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.
Mouldy smell,cob webs, mice feces,floor looks clean but when you dont use slippers your feet will looks so dirtyblack in color so ww have to wipe the floor.management is helpful when ask for help and friendly.close to grocery and nice beaches

Very uncomfortable Stay
We stayed in cottage and after day 1 we relized there were people staying in the basement and we were not informed of this...needless to say we were very uncomfortable..They where in and out all night long so we did not sleep. No windows locked..locks on doors not so good..cottaged reaked of smoke and not very clean.
Manager seemed friendly and helpful .
Cabin was heavy with odour and mould.
Condition of cabin was a 2 out of 10 with door lock weak and loose , hair ball in shower drain , no WIFI as per cabin and many spider webs and insects inside .
Generally , needs to be updated and a heavy cleaning and deodorizing .
Tom really makes the stay, he is excellent to deal with and he is really good with kids; the cottages are housekeeping cottages. The family and I really enjoyed our stay it was really relaxing, bring your own bedsheets and towels. The beach is nearby and if you have need for any information or issues call tom
Tom was very friendly and helpful. It is super close to the beach and if you want to watch the sunset just down the street. if you have small kids right near a splash pad. if you cycle right on the saugeen shore bike path. We had a great time!
Outstanding service! Tom was attentive and helpful, making my families experience exceptional. We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family! Thank you again Tom!!
Great location. Very close to the beach. A 5 minute drive but very walkable. Great place to watch the sunset right up the street. A lovely walking trail across from the property. Cottage was cozy, property was nice. Tom was awesome. Very helpful and friendly.

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.
The manager is very friendly. The cottage was perfect for what we needed it for.

North Shore Cottages
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!
