About Us
A family-owned and operated business
Hey there!
Welcome to West Shore Cottages!
Thanks for taking the time to look around. Here’s a little about us…
Both Mike and I grew up with many of our fondest memories on the lake. We knew when we started our own family that this was something we wanted our kids to experience as well. So in 2018, with our 6-month old in tow, we purchased our first lakefront property in Orillia, ON. In that home, we welcomed our second and third child, enjoyed countless sunsets, hundreds of bonfires, and all that lake life had to offer. We also discovered the freedom that short-term rentals could give us. We began renting out our home, traveling with financial ease and finding a love of hosting guests in our slice of paradise.
In 2021, we moved from Orillia to Innisfil, knowing that we wanted to continue what we had been doing. Gilford Beach became home, and we expanded our business, helping other homeowners increase their income earning potential while providing our guests a 5-star experience and lifelong memories.
We feel incredibly privileged to do the work we do and our ability to share the magic of lakefront living.
