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.

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.
