Tranquility on the River

Britt is called the Hidden Pearl of Georgian Bay with year-round activities. Rent a canoe at the marina, go fishing (all season), jump off from the dock or simply sit and wave as the fishermen chug past. A bright yellow door welcomes you to this rustic, cozy space. Easily accessible from the highway, at night the serenity and the stars feel like the middle of nowhere. Sit on the spacious deck and watch the loons and beavers, listen to the frogs, or play board games while time stands still. Note though, this is cottage country so there may be seasonal flies or mosquitos.

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.

Good Scenery but not what was expected.
Pros: Good scenery, peaceful with nice views, big and clean property, location is within short driving distance to parks/beaches, owner was quick to respond to question/concerns, owner offered partial refund due to BBQ issue Cons: Property amenities on website not accurate No hot tub as mentioned in ad BBQ was not in working condition Bedroom layout is not ideal as one is directly in living room/kitchen area (not quiet) Other bedroom is on opposite end (quiet) River/canal water did not appear clean for swimming from property dock Local resident did not recommend swimming from property dock No garbage disposal in walking distance

Weekend at Tranquility
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.

Excellent stay
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.

Nice long weekend getaway
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.

Cottage at Britt on the Still River
We enjoyed the stay as whole. The cottage was clean and on the Still River bank. We have seen lots of birds and an otter every day. It was the hottest days of the year, the windows needed open in the night. The water is non-potable water. We brought our own bottled water. The location is easy to find.
