The North Shore Inn

It was perfect for the weekend. It was a small, quaint room but it was just what we wanted. It’s also centrally located and within walking distance to just about everything we needed. I will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay at the North Shore Inn this weekend. The room was charming, the bedding soft, comfy and clean and we had a private balcony overlooking Lake Gregory. To top it off, the lovely innkeeper surprised us with a pretty and unexpected gift of champagne, along with flutes and hazelnut truffles when she learned it was our 36^th anniversary. We felt very much at home and will certainly go back for another visit. Lake Gregory is a fun, quiet spot to unwind and enjoy the forest, lake and peace and quiet. Great visit.

North Shore Inn in Crestline was a wonderful experience. It is an older place but everything was welcoming and comfortable. Lots of pillows, a fireplace and a outside balcony overlooking part of the lake. They gave us a bottle of champagne on ice with chocolate truffles after we checked. We told them we were celebrating our 36^th wedding anniversary from a few days earlier. The room was charming. We recommend this place!

We stayed in Crestline for a wedding and The North Shore Inn was perfect!
We loved the cozy room and the view was amazing!

How often does a hotel exceed your expectations? The North Shore Inn is actually nicer than it appears on-​line. Our room (#3) was beautiful and comfortable. The inn keepers are extremely helpful in recommending local restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

Nancy is amazing! Very friendly. We mentioned we came here for our anniversary and she came by with a bottle of champagne and hazelnut truffles! Everyone should come here! Right across from the lake. Worth it. Pet friendly rooms too

We just spent 1 night at The North Shore Inn to celebrate our first year together.
We stayed in room 10, the deluxe queen with fireplace. It was very charming, quiet and clean. The patio facing the lake let in nice sunlight. The shower had good pressure and temperature and there were plenty of extra towels, tissues etc, anything you may need during your stay.
My boyfriend treated me to the bubbles and flowers (an option at checkout online) and the bouquet of flowers was so beautiful, I almost brought it back to LA with us.
The location is wonderful, right across the street from Lake Gregory and walking distance to places to eat/​shop. The trail around the lake was so peaceful, we walked it in the evening and again in the morning. We took a drive into Lake Arrowhead as well, it only took about 15 minutes.
This was our first stay in Crestline and The North Shore Inn and we are already planning to come back again, perhaps for 2 nights so we can explore more of the beautiful mountains and neighboring towns.

Great romantic getaway. Beautiful views right across from lake Gregory. Staff is so friendly and rooms are adorable, very comfy beds, and amazing fire place in your room! Definitely coming back!

Very tiny room, very thin walls. Bug crawling around inside bathrm. light fixture. No amenities: jacuzzi tub or outside spa, no fireplace, coffe pot/​no coffee packets. Not a good value for the money.

I took my 2 young girls on a mini vaca and stayed 2 nights here. It was AWESOME!!! Excellent customer service and beautiful clean rooms. I would definetly recommend this place, and we will for sure be back. Thank you to Nancy and Terry. :)

Nancy, the owner, was very welcoming. The hotel itself was amazing! The room was clean, and cozy, and well decorated. The shower was clean, amazing water pressure. The fireplace was an added bonus that made for a perfect weekend get away. They also provided free parking and wifi, that just doesn’t happen anymore! We will definitely be staying here again.

We had an AMAZING couples getaway weekend. Our children were attending a Christian camp up the road and we were looking for something close. We found this diamond in the rough, Northshore Inn. What a true blessing.
It’s a quaint little place, centrally located in town, and walking distance to restaurants, antique shops and boutiques. The rooms oversee the beautiful Lake, accented with tall pines and a full roundabout walking trail. Phenomenal views. To my surprise each rooms is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities of home, the beds are beyond what words can describe… Comfortable! Nancy was amazing, she provided great service and gave great recommendations of local eateries. We will definitely be back. Thank you Nancy for your hospitality and making our stay memorable!

The north shore inn is such an amazing place my friend and i were just out there last week we stayed for 3 nights and just fell in love with the place. Nancy one of the owners was the sweetest she was very accommodating for everything we needed. The hospitality at this inn is outstanding. We had the suite for two nights it was so nice had a kitchen with everything you need to cook, a cozy fireplace in the living room and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. And the last night we moved to another room due to a reservation that had been booked before we got to it. The other room wasn’t a suite but it was just as nice. It also had a nice cozy fireplace and a comfortable bed. Both rooms were very clean and just overall very nice. My friend and I booked this little get away last minute so we didn’t have any big plans while we stayed which worked out perfectly we were so comfortable in our rooms we barley wanted to leave. This inn was strongly recommended to me by my dad who also stays here and I too will be strongly recommending it to anyone looking to stay out in crestline. Thanks so much north shore inn for making our little get away so enjoyable. We can’t wait to come back!

A great weekend away! Accommodations were so clean and comfortable.
Nancy was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area.
Beautiful view of Lake Gregory! Very cozy and relaxing.

This is the perfect little getaway hotel. Right across the street from Lake Gregory — perfect for long doggy walks, watching the birds, chilling. Close enough to Lake Arrowhead to drive over for the day. The room is adorable (we had a single queen with just me and a dog). LOVED our patio. Loved that this place was SO dog friendly and welcoming. It is a small boutique hotel with just maybe 8 — 10 rooms so very quiet and peaceful. You can hear the people above you but nothing you wouldn’t hear if you lived below someone in an apt.
It was JUST what me and Jasper needed to refresh and renew. We will definitely be back!!! The owner is super sweet, very kind to my dog and just helpful. The room comes with beach towels and picnic towels and she offered us a doggy bowl in case we had forgotten ours.
I cannot wait to come back!!! Loved this place. Great find!

This was by far one of the most lovliest stays for us! my husband and I were treated a night here (Oct. 2014) by some wonderful friends, Faye and Vic while we were visiting in Riverside. Our room was beautifully decorated, and it was clear that our hosts put much thought into their guests’ anticipated needs. Just stepping into our room made us begin to immediately exhale and relax. Absolutely lovely. We were also overjoyed with having a private outdoor patio surrounded by the picturesque mountain setting. The entire area is fullnof things to do, restaurants, shops and sightseeing.
I pouted and whined about leaving, wanting one more night! I cannot wait to return, and next time plan to stay 2 – 3 days! Thanks to our cherished friends and wonderful hosts for a memory not soon forgotten!

I can’t say enough good things about the North Shore Inn. Nancy is the best! She made sure our stay was comfortable & gave us great tips for dining and things to do in the area. The rooms she personally redecorated. You can see the love and care that went into the renovations. The rooms are lavish, comfortable and have all the comforts of home. Our stay was so peaceful & relaxing. The bed was so comfortable, we slept even better than we do at home! Beautiful views from the balcony. The fireplace made our room that much more cozy. Water out of the faucets hot on demand. Plush fabrics on the bed and draperies, Tons of pillows & extra towels! Plenty of coffee for relaxing mornings on the balcony. Small refrigerator and microwave in the room as well. Our stay was absolutely Perfect!

Stayed here over Labor Day weekend and loved it. Our room was comfortable, clean and super cute. Pretty fancy actually! We had a view of Lake Gregory which is steps away and a balcony to enjoy breakfast and for looking at the stars at night. Such a good trip. We will definitely be coming back. There is a Mexican food place right next door as well which we loved. I actually didn’t see other hotels as close to the lake as this one. Highly recommend.

I reviewed this place about two months ago and I stand by that review. The reason I am updating is because someone has marked my review as invalid thinking I am not a real person. I am. Because I want people to know about this place, and because Nancy is such an amazing hostess I want to make sure my review gets out there.
This place was an amazing find and such a blessing to find last-​minute. I will be going back if only just to say hi to Nancy. She and her husband provide excellent service and genuine hospitality and should be recognized for that!

Buyer beware … read the fine (fine) print before booking.
This place charges you a $ 20 per night «processing fee». Even if you cancel (example 30 days out) your card will be still charged $ 20/​per night booked. No exceptions or refunds. In addition to this. they charged me tax.
I was charged $ 42.80 and I never stepped foot onto their property and provided ample notice of my cancellation. There was nothing to «process» and I was still charged.
There was zero customer service and mgt gave me some story about having to pay their online merchant these fee’s and that they pass them onto the customer. This charge worked out to be 14% of my full booked price. 14% «processing fee». Really? I don’t think so. They’re crooks.
.
In this day where the majority of internet charges are fully refundable, this is not acceptable.
Rip off. Doesn’t deserve the one (1) star.
