RiverZen - Your Quiet Getaway on the Illinois River!
Located right on the Illinois River within the beautiful Heritage Harbor resort, RiverZen offers the perfect escape with its pristine, peaceful setting. Enjoy private, uninterrupted panoramic views of the river from multiple decks, providing a serene atmosphere to unwind and relax.
As a self-proclaimed clean freak, I ensure that everything—including the floors—is thoroughly washed after every guest, guaranteeing a spotless stay for you.
Your Perfect Relaxation Spot!
Whether you're here for a few nights or a week, this is the place to unwind. The area offers a wealth of activities, yet you can also simply relax on one of the decks and let time slow down. Spend your days reading, watching barges glide by, or observing eagles soaring and landing across the river, where untouched woodlands create a stunning, peaceful backdrop.
Fully Stocked Villa with Comfortable Amenities!
This charming villa features two spacious bedrooms: a master with a king-size bed and a second with a trundle bed. The main level also includes a brand-new queen sleeper sofa for extra sleeping space.
The open floor plan offers all the comforts of home, including a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy gas fireplace, and two and a half bathrooms, ensuring plenty of room for relaxation and privacy for all your guests.
Amenities and Activities!
Enjoy a wide range of activities during your stay, including swimming, boating, kayaking, biking, and fishing right off the property. Experience bird watching, with eagles and other species frequently spotted, or relax while watching barges pass by right from one of the decks. Additional activities include fire pits, kite flying, corn hole, and much more—there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Just a 3-minute walk away, the marina offers a variety of activities and amenities, including a playground, three swimming pools (open from May to the end of September), volleyball, pickleball, cornhole, a tiki bar, and the Blue Gill restaurant for dinner and cocktails.
Adjacent to the resort, the I&M Canal Trail is perfect for walking, running, biking, and cross-country skiing. If you're interested, there's also a free 5k every Saturday morning around the marina.
Minutes from Downtown Ottawa!
Just minutes away from downtown, you'll find a charming area filled with unique local spots. Enjoy cozy coffee shops, an independent bookstore, an old-fashioned movie theater, craft beer and wine shops, a toy store, a candy and ice cream shop, a variety of gift shops and museums. Whether you're browsing high-end boutiques, resale shops, antique stores, or historical sites there's something for everyone.
Ottawa is also home to a vibrant festival scene throughout the year. Highlights include the Christkindl Market in November and December, Saturday markets with live music, Brew Fest, the Starved Rock Marathon, and numerous festivals and parades for children.
Proximity to Nearby Parks!
RiverZen is just minutes away from several beautiful parks, including Matthiessen, Illini, Buffalo, and Starved Rock State Parks. For a quieter, less-crowded experience, explore the nearby Dayton Bluffs Preserve, a hidden gem.
Quiet, Relaxing, Safe, and Extra Clean!
At RiverZen, cleanliness and comfort are a top priority. I have my own dedicated cleaning team, and the cleaning products and materials are used exclusively in my home. But don't just take my word for it—be sure to check out the reviews. Many of our guests are talented writers who share their wonderful experiences!
