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!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had the basics needed to cook our meals. We brought blankets but there were enough in the cabin to get by had we forgotten. Tom was amazing and great to communicate with. Will stay again if we are in the area

It was our first time in this area, and we loved it! It's so quiet and nice. There are so much to do as a family, like parks, the lake is right in front just crossing the street. It's a little town, but u can fine anything u need.
Tom, the owner was super friendly and makes us feel like home.
I would definitely recommend this place and for sure we'll come here for our next vacations.

This cottage is in a great location however I was a bit disappointed that nowhere in the small print does it tell you to bring your own linens, towels etc. There was some bedding available in closets however it was old and musty so we had to go and buy some new bedding and towels for comfort. The kitchen was stocked with dishes but no towels, dish towels or some basic things that you don’t expect to have to bring. The living space is comfortable and would have been better if we were more informed on what to expect.

We enjoyed our stay at this place. It's a Nice small cottage very close to Port Elgin harbour,lake front boardwalks, and beach. Right for family of four. You have to carry all essential items(Bath tissue, paper towels and toiletries) and bedding. It's close to lot of popular attractions like Sauble beach and parks.

This property is not as described by the pictures posted. Dirty carpet, stained mattresses (I have pictures) No Covid measures in place, it is not clean. If you have health issues don't book! The reviews state how great it is but, I am not sure how the property has so MANY good reviews hmmmm.

Bed and pull out was old and uncomfortable. Wifi was minimal. Door was a challenge to lock. No toilet paper or paper towel or hand soap. Fortunately I brought my own. Expected a bit more for the money.

The property is located in a very nice area. It is very close to all amenities and the cottage is very nice and clean. The host "Tom" is very friendly, approachable and kind. Highly recommended!

The cottage was not cleaned at all which was surprising with Covid-19. The 4 of us spent 30-45 min cleaning it. Dishes were dirty, drawers, table and counter were sticky. Bugs smooshed on the walls. We were supposed to have a 2 parking spot as requested but the drieway/parking spot was taken by a Winnebago with someone staying in it. Thankfully, we ended up only taking one vehicle but had to park on the grass. The grounds were a total mess. Advertisement stated a fountain was on the premises but it was not working and had stale water in it with overgrown bushes around it. Our sitting area outside the cottage had broken pieces, spider nests everywhere and the BBQ had 2 of the 4 elements working. One of the windows fell out and another the lock was completely broken and the screen on the front door was bolted shut. I had requested 4 chairs in the cottage but only 2 were supplied. We had to take in 2 patio chairs so we could eat. This was more like a hunting/fishing camp than a cottage. In addition, the electrical was exposed and an extension cord was being overused. The toilet was leaking everytime we'd flush. This was supposed to be my birthday week and it was beyond disappointing. We do our best to book with you and were very surprised that you would have this location as an option. Especially at the price we paid. I have pics to show what we had to experience and would like someone to contact me who is not the person caring for the property. Someone from here or higher up.

The location was great and the cottage was very clean.
It took us a few minutes to find someone in order to check in but everyone who worked there was very nice and helpful after that.
Some of the mattresses were uncomfortable so if that is something that really bothers you, bring your own mattress topper.
I would definitely stay here again.
