Harbor Ridge Resort offers a serene escape with beautiful surroundings and an engaging atmosphere. The wildlife visits and unique features, like the sky vents in the spacious accommodations, added to the experience. Annette's warm welcome made for a smooth start to our stay; however, the lack of many activities on-site might not suit everyone. Overall, it's great for those seeking tranquility and nature access, but families looking for more entertainment may need to plan ahead.
