Faded Elegance
The best description I can offer is faded elegance. Very faded! The restaurant in the hotel is closed Monday and Tuesday for lunch and dinner so it is a five mile drive into Mendocino to eat. Maintenance on the property is very poor. The phone in our $600 a night room was dead. The gas fireplace did not work. There was a disgusting clump of hair on the shower drain. There are clearly abandoned buildings on the property. The included buffet breakfast was reminiscent of Motel 6. BUT it was quiet and the views are spectacular. The Little River Inn, just up the road toward town, is still quite elegant and a much greater value.

Perfect Getaway
Loved our room! Such beautiful views! A big thing for me is bed comfort, the bed was amazing. The curtains do an excellent job of blocking light out, the pilot light for the fireplace being on all the time bothered me, so if you hate any sort of light while trying to sleep bring an eye mask. The guy who checked us in was so nice and gave me some good food recs. I did not try out the spa but it looked cute. I had breakfast two days, good but no meat both days, not sure is this is the case all the time but would have been nice to have that option before going out for a hike and a long day. No room service, would be stoked if they offered it in the future. When checking reviews I saw some people saying it’s not resort like. I’m not sure what type of resort like feeling they are looking for on the Mendocino coast. It’s a quiet, spread out property, I enjoyed not being among a bunch of people and staff are chill with minimal interactions unless approached and personally that’s what I prefer. I can’t wait to return!

Great Get-A-Way
This is a wonderful place to stay. Please do not be put off by any negative comments. The accommodations are superior, very private; and may include a private deck for ocean viewing. A walk on the acreage results in different fabulous views of the coastline, and you may walk down stairs to the beach; beach is rocky, may not subtable for swimming , but with a beach chair you could spend a few hours surfside. Excellent full breakfast; kind, helpful staff - you receive great value for your room rate.

Duck is the best!
Scenery and views are second to none..breathtaking; we stayed in a beautiful 2 bedroom with heated floors in bathroom, gas fireplace, and porch with great views. Most importantly, we arrived after dark and were very tired. The evening manager, Duck, went above and beyond to help my dad and I. He ran back to the restaurant to help us get dinner to go, as we had not eaten and it was closing time for the restaurant. Then we began our drive to our room with was up, down, and around winding roads and we simply could not see where we were driving. We drove back to the main building and asked Duck if he could help us. He met us in the back of the building and walked and guided us to our room with his flashlight. Then he opened up our unit, with our permission, and went in to start the fireplace to warm up our room!! What a gem of an employee and a wonderful man!!

My husband and I just spent a long weekend at Heritage House and had a wonderful time. The views are amazing, and the newly renovated rooms are beautiful and comfortable. We would definitely recommend it.
