Nice cottage - Lots of Construction
POSITIVES -- Cute Cottage -- Nice Decor -- Very Clean -- Lovely Bathroom/Shower -- Soap, Lotion, Shampoo, Conditioner -- Well Stocked Kitchen. Dishes, Pots and Pans etc -- Parking right in front of Cottage -- Very Quiet Neighborhood -- Dog Friendly -- Easy to find and close drive to town -- Porch on the back of the house was cute NEGATIVES -- Frustrating Door Lock/Unlock system - Found that if you pull the door toward you when locking, it seemed to lock more easily. As far as unlocking, I have no clue. We would put the proper "code" in each time, sometimes it would unlock, sometimes not. -- Very uncomfortable bed. The mattress was concave. My husband and I would end up sliding into the "hole" in the center of the bed. We referred to it as The Abyss. -- Our nephew slept on the pull-out sofa bed. He also noted that it was not very comfortable. Not sure what the problem was there, but he ended up just sleeping on the sofa instead of the pull-out sofa bed. -- Lots of construction going on. The area doesn't look as pretty as it does in the photos since there are piles of dirt and half built houses seemingly everywhere. This area is cute, but I think very soon it is going to have a little house or big house choking out anything resembling nature. Maybe I am not a fan of crowded subdivisions, I don't know. So, take that comment with a grain of salt. It is a nice place, cute. We visited for 4 nights in November. The weather was great and we did a LOT of hiking at nearby Starved Rock State Park. My husband would walk our dog in the subdivision in the morning and in the evening. We really just needed a place to sleep and a place that was welcoming to our dog. This place was fine for those things. I think the sleeping problems could be easily fixed by investing in a decent mattress, and maybe a mattress for the pull-out bed.
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022

Heritage Harbor is a new and beautiful addition to Ottawa.
Heritage Harbor is a new and beautiful addition to Ottawa. Our small cottage was very efficient and lovely. We had a view of the Harbor, and a balcony with a view of the Harbor. It is a delightful place to rent a cottage for any amount of time. There are beautiful new homes being built along the Harbor - looks like a wonderful place to build a permanent home, or a vacation home. The Illinois River is beautiful - almost every home or cottage is facing the river or the harbor. Heritage Harbor is close to Starved Rock State Park - a close attraction. Check-in was easy and efficient. As mentioned before, we had some "locking" issues. Rich, from the Customer Service team, was very quick, and very helpful to us. He came right over to the cottage, to be sure that we were able to lock the cabin, when we were leaving. We appreciate his help.

Enjoyed our stay - can't wait to come back in warmer weather. Bridget gave us an outstanding tour, especially since weather not the best. Pre- arrival information from Tammy was thorough and follow up from both was appreciated. During our visit they both checked to see if we needed anything.
