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.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio. The cottage also includes a coffee maker.

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!

We love this place, have stayed twice now. It is conveniently close to the coast walks and food and shops in town. Very quiet street, nice parking, it feels very safe. The Garden is so beautiful and lush, we all enjoyed multiple walks around looking at all the different plants. Heather is very kind and we enjoyed talking with her.
