You'll listen to live music from The Suits and Eric Totherow, followed by Last Night in White on Sunday with music, games, an ice cream food truck, and more.

Make the most of your long weekend. Stay, explore, and enjoy everything happening around Heritage Harbor.

The views are just the beginning.

The Vue is coming to Heritage Harbor, bringing a new waterfront setting for weddings, celebrations, corporate events, and unforgettable gatherings.

And when the celebration is over, your guests can stay right here at Harbor Inn Vacation Rentals and make even more of the experience.

We can't wait to welcome you to The Vue.

It’s called The Vue for a reason.

Set along the waterfront at Heritage Harbor, The Vue was designed to make the setting part of the experience.

The views. The atmosphere. The people gathered around you. All coming together to make your event feel like something more.

We’re still putting the finishing touches in place. Soon, it will be your turn to experience The Vue.

Fall has a way of making you slow down and appreciate the simple things.

A morning by the water. An afternoon spent fishing. The dogs tagging along. A little extra time outside before heading back in.

Sounds like a pretty good weekend to us.
