About this property

Tranquility on the River

Britt is the Hidden Gem of Georgian Bay, easily accessible but not commercialized. A small community of 300 odd friendly folks, it's rustic and serene. In summers, watch beavers, ducks and loons, swim in Silent River, or sit on the swing and enjoy the breeze. Visit the local Ice Cream parlor or rent a canoe and make your way to Georgian Bay. In winters, go ice fishing in the beautiful Magnetawan teeming with Bass, Pike, Perch, Walleye, Catfish, Smelt, Speckle Trout, etc.

Spacious and cozy, a bright yellow door welcomes you to the cottage and the sound of flowing water lulls you to sleep. Modern amenities make your stay comfortable while the feeling of escape persists, especially once the sky darkens. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's ample room to enjoy board games on the gaming table, sip your morning coffee in the sunroom, or stargaze on clear nights. We have two queen beds and a bunk bed, making it ideal for four adults and two children. There’s also a dock to swim or tie your boat.
Fire extinguishers are available in the Sunroom and the Kitchen (under the sink), and a basic First Aid kit is located inside the Cedar bathroom vanity.

Please note, this village is in unorganized territory, so not every city-based amenity is available. There’s one shop for groceries, basics, and booze, and water comes from a drilled well. There is no trash collection, so we ask guests to carry away their garbage and recyclables, but if this is difficult, we’ve other options.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Sue

Host profile image

We discovered Britt and our cottage by accident and the small town with its quaint shop and the friendly, down to earth people caught our fancy. We've made this place our getaway and love sharing it with other nature loving folks who need to destress from the mundanity of daily life.

Why they chose this property

This is a simple place with modern amenities while still offering a vibe of a time long gone. Get away from it all while not driving too far from the city.

What makes this property unique

It's one of the few properties on a quiet river with not too much traffic or too strong a current. Swimming is a pleasure here and so is star gazing. It's cottage country, so seasonal flies and mosquitoes are to be expected.
