Great Getaway spot!!!
My husband and 14 month old came from St Louis for a long weekend. I’m originally from Streator, and this location was the best in order to feel like a vacation and go to Chicago for a day, while still being close to see family. It has a true getaway feel, has the easiest access to the pool, great views, and lots of space. I know we will be back!
We did a girls college weekend reunion and ended our use of this charming well decorated home! Perfect for our gathering & relaxing! We will be back?!
It was so relaxing, and clean. Very friendly and informative
Awesome. This is our 2nd stay and we’ll be back. Great
Overall, we had a fantastic time. We were trying to recreate the vibe of a vacation spot we'd been going to for over a decade in northern Michigan, that we couldn't go to this year, and for a first time visit it hit all high notes. Impressive! I look forward to a potential repeat visit. Everyone was very friendly and polite.
The property was easy to get to, the homes were all beautiful and the walking paths to see all of them, made a great outside adventure possible. The river and boats in the inlet were also a great backdrop both visually and made for good conversation amongst adults and young ones. We loved the experience, knowing that we had a lovely home to go back to any time of the day or night. The members of your team were conscientious, friendly and accommodating. Beth described the homes and it helped us so much as we had 2 young children with us and some of the homes would not have worked with them. Home # 7 fit our needs excellently.
My husband and I needed a place to stay for three nights with our pup. It wasn’t a vacation as we were both working however we’re familiar with heritage harbor and what a lovely resort it is and decided to stay at a cottage that was pet friendly versus going to a hotel. It was great having our own space with kitchen and baths and enjoyed our privacy and our peace and quiet. We’d love to come back during a warmer season so we can enjoy the boating and all of the outdoor recreation this area has to offer. The cottage was lovely and very homey.
We enjoyed our stay. So clean and inviting.
House was great - got a little warm at night. We would have loved to use the porches more but the weather didn't cooperate. It was great to be able to bring our dog. Staff at check in was very friendly and accommodating.
