, die Tür im Untergeschoss war an den Griffen schmutzig Fön+Staubsauger nicht vorhanden in den 2 Wochen. Der Staubsauger wurde 3 Tage vor Abfahrt zur Verfügung gestellt. Durch die im Untergeschoss ausgelegten Gummimatten riecht es dauerhaft nach Gummi, auch beim Schlafen Die auf den Fotos vorhandene Treppe in den Fluss gibt es nicht mehr, ein einfacher Zugang zum Wasser gab es nicht, dies war jedoch der Hauptgrund unserer Buchung. Am Steg scharfe Bruchstellen der ehemaligen Treppe. Alle Gartenmöbel unsauber, Untergeschoss generell unsauber

A piece of heaven

This is my second time booking this property. I would not hesitate to book again! The scenery is amazing and is the perfect location for me to have precious time with my family. The impact that Covid has had on all of our lives has made my family pause and reflect upon what is important. Having time together to celebrate, talk , eat and enjoy the beautiful St Lawrence in the privacy of this cottage is EXACTLY what I and my family needed. I hated to leave. What this cottage does for my family is brings us together and Brittany provides all that is needed to make the stay one where you can build precious memories together. I highly recommend Brittany and her property.

Fantastic Stay on Tuttle Point

We had a wonderful trip to Brittany's home on Tuttle Point. The house is exactly as described in the pictures. It is stylish and comfortable and was perfect for our family of 4. It is very well appointed and nothing was overlooked. Brittany takes great pride in being a host and did everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Highlights for us included swimming in the river, jumping off the dock, hanging out on the dock, kayaking around the point, day trips in Ottawa and Brockville and just hanging out and having fun. This house makes that all super easy. This home is a must stay!

When our home, wasn't quite feeling like home, our stay at Tuttle Point delivered that home feeling

Our trip to Tuttle point was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and peaceful experience. While we were going through loud and messy renovations at home, we needed a place to get away for a few days with our dog, and Brittany went above and beyond to make our stay as cozy and comfortable as possible. After reading all the positive reviews, we knew that we would be in for a great experience, but what we didn’t expect was how at home it felt. The stay at Tuttle point was exactly what we needed. It exceeded our expectations and we’re very grateful to have had such a great host. Thank you Brittany for providing us with such a memorable experience.

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Byrd

Host profile image
Hello, I am your host Brittany. I am a local Realtor with Royal Lepage Team Realty. I purchased Tuttle Point House in 2018 and have been renting it to wonderful guests since 2020.

I help clients buy and sell homes and investment properties between Brockville and Ottawa. My husband and I reside in our home on the outskirts of Ottawa, and love spending as much time as possible at Tuttle Point House.

We hope you enjoy our river home as much as we do and we look forward to hosting you.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions!

Why they chose this property

I have spent many summers on Tuttle Point as my family has a cottage here. I fell in love with the river and the relaxing lifestyle that came with it. For years it was my goal to purchase a house here, which happened in 2018. It was only a shell when I purchased it (no drywall, no water, no floors, etc) and we've spent the last year renovating it to be a relaxing river house.

If you're interested in seeing what it looked like when we moved in, check out @TuttlePointHouse on Instagram! We posted progress photos along the way!

What makes this property unique

Here are our favorite things about our home:

- We have the most amazing unobstructed sunrises and sunsets over the St Lawrence River (both visible from inside our home).
- It's quiet, peaceful and a change of pace from the city
- The water is super clear and clean in the river
- You can sit and enjoy a coffee on the dock
- Being on the river you can do various water activities- we love to explore the island from the water!
