💙 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!

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

Lovely location right on the river. Views of the sunset and sunrise were amazing. We celebrated our 50th anniversary there and Brittany made us feel so special. The house was super clean and very nicely decorated. It was so nice that I could bring my dog Jessie. She had a great time. We would highly recommend this property.

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.

We were so pleased with the whole experience renting this lovely home! It was super clean with modern functional decor in the most beautiful quiet location. The fenced yard leading to the water provided a wonderful atmosphere for our two small dogs as well. We enjoyed watching the beautiful sunrises, kayaking in the river and enjoying quiet time on the dock. Brittany was a fantastic host and answered any questions we had with such a prompt and pleasant manner. We would most definitely recommend this property and hope to visit again!

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.

Beautiful, peaceful stay
I have nothing but positive comments for this cottage. Firstly the location is amazing. It's 3 and a half-hour drive from Toronto but it is totally worth it. The area around the cottage is very scenic. It is located right by the water in a friendly, peaceful neighborhood. The Kayaks were available upon request. Brittany met us during check-in and we felt welcomed from the minute we got there. Whenever we had a question she was quick to respond by text. The house was clean and equipped with the necessary amenities. Overall my family (4 adults + 2 dogs) had a wonderful stay. We definitely recommend this cottage!

An oasis along the st. Lawrence North channel
The cottage was a haven of calm and relaxation for us. We were able to kayak straight from our dock on a daily basis although you could also slip the boats in from the inlet behind the cottage as well. We barbecued many evenings and enjoyed the fire pit and gazing at the night sky as well. There is always a breeze outside so bugs were never a bother. Brittany was the consummate hostess and readily answered any of our questions either before our travel or while there. We are looking forward to staying at her river house again.
