About the host
Hosted by Rachael and Renee
Hi there! We're a family from Norfolk County, proud to call this beautiful part of Ontario home. We’ve always loved spending time by Lake Erie—gazing at the lake from the deck, splashing in the water, and sharing cozy evenings around the fire.
Hosting Hillside Shores Cottage is our way of sharing the peace, charm, and joy of lakeside living with others. We believe vacations are all about making memories, whether that’s building sandcastles with your kids, sipping wine on the deck, or curling up with a book while waves crash gently below.
We feel incredibly grateful to welcome guests from near and far. It brings us so much happiness knowing this little piece of paradise can be part of someone else's story too.

Why they chose this property
Looking for a serene escape where the sound of waves and birds replaces the buzz of city life? Normandale is a tranquil lakeside community tailored for families, offering a slower pace and room to breathe.
Wander quiet, safe streets, sip coffee on your morning walk, and watch the sunrise paint the sky over Lake Erie. It’s the kind of place where kids can play, neighbors wave hello, and vacation feels like coming home.
