Captain's Quarters | 1 Bed, 1 Bath

Captain's Quarters

Welcome to Captain's Quarters, your ultimate vacation paradise! This beautifully designed cottage offers a perfect mix of comfort and character creating the ideal escape for couples, small families, or friends.

Inside, the open-concept living space welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, an electric fireplace, and large windows that fill the home with warm, natural light. The kitchen features a rolling cart with a stainless steel top, providing a flexible and functional island for meal prep or casual dining. Step onto the screened-in front porch to savor tranquil river views and the refreshing breeze in a serene and private setting.

This cozy retreat accommodates up to four guests, with two queen beds—one in the main bedroom and another in the loft, accessed by a charming captain’s ladder. The loft adds a whimsical touch while providing a snug and restful space.

Outside, you’ll find a patio with seating for four and a charcoal grill, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal while basking in the riverside ambiance. As the sun sets, wander down to the community firepit to roast marshmallows, swap stories, and connect with neighbors in the friendly Cottages at Heron’s Landing community.

Captain's Quarters is more than just a cottage—it’s a haven for relaxation, connection, and creating unforgettable memories by the river.

More like a hotel then home away from home
The location was beautiful and the house clean. We had a good stay over all. Check in was easy and the amnesties in the immediate area were great. I will say this is more like a hotel than a home. We cooked every meal in the cabin and it was lacking essentials like cooking oil, spices, enough silverware, non peeling pans, etc. I imagine this listing would cater to people who are eating most every meal out.

Great location
We spent a long weekend hiking the nearby state parks. This location is great! The neighborhood was cute and the views on the river were stellar. The Red Dog Grill was close and convenient with good food/drinks. My only complaint was lack of a place to hang coats, etc.

Heritage Harbor is a charming "home away from home.
Heritage Harbor is a charming "home away from home." Captain's Quarters was perfect for the two of us. I love that the homes have either a porch or balcony (or both). The Illinois River is beautiful and the area is quiet and not crowded. What a great place to enjoy the outdoors and relax. The Red Dog Grill was a nice place to eat and is just steps away from where we stayed. The morning run and evening concert create a sense of community. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Overall we loved that we stayed here for our anniversary, even if the cottage we stayed in didn't totally meet our expectations. We loved all the people we talked to and even enjoyed kayaking in the rain Thursday afternoon. The team members we interacted with were quite helpful. Pearla came over to the cottage to try to figure out what was going on with our tv which we really appreciated.

Our property was wonderful and we enjoyed our stay.
Our property was wonderful and we enjoyed our stay. Only drawback was the guests in the rental next to us. They had 3 dogs which they let run off leash (one left a mess in our yard that we "found" when we were wheeling our cooler outside and ran over it) and left on the screened in front porch while they left the home - the dogs barked at anyone who walked by - this was as early as 6am and as late as 11pm. Same guests were at the pool past hours and were loud. We would stay again, but would prefer to be in a cottage away from the "pet friendly" ones. WiFi was not working in our cottage. When we finally reached staff they were very helpful in getting it resolved.

Some amenities weren't open such as the Marina and boat rentals, Red Dog Grill and pool because we were there in March. Would have taken advantage of these if we could have.

Peaceful retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was charming and clean. We went for long walks around the marina, it was beautiful. We wanted to pass on that there weren't enough paper products at the cottage, and we had to go and purchase our own. And, so sorry, my husband and I have what looks like spider bites all over. We assume it's from the mattress. We just wanted to inform you of that!
