We had a wonderful long weekend! Having a toddler we appreciated the proximity to the pool. Our dogs also loved the dog park and meeting other dogs in the neighborhood. The rental worked well for our needs!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that the close access to the pool made your stay easier with your toddler, and that your dogs enjoyed the dog park and meeting new furry friends. It’s great to know the rental met all your needs. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

The cottage was amazing. The only thing I didn’t like was that the front porch light was very dim and the front door being glass needed to have a blind or a curtain on it and there should’ve been extra sheets and linens there were blankets, lots of blankets and extra seat cushion, which I totally utilized in one of the chairs by the river, so that was great just no extra sheets
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cottage and made the most of those extra cushions by the river—what a perfect spot to relax!We appreciate your feedback about the front porch light and the glass door—we’ll definitely look into adding a blind for a little extra coziness and privacy. And while we're glad the blankets were plentiful, we hear you on the extra sheets! We'll make sure to have them ready for your next stay so you can be even more comfy.Thanks again for staying with us! Come back soon for more riverside relaxation!

Heritage Harbor was the perfect spot for us to call home while we made a weekend out of hiking the nearby state parks. The guest services were always a text away and quick to respond to any needs or questions. Our property was clean, well equipped, spacious for three of us (well 4 including our four legged loved one), and had all the necessary amenities including pickleball paddle and balls for the nearby courts. We really enjoyed our stay and glad we found Heritage Harbor to call home for a few days.
