Clean; comfy bed; clear communication & instructions; beautiful view of the Pacific from the front window, short walk to Headlands State Park and main street. We loved our stay in Mendocino and would definitely stay here again if we ever return to the area! Thank you Cheri & Peter.

Great photos, glad you had a wonderful stay. Hope to see you again really soon ..Cheers! Cheri and Peter
This was our first time in Mendocino and we will definitely return. Mendocino Village Suite was perfect! The location is great with amazing views. We loved walking around town and we really enjoyed the Mendocino Headlands trails. Cheri and Peter are great hosts.I couldn’t help but fall in love with Mendocino. Can’t wait to go back !!!
We had a very pleasant stay… comfort dwelling, clean, nice art on the walls, beautiful view, great location and well equipped kitchen. All you need for a great vacation! The only think that was a bit of a drawback was the person on the wall side of the bed had a more difficult time getting in and out.All in all, we loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat!

Hi Joanne, so happy you loved your stay. The bed can easily always be moved out from the wall, there are runners on the leg bottoms to enable that. Hope to see you again soon! Cheers..Cheri and Peter
Have stayed here twice and have really enjoyed it both times. Nicely set up, with everything you need. Clean and well maintained. Well located and close to all the shops and the shore. Good communication with owners, and easy check-in.

The Village Suite was such a great place to stay in Mendocino! Sparkling clean, incredibly comfy, and the location is incredible - you can walk anywhere in town with ease! Cheri is an amazing host as well - quick to respond to any questions and very thoughtful touches like water already in the fridge. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in the Mendocino area.

It’s really a jewel with a great view. It’s close to everything in the village. I call it the Writer’s Cottage. It has everything you could want or need. A favorite of mine in Mendocino!

Love this review. We want that feeling for everyone that stays at Village Suite! Cheers! Cheri and Peter
This is a great apartment in a beautiful place. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, and communication with our host was excellent. The view from the front window at the dining table is beautiful, and we were only steps away from the Mendocino Headlands trail which is full of gorgeous views. Mendocino is a wonderful place, and there are several nearby parks with fine hiking trails.
The house is delightful with a truly amazing view of the water. Cheri was so kind and welcoming. The place is well-furnished for couples. The kitchen was well-stocked, linens were clean and crisp, and the bathroom was well-appointed. There is even dedicated off-street parking. The gas fireplace and radiator kept us nice and toasty at night. We already love Mendocino, and Cheri's place is going to the top of our list!

This place is perfect. It's a great space and had everything I needed and more. I love the location because it's across from trails and the ocean and felt so private. I am ready to go back already!
Sweet cozy place, great location, great view! Well stocked kitchen. Owner checked in to make sure all was good. Came away nice and relaxed; just what we needed! Wonderful place to stay.

So glad you loved your stay! Exactly our goal...see you soon! Cheers! Cheri and Peter
Cheri’s studio was perfect for us because of location and its walking distance to many retail stores, cafes and restaurants in the town of Mendocino. The place was super clean and its amenities were great. We had quick communications and Cheri was easy to reach via text. We loved our stay.

We are so happy you found us, and now we will be your go to "home away from home"! See you in July! Cheers! Cheri and Peter
Cozy cottage, very clean, great location! Darling little kitchen, fully equipped overall. Great view with a short walk into town.We had a lovely relaxing stay!
An amazing place for a couples getaway! The place is perfectly sized for 2, with a romantic view of the ocean from the center window table. We parked the car for 3 days, with plenty of great dining options and hikes within minutes from the cottage. Cozy, and accommodating, we hardly had the tv on, and enjoyed homemade breakfast we prepared in the kitchen. Owners were friendly and responsive, while also maintaining the peace/quiet of the serene location. We can’t wait to return!
We were not able to stay at the property due to the weather and power outages, but Cheri very communicative and is giving us a credit for our next stay. We look forward to coming back to Mendocino soon!
We can think of no better place to stay in Mendocino. Such a beautiful, charming, well appointed, very clean and comfortable place within walking distance to not only the Headlands but all shops and restaurants. Host is warm and welcoming and always helpful. Kitchen is wonderfully stocked for cooking and you can't get a better view while you enjoy the complimentary wine.

About the host
Hosted by Cheri Osborne
Peter's Grandmother Mary Taylor purchased this property in 1962. The Village Suite used to be her art studio and is located next to the family home where Peter and Cheri live. Cheri has lived on the Mendocino Coast over 40 years, and is a real estate Broker at Mendo Sotheby's. Her interests are organic gardening, cooking, preserving/canning food and helping people find their dream home here. Peter is retired from KGO TV and his interests are remote controlled aircraft, petanque, golfing, gardening, and home projects. We were married in 2016. We love Mendocino and look forward to welcoming you and telling you about the things we love to do and see here.
Why they chose this property
Cheri arrived here in 1977 from Washington to attend pottery school at the Mendocino Art Center, drove into town and fell in love with the area. She never left. Peter spent his childhood visiting Mendocino, and his parents moved into the main house in 1990. He lived in the Bay Area, and drove up frequently to visit his parents and his sister, Jennifer, who lives around the corner. We are in the process of making the main house our very own home with personal touches. It is exciting to be able to offer the Village Suite as a vacation rental!
What makes this property unique
We love our property because it is located on the west end of town in a quiet residential district known as Portuguese Flats. The fantastic unobstructed view across state park and onto the Mendocino Bay is a very unique and hard to come by view in the Village. Our family has spent many happy years on this property and we look forward to sharing it with you and helping you create your own happy Mendocino memories!
