The Developer
PAUL JEFFERY
As the owner of Windermere House since 2007, my vision has been clear: to create a superior destination offering a select blend of advantages that appeal to those who seek excellence in carefree, flexible recreation.
As our makeover of the resort continues, we have turned the focus to offering a special Muskoka experience. The Cottages at Windermere House present fractional ownership of a planned recreational property living environment coupled with the benefits of a first-class resort.
We believe the value inherent in this offering is unmatched. Why allocate large amounts of capital to cottage ownership when a sophisticated, smarter method is at hand? Why be saddled with maintenance chores when your leisure time should encompass carefree joy? Why feel obligated to use your vacation residence in order to justify your investment? And why be locked in to repetitive pastimes when you can have access to so much more variety?
The Cottages at Windermere House invite you to banish the time crunch, free up your capital and enjoy the wonderful flexibility of a luxurious lifestyle. Join us, as we request the pleasure of your company in making A Preferred Lifestyle choice.
As Chairman and owner of Windermere House, Paul Jeffery has an extensive track record of business success. He is Founder and Past Chairman of Kelsey’s International Inc., the parent company of Kelsey’s Restaurants, Montana’s Cookhouse and the Eastern Canada franchise holder for Outback Restaurants. In 2002, Paul sold Kelsey’s International Inc. to Cara Foods.
