Harbor Inn

What our guests have to say

Stayed here for spring weekend with my Mom to get away. Home was relaxing, clean, cozy and both back patios wonderful to sit on and watch the river, calmness and occasional boat. The staff at the Welcome Center were fantastic. Rich was very helpful with information and suggestions.

Wonderful Home & LocationBryan B

We had a wonderful time staying at this place. We had a great time meeting Richard and Ashley in the welcome center. Both were very nice and helpful. We could tell that the place was fairly new by the new smell inside. Also just to let you know, the exhaust fan in the master bathroom did not work. We do plan on staying there again next year for our annual meeting with my sister and brother-in-law. Thank you so much for accommodating us on such short notice also. Also just to let you know that you were recommended by Kishauwau Cabins. Thanks Dan & Sue.

Wonderful PlaceDan S

Wonderful location for exploring the local state parks. House was in great shape and had all of the amenities we needed for our stay. Easy check in and check out. Thanks!

Great Stay! Christopher H

Heritage Harbor was the perfect spot for us to call home while we made a weekend out of hiking the nearby state parks. The guest services were always a text away and quick to respond to any needs or questions. Our property was clean, well equipped, spacious for three of us (well 4 including our four legged loved one), and had all the necessary amenities including pickleball paddle and balls for the nearby courts. We really enjoyed our stay and glad we found Heritage Harbor to call home for a few days.
