About the host
Hosted by Sharon
Hi, I’m Sharon! I fell in love with Heritage Harbor for its mix of waterfront beauty, community energy, and easy access to Starved Rock Country. Hosting allows me to share that experience with others.
I designed The Lookout to feel both stylish and comfortable — a place where families, friends, and couples can relax, reconnect, and make memories. When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me exploring local trails, enjoying sunsets on the water, or planning events that bring people together.
My goal is for every guest to feel welcome, cared for, and inspired by the natural beauty all around.

Why they chose this property
Heritage Harbor is more than a location — it’s an experience. Nestled along the Illinois River, the neighborhood blends marina life with small-town charm and natural beauty. Boats drift by, sunsets paint the sky, and live music often fills the air.
From your doorstep, you can walk scenic harbor paths, enjoy dining right at the marina, or head just minutes away to explore Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks with their waterfalls, trails, and breathtaking fall foliage. Orchards, wineries, and historic downtown Ottawa round out the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and cozy Midwest hospitality.
It’s the best of both worlds: a vibrant community setting with peaceful river views and quick access to some of Illinois’ most-loved attractions.

It’s a place where golden sunsets, cozy fireplaces, and laughter around the fire pit create lasting memories.
