About the host
Your host

Hi! I'm Michelle, your host at Birch Bay Lakehouse. We finished building our dream cottage in 2023 after putting many, many hours of work into it. It was a true labour of love and we are thrilled to share our little piece of paradise with our guests! We hope you love it as much as our family does :)
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is a new build that has been carefully designed to have a cozy cottagey feel, but with all the amenities of home and then some! The large window wall on the lakeside of the cottage provides unbeatable views!
