Harbor Inn 1 Great Loop East Drive, Ottawa, IL 61350

"We really enjoyed our stay. Loved watching the boats from our porch. House was well supplied and clean. We are looking forward to returning at some point."

"Our recent escape to the Harbor Master Villa was nothing short of enchanting! If you're on the hunt for a dreamy spot for a romantic retreat, this place ticks all the boxes. To start, the location is a hidden gem, nestled snugly in the quaint south side neighborhood of The VILLAS at Heron's Landing. Here, you get to experience the perfect blend of serenity and adventure. The view from the back porch, overlooking the Harbor, was a mesmerizing canvas, especially during those breathtaking moments at sunrise and sunset. The first thing that struck us was how meticulously clean and well-kept the house was. The kitchen was impressively equipped, boasting top-notch appliances including a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, and all the kitchen gear one could need. All we had to do was bring our groceries, and we cooked up our favorite meals. The bedroom was an absolute haven, featuring a cozy queen-size bed and an additional flat-screen TV for those lazy mornings. Each day, we relished our coffee on the covered porch, soaking up the serene atmosphere. It was the perfect spot for simply savoring the tranquility. But what truly made our stay exceptional were the wonderful neighbors we had the pleasure of meeting. Their warmth and friendliness added an extra layer of charm to the whole experience, making us feel like we were part of a tight-knit community. The only downside? We couldn't help but envy our fellow guests who had their furry companions with them. For our next visit, we're already contemplating one of the cottages that welcome pets. In summary, our time at the Harbor Master Villa was a memory etched in our hearts. The immaculate and cozy accommodations, the genuine camaraderie of our neighbors, and those awe-inspiring views made our romantic getaway truly special. We're already eagerly anticipating our next visit to this delightful haven. Thanks for providing us with the perfect retreat!"

"So glad we found this gem! Close to home and everything needed for a relaxing yet fun paced getaway! We will definitely return!"

"We rented "On The Rocks" for 2 nights. 5 stars in every way. It was perfect. Spacious, clean, great location on the river, well decorated, comfy beds, and welcoming. I would love to stay there again!"

"This was our third time staying on the property; we usually got smaller houses. We were part of a larger party between three houses. Our grill was completely rusted, I called and was told I would receive a call back which I didn't. There was a tiny grill to replace the rusted one which I didn't see until the check out because I wasn't notified. I ended up having to order catering for 20 people because the grill was rusted and the tiny grill I wasn't even notified it was there. The replacement grill wouldn't have accommodated the cooking for 20 people. The house was clean but not as stocked as the photos showed. We weren't provided with adequate garbage bags or toilet paper for the house. I was quiet disappointed with the above considering the price of the house and how many people the house could accommodate. We had 6 adults and 1 child in our house and that wasn't even fully capacity for the home. Overall, I do not think the house is worth the price point. The other homes we stayed in were way better stocked for a fraction of the cost. All homes should be cared for/stocked in the same way not vary from owner to owner. We will probably be looking for other rental communities for upcoming large family vacations."
