Top North Shore Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Arkouda House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a new renovation which is still in progress; it will only get better! The owner was on site during our stay and could not have been more accommodating. You can tell that "pet friendly" was part of the thinking during the renovation. In fact, there was no charge to bring our golden retriever. The room is laid out very simply with a minimal amount of fabric in the furnishings. When you walked into the room it smelled like red cedar. Location is excellent with only a very short walk to town. All systems are modern and worked very efficiently."

N+P Boutique Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place was great! The dedicated parking was a plus and the lodge felt cozy and private. The lodge was really clean and had some amenities that I found useful and more welcoming. There were some things I felt could have made the stay a bit more complete. For the time we went everything was fine but I think as it gets colder, more available blankets would be nice as an extra layer of warmth for bed or to hang out on the couch. Additionally, tea options would be great to offer alongside the coffee. Loved that bikes were available for use and riding around was easy. Only caveat was that none of the bike lights worked so we had to use flashlights to navigate in the dark. Also the dish instructions were confusing. To wash or not to wash. We loved our stay and would come back still!"

Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything highly recommend!"

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!!"

Robinhood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay there. It was old but had character. Very convenient location. We could walk everywhere. Will definitely go again."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"The cabin is perfectly set off from the lake and in good walking distance to the Village and boat rentals. Kitchen is fulling stocked with dishes, pots, pans and coffee pot etc... Little table for two set cutely up.... Beds were nice with gel mattress, and bedding with pillows new and clean.. Bathroom clean... Shower/Tub looked like maybe someone replaced the shower head and did clean up after replacement... could have been rinsed down.... We will defiantly be staying again :-) possibly renting more than one cabin for a family trip."
