Same Time Next Year

Remember this?  Click HERE

We just returned from the Heritage House Resort on the Mendocino coast where Same Time Next Year was  filmed.  This poor property has been through several owners since it foreclosed back in 2008.  It finally re-opened, newly renovated, a couple of years ago and we’ve been wanting to stay there ever since.  Our anniversary on Tuesday seemed the perfect excuse.

And now with apologies to family and friends back East, here are some photos — click to make larger.

Pay no attention to the short sleeved shirts and sunshine…OK?

    Hey! I remember that lovely 1979 moment 🙂 Congratulations!

    Beautiful grounds and sunset. But are you saying that the only thing on TV is the continually running movie? No sports or home improvement shows? What did the better half do??

      No the film was running continuously on only one channel. Plenty of other channels to choose from. But by the time we got back – after hiking all day, eating great meals, drinking fine wine – well TV just didn’t matter. It’s a beautiful spot – a great trip.

    Is that by any chance Baron Herzog sitting on the porch?

    Knew it wasn’t a Gallo!
