Red Anchor

Welcome to Red Anchor, a cozy and inviting riverside retreat designed for relaxation and comfort.

Enter the home through a charming screened-in porch, where you can enjoy peaceful views of the river. Inside, the main floor features a welcoming living room with a pull-out couch, an electric fireplace for added coziness, and plenty of space to unwind. The fully stocked kitchen is perfect for preparing meals and opens onto a side patio through sliding glass doors. The patio includes a dining table, extra seating, and a gas grill—ideal for outdoor cooking and entertaining. A half bath and a convenient laundry area complete the main floor.

Upstairs, you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms, each featuring a queen bed and its own ensuite bathroom for privacy and comfort. One of the bedrooms also boasts access to a private balcony overlooking the river, offering a tranquil spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a quiet evening.

With its thoughtful layout, modern amenities, and serene riverside location, Red Anchor is the perfect escape for couples, friends, or small families seeking a memorable getaway.

Staycation

We had a great time staying at the Red Anchor. It was charming, clean, and cozy. The location was great, close to Red Dog, and not far from downtown Ottawa. Heritage Harbor was the perfect getaway for our family.

Great stay

Enjoyed our stay liked the cottage and how it's decorated. The location is perfect close by to all amenities. Liked the dock layed on it and foated up and down. Did not get to the restaurant but it was packed every night and it was because of pandemic we did not venture in. Live band played in marina could hear it on hill across didn't have to go to the bar to enjoy.

Great location and house. River views and close to everything at resort. Rented pontoon boat for half day. Crew very helpful and boat was great! Red Dog restaurant very understaffed. Went for lunch and left after 20 minutes when no server came to our table. Only suggestion for the house would be to install ceiling fans in LR and bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

Great family getaway

Enjoyed a spring break getaway not far from Chicago. Tidy & comfortable house on the Illinois River close to Starved Rock. Looking forward to coming back in the summer for boating, swimming, etc.
