Top North Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Sessions Retreat & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute place! Staff was great….. lots of charm….. price was great and location was great too. Only thing this place doesn’t have AC but they do give a fan to plug in as well as a heater when it’s cold but other than that it was fine. We look forward to coming back."

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super nice and the cabin was beautiful and clean. This is my second time staying at this cabin resort, I love it. I'll be back next year!!"

Fireside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room 22 was clean, rather noisy though. It could do with new carpet, it’s rather old & worn. Refrigerator, Microwave and TV were all great! Didn’t use the fireplace, it was a new ce option to have if needed. Would have preferred a ground floor room though!! Easy area to walk around in. Appreciate that it’s pet-friendly, especially that they don’t overcharge as many of the other places are way too expensive! That was the main reason why we chose Fireside Lodge I want to say the staff were helpful and very kind. We will definitely stay here again"

Arkouda House

8/10 Good

"We reserved the family cottage with loft. The layout was great and my daughter loved the bunk beds/ cubbies to hang out in and sleep. Love that dogs can stay free. Nice bathroom. The living room area was pretty sparse, the seating was not very comfy. Walls were thin so you could hear rooms around you. Overall we were happy since it was a unique setup and clean and well located."
