Located a short drive north of Heritage House, Mendocino is a centuries-old artist community that’s as charming as it is inspiring. Originally the home of a lumber mill, the first residents brought the architectural heritage of New England to their new sea-kissed home. This legacy makes Mendocino an ideal location for visitors and filmmakers alike.

Whether it’s used as the location of the classic film East of Eden, with James Dean, or the fictional Cabot Cove in the TV show Murder She Wrote, Mendocino has long been cherished for its timelessness and its irreplaceable beauty. The town offers visitors many opportunities for activities such as exploring, shopping, dining and hiking the coastline.

Only ten minutes north on the incomparable Highway One, the journey is part of the enjoyment of the town that time preserved.
