SERENITY NOW
Welcome to this waterfront cottage with a spectacular view of the river! A home away from home. Kitchen features an electric range along with pots, pans and serving utensils. The open living room lets the chef join in the party.

Comfortable beds and quality bedding awaits you in each of the two bedrooms. Marvel at the water, trees and wildlife. The patio is a relaxing outdoor escape, or walk down to the community fire pit and meet your neighbors.

House Rules:
During your stay, we ask that you remember to be respectful of your neighbors. Quiet hours are from 10pm- 7am.  Events, parties or gatherings in or around the home are forbidden. Tents are not allowed on property. 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.

Just What We Needed
The hubby and I wanted a peaceful weekend getaway to relax and unplug. This place delivered! The property was beautiful inside and out. The waterfront views were gorgeous, the neighbors friendly, and property cozy, clean, and welcoming! We will be booking a stay here again.

Quick socially distanced getaway
Heritage Harbor is an in-progress community that will be amazing when its complete.We rented "Somewhere Else",a cute 2 story cottage right on the river with amazing views.The decor was super cute...but a few suggestions: the master bedroom really needs a ceiling fan and a better bed frame.The room was stuffy even with AC on and the bedframe squeaked with the slightest move, despite the matress being comfy. There are also LOTS of river bugs that get in the house...not a huge deal, but annoying. The renter ahead of us left the grill a mess and when I went to clean it, the grease trap was FILLED with cigarette butts! Ewww...otherwise, a nice cottage and lots to do: swimming, boating.The onsite restaurant has a great lobster quesedilla!
