My ONLY complaint is the massive amount of cobwebs and dead bugs in our cottage.

My ONLY complaint is the massive amount of cobwebs and dead bugs in our cottage. Our girls were freaked out to sleep on the sofa bed because of all the webs and bugs on the lights and ceiling - both dead and alive. My husband had to clean the huge spider webs off of the light fixture over the kitchen table. It had dead moths and other bugs stuck in the web….not very welcoming and just plain gross. We would have cleaned the others off just to make the couple days better but didn’t have anything tall enough to reach the vaulted ceilings. ?? Pearla (spelling?) was awesome. She was incredibly helpful both times we called the office.

Wonderful little get away!

We were looking for a relaxing get away for two and we certainly found it at Heritage Harbor! The house was VERY clean. It was cozy and relaxing. Heritage Harbor is a safe little area with bright cheery rental houses lined up like doll houses. This cottage had a beautiful view with a deck overlooking the water. There was excellent communication for check in and check out. The nearby town of Ottawa has a bunch of cute little shops and great local restaurants. Too bad we did not stay long enough to try them all! It was also the perfect driving distance to Starved Rock State Park. The gorgeous hiking there is what we came for, and the great accommodations at Heritage Harbor will have us coming back, for sure!

The house we stayed at was great.

The house we stayed at was great. Clearly very new, but because of that it seemed to be missing a lot of the key "starter kit" items. We had to go buy dish soap, trash bags, salt, pepper, cooking spray, etc. We were hoping the house would have basic items like that but it seems like no one had ever really cooked in it. Your customer service was great

Felt 100% safe, never questioned it, PRICELESS! I was super impressed with the text and email updates. Receiving the email with all the house rules and events in Ottawa was very helpful, kudos to you for having everything at my fingertips. I also enjoyed checking in and out using “contact free” security code. Again, great communication, don’t change a thing!
