This is a great place to stay in Mendocino! The cottage was lovely, the garden was beautiful and Heather was a superior host. We loved being right in town and walking to restaurants, shops and beaches. We’ll definitely stay here on our next trip to Mendocino. Highly recommended!

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!
Heather has a beautiful garden, home and a very clean one bedroom/one bath unit that was very cozy. The sheets were so soft (we found out that she irons them!). We love our visits to Mendocino..we will be back to stay here, for sure!
This was our second stay at this place. It's small but comfortable, and the location makes it easy to walk to the headlands or restaurants in town. We'd stay there again.
Nice and cozy. It had everything we needed, and i really appreciated the coffee maker. Just steps from all the shops. Heather is a wonderful host, and her garden is beautiful. We will definitely dtay here again.

The cottage was very clean. Heather was a wonderful host. She brought us fresh towels and delicious muffins during a very rainy morning so we were comfortable. The location of the cottage was perfect for walking through town.
Heather was a great host. We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and well stocked. It is well maintained and decorated.

Such a beautiful little getaway cottage conveniently close to town for easy walking to dine out or just to go to the beach. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back
Great place to stay. Just a few blocks away from restaurants and shops, but also very quiet. Website description is very accurate and the cottage was very clean and comfortable.
Heather's cabin is incredible - you couldn't ask for a better location, so close to everything, while still feeling private! It's so cozy and has everything you need. Would definitely stay again.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hostess was helpful, friendly and informative. The gardens were beautiful and added a pleasant dimension to our stay. The location is ideal for visiting Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
