At the height of their success, they purchased a tract of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean and named it the Hill Estate Ranch. Today, Hill House Inn sits on part of that 320-acre property, surrounded by soaring cypress trees. Room spotlight: Deluxe ocean-view rooms are outfitted with gas fireplaces, and most have decks. Hollywood connection: Guests have included Bette Davis and Kris Kristofferson, and some visitors might recognize the inn for its recurring role in the Murder, She Wrote TV series. What’s nearby: The hotel is about a five-minute walk from shops and cafés in town. Road-trip ready: Hill House Inn is just off of Highway 1, which hugs California’s coast.Mendocino, California: New England Look-Alike on Scenic Pacific HeadlandsIn the mid-19th century, Mendocino rose to prominence as a redwood-logging hub along California’s northern coast, attracting a number of lumberjacks from New England. These West Coast pioneers brought East Coast architecture with them, building their new homes in the Victorian and saltbox styles. The town has such a New England look that it stood in for a Maine fishing village during the filming of the TV series Murder, She Wrote. For a peek at some of these picturesque old buildings, head to the Ford House, which serves as the official Visitor Information Center of Mendocino Village, and the Kelley House Museum, which preserves 19th-century photographs and furniture in a house built in 1861.In the 1950s, when it was in danger of becoming a ghost town, Mendocino was thrust back into the spotlight thanks to painter Bill Zacha’s Mendocino Art Center. Still open today, the art center has taken advantage of its scenic setting along the town’s coastline, which has been the inspiration for several watercolor and oil canvases. A quick stroll south will bring you to one such scenic spot
