Your North Shore Vacation

This page is presented to communicate some general information and guidelines for planning and enjoying your stay at North Shore Resort.

Arrival and Check-in/out: Our rental week runs from Saturday to Saturday. Check-out time is 9:00am and check-in time is 3:00pm. This allows our cleaning staff to prepare cottages for the next guests.

Bug Spray and Sunscreen: Be sure to bring bug spray, especially from May through June. The mosquitoes and biting flies can be a bit friendly. Also, be sure to have plenty of sunscreen as a person can burn very quickly on the water.

Pets: Pets are allowed only with prior permission. Extra fees of $40 per week or $8.00 per day apply. There is a limit of one pet per cottage. It is expected that owners will clean up after their pet and be responsible for any damage that the pet causes.

Boat Landing and Docking: There is a boat launch located within walking distance to North Shore. We have a large pier that can be used for docking your boat. Availability is on a first come basis.

Wilderness Values: We ask all our guests to conduct themselves in a manner respectful of the other guests. This applies to excessive noise – especially in the evening.

Supplies and Food: North Shore does not have a store for supplies. The nearest location for purchasing supplies is in Watersmeet – a 15-minute drive. Be sure to plan accordingly to avoid unnecessary trips to town.

Swimming: Swimming is allowed from our pier. However, there is no lifeguard on duty and guests swim at their own risk. Our policy dictates that children be supervised by an adult at all times while on the pier, in boats or near the water.

Gasoline: Gasoline is available for sale to North Shore guests.

Bait: We sell a variety of bait to our guests, including minnows, nightcrawlers and leeches. Avid fishermen may want to contact us in advance to order larger quantities or specific types of bait.

Animals: There are numerous deer in the Northwoods. Pay careful attention while driving through the area – especially at night to avoid hitting deer. Also, we routinely have deer venture onto the property looking for food. Please don’t feed the deer as it makes them too trusting of people. This also applies to the Canada geese. Feeding them encourages them to loiter – which is a mess to clean up. While there are bears in the area, we don’t often see them at North Shore. However, please pay proper attention while enjoying the more remote areas of the Northwoods.

Cottages: All cottages are equipped with bedding and cookware. However, you will need to bring dish and personal towels.
