Harbor Inn is located at a beautiful location on the Illinois River near Starve Rock. It offers rentals for water sports, pet friendly, and food within the facility. Wonderful place! I highly recommend this little bit of paradise to our family and friends.

Great place for 2 - there is an additional loft with double mattress on floor but access is by a fireman ladder, so very limited to whom could use it.Bedroom mattress is super thin as well as pillows. Comfort is not priority here but covers the basic needs.Same with utensils. Garbage disposal had bottle caps, etc in it upon arrival that we had to clean it out ourselves and sounded horrible on operation - we did not cook anything at the house so did not need/use but turned it on by mistake thinking it was lighting and surprise!Overall, for the price it is an awesome location right by the pool and marina. Just know it's very basic in terms of quality. Towels on the other hand were great! Love that Harbor Inn provides a few basics of toiletries and dish soap, laundry pods, diswasher pods.
