I love this cottage park, not my first stay. Minor problem with some (very small amount) of mold in my bedroom. Not noticeable to anyone else but I am allergic so it did make it hard for me to sleep. Wifi is spotty and cell phone signal is poor. Other than that the cottage was lovely. Nice space with lots of room for everyone. Well located with a splash pad and park across the street, fishing very close, and a beach a short walk away. Would still stay again but will bring my air filter with me.

Tom was wonderful. He made our vacation very enjoyable by being available to us when we needed him. He works hard to keep customers happy. We witnessed it with other vacationers as well. The cabins are pretty but could use some updating. Couch was not useable but chair and beds were comfortable.

We had a very pleasant stay at North Shore Cottages. The accommodations are very basic and rustic, but everything was in working order and clean. The location is great for families, it's directly across the street from a splash pad, playground and walking trails, and a beach is a couple minutes away. My older kids enjoyed a lot of freedom exploring on their own. It would be great for biking too. Communication with the owner was always polite and pleasant. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how quiet the area was at night. Overall, I recommend this stay, especially for families looking for a simple and quiet get away at a reasonable price. I would also strongly recommend to bring your own bedding and towels. We will be back!
