💙 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.

About the host
Hosted by Brittany Byrd
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.
