Experience A Cozy Cottage Getaway At Harbor Inn

Harbor Inn Cottage Rentals by Heritage Harbor are the perfect way to savor the sights and sounds of the season, while still staying cozy and socially distant on your vacation.

Located in Ottawa’s Heritage Harbor marina resort community, only about a 90-minute drive from the heart of Chicago, these fully furnished luxury cottages are impeccably decorated, and feature all the essentials you need to feel at home along the waterfront. This slice of harbor life allows you to unwind in a tranquil and private setting, while still being just a short drive away from some of the region’s best restaurants, parks and boutique shopping.

Creating simple and relaxing moments is what Heritage Harbor is about, and these cottages deliver.

You’ll find a wide selection of units, suitable for housing a single couple up to larger family gatherings. There are even a few pet-friendly options and an on-site dog park just a short walk away from the cottages.

Relax in these beautifully designed private units, enjoy a bonfire by the harbor or admire the lingering fall colors along the scenic Illinois River Road. There are countless ways to experience the remaining weeks of autumn near Heritage Harbor. Starved Rock is only a 20-minute drive from your front door, allowing you to beat the crowds and truly appreciate the serenity of this sprawling state park.

Guests can dine at Heritage Harbor’s delicious on-site restaurant, The Red Dog Grill, which sports a heated patio and a beautiful view of the marina. At this covered dining area, you’ll find a wide selection of seafood and progressive American fare. The modernized takes on Midwestern tavern classics have been a big hit with their loyal fan base, along with a terrific selection of cocktails, craft beers and wines.

Not quite ready to dine in? Food from The Red Dog Grill can be delivered directly to your cottage, each with its own full kitchen and dining area, complete with all the essential plates and cutlery.

Be sure to bring your bikes along for the trip, as Heritage Harbor is located directly next to an entrance to the Illinois & Michigan Canal State Trail. The former 70-mile canal towpath is now home to some of the best hiking and biking you’ll find in Illinois. This bikeable path gives you easy access to downtown Ottawa without having to hop in your car.
