Same time next year.

The Pacific coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world and The Heritage House allows you to experience all of it’s beauty. We not only enjoyed our walks around the property with our dog but enjoyed being so close to many hikes, be it on the beach or in the Redwoods. Our room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were very good.

This is by far one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. You cannot beat this view and it's dog friendly. Our dog Louie absolutely loved it. We spent the whole day walking around the property, looking at the ocean and staring at the sky. The service and hospitality are really great. Can't wait to come back. Also, thank you for the upgrade!!!! Wow

This is a gorgeous property, overlooking one of the most scenic spots along the Mendocino coast. The rooms are cozy and romantic, and our sunset room had the most incredible deck with a view over the ocean. They went above and beyond in a busy holiday weekend, we had to split the stay over 2 different rooms since there was no availability of the same room for all days at time of booking; however once on the property they managed to let us stay in the same room without having to check out and back in in the new room. One minor thing, they used to have a la carte breakfast, now they switched to a buffet which is overall ok, but for a place of this level I'd prefer a more elevated experience with made to order dishes. Also the restaurant was sadly closed for lunch.

We had a beautiful, relaxing time at Heritage House Resort and Spa. Our space was beautiful, clean and so comfortable. We did not ask for an "ocean view", but could certainly see it from our side window and porch up on the hill. It is located on a beautiful hillside overlooking the ocean. The free breakfast was very substantial and a highlight each morning. State Parks are all around and we took advantage of that for some wonderful hikes. We stayed mid week so the property was very quiet and peaceful. Staff was always helpful and pleasant.

The property is in an unbeatable location. Even though we visited in the summertime (hello fog!), we really enjoyed the view. We also saw deer and a blue heron from our room (which really was a cabin). The staff were extremely friendly and gave great recommendations on food options in the area beyond just the hotel restaurant. Overall, a very clean, safe, and beautiful location. Highly recommend for the area for a quiet get-away!
