Enjoyed the location: right on the water and close to fun dining and shops in Ottawa. Hiked at Starved Rock, then are at one of the delicious Ottawa restaurants and finished the day with a leisurely walk around the lake. Very enjoyable.House was stocked with laundry detergent (which we forgot) and plenty of kitchen equipment.Enjoyed relaxing in the little living room and watching the rain out of the wall of kitchen windows.Could have used a few more wash cloths in the bathroom.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of everything the area has to offer—from the hiking and local dining to relaxing by the water. We appreciate your feedback about the washcloths and will be sure to pass that along to our team. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon!

The house was perfect and had most of what we needed for two nights. Very clean and good location. We couldn't get the door code to work so guest services reset once we called. Our internet wouldn't work the whole time so we weren't able to watch TV as it was all internet based. Guest services did provide us with another internet login but must have been a neighbor as the signal was too weak to watch anything on TV.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so glad to hear the home was clean, comfortable, and well-located for your stay. We’re sorry, however, for the trouble with the door code and internet connection. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can work with our team to improve the experience for future guests. We hope you’ll consider staying with us again—we’d love the chance to provide a seamless visit next time.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights mid-week in the Aphrodite at Heritage Harbor. It was the perfect size for the two of us and the location with the marina view can't be beat! A quick drive to downtown Ottawa awarded us with plenty to do and see. The amenities on site were nice; we spent our afternoons soaking up the sun in one of the pools. The pool closest to our cottage was closed for cleaning, which we were notified of in advance of arriving, but a second pool was a short distance away. Upon checking in, we found our cottage had no hot water, but after a quick call to the office, maintenance was there immediately to fix it and we had no issues the remainder of our stay. Heritage Harbor is a hidden gem! We will definitely be back for another stay in the future and would highly recommend a vacation rental at Heritage Harbor to anyone looking for a beautiful, close place to get away!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Aphrodite was the perfect size for you and that you enjoyed the marina views, local attractions, and pools. We appreciate your understanding regarding the temporary pool closure and the hot water issue, our team is always ready to ensure our guests have a comfortable stay. It’s wonderful to hear you’d recommend Heritage Harbor, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another getaway!

My wife and I loved being on the water duirng this quiet time of year. We could relax and and unwind. The location is perfect. 25 minutes from starved rock, 10 minutes from downtown Ottowa, and close to home. We liked the kitchenette and being able to make breakfasts and ease into our day. The only down sides were the bed was not that comfortable and 1 TV didn't work. But we are already talking about coming back
Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re so glad you and your wife were able to enjoy some quiet time by the water. There’s something extra special about being here in the off-season, and it sounds like you made the most of it! We’re happy to hear the kitchenette made your mornings a little more relaxed. We appreciate the notes about the bed and the TV—we’ll definitely take a closer look and make improvements where we can. It means a lot that you’re already thinking about a return visit. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We really enjoyed our stay. Evenings on the back porch, watching the day turn to night were awesome. We will return!

We stayed 2 nights mid week in unit 226 which is on the Harbor side. It was very quiet and peaceful. The pool was very clean and the walking path along the water was very nice for an evening stroll. They are located just minutes to downtown Ottawa and 1/2 hr drive to Starved Rock area. We look forward to our next visit.

We enjoyed our stay and loved Harbor Inn. Aphrodite is a perfect location and a very nice home and we could sit on the back deck all day and watch the boats. We reported a few things we noticed needing repair but they would not prevent us from staying again. Downtown Ottowa provides several nice options for dinner and drinks. This is in addition to the onsite restaurant and live music available at Harbor Inn.

It was a lovely cottage. I told staff about the toilet running and the rear patio door did not lock.

Super cute house. Nice view of the dock/water. Peaceful and serene. Love the neighborhood. Very nice people in the office and on phones. Had a few things that could be improved on. There was dog hair everywhere. Even on the sheets. My kid sat on the rug and the hair was all over her. And the pull out couch sheets had stains all over them.WiFi never worked, even after we received a different WiFi access. There was no hand soap and the bushes in front of the house were overgrown and couldn’t get by without running into them.
