The property is well located, a short walk to the lake.
The kitchen is well stocked, however you do need to bring all linens including dish towels etc.
The mattresses on the bed were not comfortable.
The property manager was helpful and checked to see if everything was good..
We stayed for an off season weekend which was quiet and relaxing. The cottage itself very clean, fireplace burner needs replacing and would have been excellent because of the chilly weather. Full kitchen, remember to bring not only food, you need to bring toilet paper, dish cloths, dish soap. Luckily there are stores nearby. Loads of hot water.
The staff on site very helpful and accommodating upon our arrival.
In summer season, definitely a lovely spot so close to the beach and port.

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

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.

I was looking for a place to stay for 1 night with the kids. We rented cottage #2. It was exceptionally clean, cozy, adorable and affordable. Great location right across from the water. The cottage had everything we needed. The man running the place was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. The kids loved it and we will definitely go here again ❤️

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!

We had cabin 5, it was great that we had the firepit right outside.. I’m not sure if any other cabins had them. Cabin 4 beside us joined in for the fires as well, it was great to meet new people!
Cabin 5 is 2 bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twins in the other. You also have a pull out couch. You NEED to remember sheets/blankets/pillows. As well as all other necessities etc. toilet paper, paper towel, towels for bathing/kitchen, dish soap, garbage bags.. There were a few pots/pans and dishes/utensils.
Overall was a good stay, a quick walk to Port Elgin Main Beach, we drove to Sauble Beach (20 mins away).

Unbeatable location across from North Shore Park. Just a few steps to the harbor and excellent sunset-watching location. It worked well for our purposes.
Our cottage was very basic, pretty old, but clean. A coat of paint wouldn't hurt. The entire property is for sale, which was a little disconcerting.
Tom, the property manager, was very responsive.

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.

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!

Good location. North Shore Cottages is in close proximity to walk to Harbour Marina park/Beach in Port Elgin. Central spot for driving to Southampton or Sauble Beach.
You can pay the same amount of money and stay at the Quality Inn down the road in South Hampton and have a clean spacious room, without cigarette butts in the window frame, somebody else’s garbage in your room, and management that actually know you’re arriving when you’re supposed to.
The plus side - great location, quiet, great shower, pressure and hot water as long as you don’t mind the stains and mildew in the bottom of the shower stall
Great TV and cable
Internet works great even though the Wi-Fi password did not work at all
Air conditioning works like a champ
Cute, gas fireplace I suppose if it gets cold
Would I stay there again? Only if I was desperate
