Summary: This cozy home was perfect for a long weekend for our family of 4. The loft spaces were perfect for our two tween kids. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch. The Harbor Inn community had a lot to do - pool, boat rentals, bike rentals, and the onsite restaurant had great food and service! We loved the location on the river and proximity to the state parks and Ottawa.
