The story of Tuttle Point House:

As a child, I spent many summers on the water with my family. From being up before dawn to go fishing with my grandparents, to staying up late for campfire s'mores under a starry night sky- my love for the river life runs deep.

I've spent many years on Tuttle Point before I owned my home here.

My relatives own a cottage on the peninsula as well, which is how I fell in love with Tuttle Point.

I can recall so many of my favorite memories happening right here on "the island" (what the locals call it), which is why I knew I had to have my own piece of paradise here.

For years I have been collecting the pieces that you see inside Tuttle Point House, all intentional as I knew one day they would be placed in a home on the water.

The driftwood in the dining room was found along the shore of the island when I was out walking one day many years before I lived here. I brought it home as a reminder that one day it would be back on the island.

In the summer of 2018, my childhood dream of owning my own spot on Tuttle Point became real.

But that was just the beginning.

At the time, the home was just a shell. We spent a full year making this house a home (we have a book in the cottage that shows our journey!)

We are so excited to share our piece of paradise with you and hope that you and your family will create as many life long memories here as we have.



More details:

Tuttle Point House is located only 40 minutes south of Ottawa, 1.75 hours from Montreal, 1.5 hours east of Kingston, and 10 minutes to the bridge to the USA.

On the main level there you can find the living room, dining, and kitchen, which overlook the channel side of the St Lawrence. Off the kitchen, you'll find the master bedroom that has a queen bed, and also the washroom- both of which overlook the bay on the other side of the peninsula.

When you walk down the stairs to the lower level, on your left is the second bedroom with a queen bed, dresser, and closet. You'll also find a laundry room with a front load washer and dryer.

Walking outside from the lower level you'll find a large deck (16 x 28) overlooking the St Lawrence River and a dock complete with a diving board. Off the diving board, it's about 20' deep (in the summer).

*** Frequently Asked Questions- Please read the full description prior to making a reservation request! ***

Our house is pet friendly, although due to allergies we can only accept non shedding/low shedding/short hair breeds. If you’d like to bring your dog, please let us know what breed when you submit a request.

Our basement is partially finished- the basement has exposed ceilings and a concrete floor with radiant floor heating. It is not finished as we are unsure how we want to finish it yet.

Guests are responsible for their own garbage removal. We have garbage pick up Friday's at 6AM at the corner of Tuttle Point Road and North Channel Road. Anything that does not get taken out on Friday is the responsibility of the guest. The is a $50 garbage fee if any garbage is left on the property.

Since this is our home, there are some areas that are off limits to guests; the pantry in the kitchen, storage room in the basement.

While our home is updated and modern, it's in the country, which means there are bugs, birds, rabbits, foxes, etc. You'll also notice bugs and spiders outside. We have intentionally chosen not to spray for spiders or bugs since we have pets and host many guests with pets as well.

We have a BBQ and firepit. Guests are responsible for their own propane and firewood. Both can be purchased at Canadian Tire in Prescott.

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

Beautiful location!
The location was fantastic! Fabulous sunrise and sunset views and excellent outdoor space on the water. The house is immaculate; modern and well equipped both in terms of the kitchen as well as for outdoor activities (kayaks etc). My husband and I had a great stay and enjoyed exploring the area. We appreciated being able to bring our dog who loved being on the water! Thanks Brittany for a great stay!

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!
