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.

Great Spot

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.

Perfect getaway

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!

Beautiful area and located in the charming village of Mendocino. A walking paradise. The studio was clean, met all our expectations, and the grounds were a gardener’s delight. The host always answered my queries promptly. We’re looking forward to our return.
