About this property

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 had a delightful stay at the cottage during our quick weekend trip to Mendocino. The location was perfect right in the middle of town and we were able to walk down to the Headlands State Park as well as the downtown art galleries and cafes. Heather is a fantastic host and we will absolutely seek this place out on our next trip to Mendocino.

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.

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!

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.
