River Retreat | 2 Bed, 2.5 Bath

RIVER RETREAT

This is River Retreat--where simple living meets the unique majesty of the Illinois waterway! Enjoy the serenity on the second level deck or screened in porch. Escape from the hustle and bustle of Monday through Friday life on the weekend or stay awhile and relax and recoup.

The kitchen and dining room area is one continuous space, allowing for cooking and socializing without anyone missing out on the fun. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, mixing bowls, a blender, coffee maker and all the utensils a well-equipped kitchen needs to cook. Two bedrooms with queen size beds and an additional queen size pull out sofa provide enough sleeping room for everyone in your party.

House Rules:
During your stay, we ask that you remember to be respectful of your neighbors. Quiet hours are from 10pm- 7am. For real, take the party to the many downtown bars, where live music is always playing.

Additionally, thank you for respecting our "no smoking" and "no pets" policy so that we can keep our properties in the best condition possible. Pets include but are not limited to cats, zebras, livestock, and/or spouses. Should you choose to ignore this, there will be a $300 fine assessed for breaking either of these rules. We thank you for refraining and being respectful of our homes - please don't make us hunt you down for fines as it cuts into our naptime.

Also, do not forget to enjoy all the nearby amenities and activities including swimming, fire pits, kayaking, kite flying, trail hiking/walking, bike riding trails, craft beer and wine tasting, zip lining, sky diving, glass blowing, and much more, not to mention the fun you will have just strolling around the Harbor.

Fun girls weekend
This was perfect for a girls getaway. Relaxing and serene vibes while having a fun and delicious restaurant onsite. Close to grocery stores and cute coffee shops. While I know not at all properties here have this, this one did have fishing poles available. Loved that! Thanks for letting us stay!

Great weekend find
Hiking in the area? Escaping big city life for some downtime? Heritage Harbor is your place. Our house had all the amenities for our young family. Kids slept well, saw a pair of bald eagles from the balcony, and the house fit what we needed. Highly recommend.
