A Nod to History:
The Cut gets its name from the deep channels—cuts—that made the Illinois & Michigan Canal navigable, opening the way for trade, travel, and transformation across the Midwest. Built by hand in the 1800s, the canal connected Lake Michigan to the Illinois River, forever altering the economy and movement of people between Chicago, LaSalle, St. Louis, and beyond. Staying in Navvy Town places you right in the middle of that story—with modern comforts to match.
The Cut is professionally managed by Harbor Inn Vacation Rentals, your local team at Heritage Harbor dedicated to making your stay unforgettable.
