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 andcozy, 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.

    It was a nice clean comfortable cottage with great access to kayaking on the river. Close to lots of great provincial parks.

    We were on a fishing trip in the Key River area and stayed at Tranquility on the River for 4 nights. There was excellent parking for 1 boat and trailer with a nearby receptacle so we could charge our boat at night. The cottage was clean. The linens provided were also clean. The cottage is 2min from a local corner store which has liquor, beer and a small grocery store in case you need anything. The closest boat launch is also 2 min away. The cottage does not have outdoor furniture so bring yourvown folding chairs if you wish to sit out on the deck or dock. We would definitely stay here again.

    2 Girlfriends and I came for the week to kayak. What a perfect location to use as a base to launch from nearby beach to explore Georgian Bay or travel up the highway to explore the French River. Sue, the host, was super friendly and quick to respond from time of booking 4 months ago to making sure we were taken care of when we arrived. The cottage is quaint, the beds are super comfortable, the 2 bathrooms have showers which made it easy for everyone to get ready quickly for the day of kayaking and exploring the area.

    The stay was well organized and good. It was a great weekend to wind back and enjoy nature. The place is calm and peaceful. My interactions with the host was very helpful and we enjoyed the place. The host Sur was always ready to help us in any way possible and we appreciate her for that.

    This is a beautiful property to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and a busy life. Just sitting and watching the river was so very soothing.

    My husband and I had a great time on our extended weekend stay here. The house was clean and well equipped, with lots of useful information in the manual/welcome book. It was nice to be on the river and see and hear the birds. It was also great to be a short drive from different parks and trails. We appreciated Sue’s quick response when we asked her a question the first morning. It was a very nice stay.

    We liked Sue’s cottage, it was comfortable and had pretty much anything we might need for a weekend away.
