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.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We like the outdoors and we could walk to the bluffs right from the cottage. We also went to Van Damme State Park, very close by. The cottage and yard are really nice, cozy and comfortable. We would stay here again!

This place is perfect for a weekend getaway. The shops and restaurants all in walking distant and beautiful neighborhood for a leisure scroll. Heather was a wonderful host and we enjoyed staying in her beautiful cottage. Her garden was an absolute gem especially seeing all the beautiful flowers this time of year. We will definitely be back for another visit! Highly recommend staying here!
