Staycation

We had a great time staying at the Red Anchor. It was charming, clean, and cozy. The location was great, close to Red Dog, and not far from downtown Ottawa. Heritage Harbor was the perfect getaway for our family.

Great stay

Enjoyed our stay liked the cottage and how it's decorated. The location is perfect close by to all amenities. Liked the dock layed on it and foated up and down. Did not get to the restaurant but it was packed every night and it was because of pandemic we did not venture in. Live band played in marina could hear it on hill across didn't have to go to the bar to enjoy.

Stone’s Throw

Great location and house. River views and close to everything at resort. Rented pontoon boat for half day. Crew very helpful and boat was great! Red Dog restaurant very understaffed. Went for lunch and left after 20 minutes when no server came to our table. Only suggestion for the house would be to install ceiling fans in LR and bedrooms

Great family getaway

Enjoyed a spring break getaway not far from Chicago. Tidy & comfortable house on the Illinois River close to Starved Rock. Looking forward to coming back in the summer for boating, swimming, etc.
