We had an amazing stay at Heritage House Resort! It was peaceful, beautiful, and exactly what my husband and I needed. We loved that it’s dog-friendly, and the goodie bag for our pup was such a thoughtful touch. We only stayed one night but wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect, and we can’t wait to return!

Excellent place to stay from checking to checkout. Welcomed with cookies and a pleasant conversation, very knowledgeable staff, very nice room with comfortable bed and great pillows. Big screen TV, excellent walk in rain forest shower and great amenities. Views of the ocean are incredible and there is a trail along the cliff down to a beech area. Quiet grounds with plenty of spaces to roam. Sitting deck on each cottage and close to town restaurants and shopping. The restaurant though we had a most enjoyable continental breakfast makes you feel like your in a 5 star place, lots of selections and all are fresh. Additional lattes etc available for a small purchase price. Great work out room and yoga also available. Would definitely stay again.

What I did not like was the parking situation. We stayed in a room that was very expensive but parking our car was terrible. We were suppose to have our own parking space but other cars were always parked there. We had to park our car on the road leading up to our room. I thought for sure for the price of the room I selected, we would at least have our own parking space. Staff was very helpful. The TV was Dish and we had to have help getting to channels. Different than Cable. The view was beautiful.

Just spent three nights in Mendocino at the Heritage House Resort. It was a beautiful resort, and the staff was very welcoming and thoughtful throughout our stay. We went to their spa for treatment and that was wonderful as well. We had rented the two-bedroom cottage, and they made sure we had firewood stacked and ready to light and brought us smores to enjoy one evening. The small touches were many! Their daily breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious with beautiful views from the dining room. I hope to return one day to this very special property.
