Private Cozy Cottage In The Heart Of Mendocino Village

Escape to this private, peaceful cottage in the heart of Mendocino Village - the setting for "Cabot Cove" and the unfolding mysteries of the popular TV series "Murder She Wrote." Enjoy a spacious studio cottage with king size bed, bath with shower, desk area, wi-fi, cable tv, private porch and delightful garden. While you can certainly relax and rejuvenate in the comfort of the cottage, you will undoubtedly want to explore this historic, quaint and quirky coastal village. A short stroll will take you to majestic coastal bluffs where you can whale-watch and listen to the calls of the passing sea lions, or wander into town for a hot chocolate or glass of wine at the historic Mendocino Hotel.

The many art galleries, restaurants, shops, and hiking trails with spectacular coastal views are sure to delight. Or experience the uniqueness that Mendocino and its locals proudly celebrate.

Our stay at Heather’s space was so comfortable & sweet. The location makes walking into town for coffee, lunch & dinner so much fun & it’s just a short walk to the ocean! We throughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was spacious & the bed was comfortable! The gardens around Heathers house & garden were also so magical to walk through on the way to the door! We will definitely stay here again!

Nice Mendocino Cottage
My husband and I spent 5 days in Heather's little cottage. We found Heather easy to work with, and pleasant to talk to, but not intrusive. Usually would find her out working in her beautiful garden. The cottage is right in the middle of town - easy walk to the Headlands, restaurants, shops, anywhere you want to go. The cottage is clean with all the basics - comfortable bed, small kitchenette, and bath with shower. We spent 5 days here and were very comfortable.

A great location in Mendocino
My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and Heather was very hospitable. The location made it a short walk to restaurants and the theater. The kitchenette is compact, but workable, especially if you're planning to eat mostly in restaurants. I would recommend it.

If you want a relatively no frills, but completely comfortable place to stay that is ideally located within walking distance of Mendocino village, this is the place. In addition, you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful, surrounding floral garden. Would stay again.

Mendo Experience
My wife and stayed in this cabin for a few days. The cabin is excellent for two people that would like to experience the cousins and local restaurants/bars, since there are no oven or stove. Heather is pleasant and helpful. The grounds/garden are gorgeous and full of flowers and plants. Location is ideal since the cabin is in the town of Mendocino.

My husband and I needed to go on a last minute get away, and this sweet cottage filled our cup! We loved the location and the lovely garden that surrounds the property. The price of the cottage beats any hotel in the area and the accommodations are perfect for two. Heather was a lovely host and a joy to meet. We will definitely return!
