We rented this house for some visiting pilots for Skydive Chicago and they thoroughly enjoyed the clean, professional, pleasant place to stay through Heritage Harbor. Really stepped it up for our guests!
We’re so glad your guests had a great experience! It’s always wonderful to hear that our efforts to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space make a difference. Thank you for choosing Heritage Harbor, and we hope to host you again in the future!

My girlfriends and I had a great time staying at Heritage Harbor in a A View to a Chill. We all had ample space to spread out and were near the pool, and restaurant. They had some fun activities planned over the Memorial Day weekend, which we enjoyed.
We're so glad you and your girlfriends had a wonderful stay at A View to a Chill! It’s great to hear the home provided plenty of space to relax and that you enjoyed the convenient access to the pool, restaurant, and Memorial Day activities. We love hosting guests for fun weekends like this and hope to welcome you back for another memorable getaway soon!

This was our first time renting directly with Heritage Harbor Inn, but not our first time staying at Heritage Harbor. We really enjoyed it the first time. Clean, quiet, close to town and several hiking trails. It was a no brainer for us to stay at Heritage Harbor Inn. I will say at first it was a bit concerning as our original rental became unavailable after booking. However it was assured that the new property was a bit of an upgrade. The staff were very helpful and assured us we would be taken care of. Overall we’re very pleased with our stay and would definitely book again…. Actually, we’ll be back in September 😉
Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review! We’re honored that you chose to stay with Harbor Inn this time around, especially after already enjoying Heritage Harbor in the past. We're sorry for the initial hiccup with your original rental, but we're so glad the upgraded home worked out and that our team was able to ease any concerns. It means a lot to hear you felt well taken care of. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back in September!

We stayed here for 2 nights with our four kids. Spacious, clean, all the amenities you would want and need. Very nice layout with kids rooms downstairs and master on main floor. Perfectly located near pool, pickleball and volleyball courts. We spent both days exploring Matthiessen state park and Starved Rock and this was a great landing spot after a day of hiking. Very reasonably priced and lots of restaurant options in Utica and Ottawa nearby. We are definitely looking forward to returning again next year. Our ONLY one suggestion is that the beds are pretty hard. The linens are lovely and soft but all of us felt like our sleep was affected by how hard/firm the beds all are. Perhaps an inexpensive foam topper on each bed could significantly help with that. Overall, highly recommend and we will be back.

We loved our stay! The unit was perfect! We rented out A View to Chill and Marina Tower to fit 16 family members and it was perfect! We filled our time between pickleball, fishing, the pool and the live music across the street. We hope to return next year.

30 Presbyterian pastors from across the U.S. stayed throughout the Heritage Harbor Resort in 14 different units, mostly in Navvy Town. Without exception, every space was beautiful, clean, well equipped, and beautifully situated. Sherayne and Rich we’re perfect hosts making our stay exceptional. I would highly recommend this resort.

We had a wonderful time staying at this place. We had a great time meeting Richard and Ashley in the welcome center both were very nice and helpful. We could tell that the place was fairly new by the new smell inside. Also just to let you know, the exhaust fan in the master bathroom did not work. We do plan on staying there again next year for our annual meeting with my sister and bother-in-law. Thank you so much for accommodating us on such short notice also. Also just to let you know that you were recommended by Kishauwau Cabins.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the home to be a great fit for your group, especially with its convenient location.
