About this property

Heart of Mendocino Village, Fabulous Views!

This warm and welcoming home away from home, the Mendocino Village Suite, has an eye to detail and welcomes you to the heart of Mendocino Village. Featuring knock out white water views and lovingly tended gardens, you will walk up a brick path to your private accommodations and a dutch door entry. Just inside is a fully equipped kitchen with a 4 burner gas stove and all you could imagine for preparing a meal if you wish, including a full size fridge. Village Suite also offer a stacked washer and dryer for your use, which is a rare feature in most rentals in Mendocino. Facing south, is a large picture window with a unobstructed, breathtaking view overlooking the Headlands State Park and the Mendocino Bay. There is a smart TV, DVD player and stereo, a love seat, coffee table, desk, and a large Lazyboy chair with massage features and a gas fireplace so you will be cozy and comfortable. There are also books and DVD's for you to enjoy! A dining table perfectly framed in the south facing window, a pillow top queen bed, and near the bed, a bathroom featuring a tub/shower combo and a garden window. Linens and towels are all upgraded100% cotton, as we provide you what we would want to have ourselves! Your comfort is our goal..A Weber gas BBQ and a charcoal BBQ are in the side yard. In the front of Village Suite are two Adirondack chairs looking out south to the bay where you can enjoy a glass of wine and look at the views. Village Suite is walking distance to restaurants, shops and everything. and yet is not situated in a commercial district of the village, so you will have peace and quiet. Once people stay with us they never stay anywhere else.....We have an automatic generator, so power outages are not a problem!!!!!

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 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.

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.

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 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.

This is absolutely the best place in Mendocino, for a couple or single person. Location is excellent. I've been visiting for years, and always try to reserve this place - but the secret is out and weekends get booked months in advance. The furnishings are so nice: comfy bed and linens, good natural light and lighting including multiple dimmers (and all light bulbs work!), stocked kitchen with lots of small appliances and spices/oils/vinegars. The hosts are "locals" and very responsive, kind and classy. Oh also many books, beautiful local artwork, Dish tv and streaming options, bluetooth speaker, flashlights, beach chairs, lots of seating options in the front room - all with that view!

This cottage is one of our very favorite VRBOs and we have stayed in many in the US and abroad. The location is absolutely perfect - very short walk to town and to the Headlands. The cottage is always super clean and has everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Cheri and Peter are wonderful hosts. We've stayed her a number of times and will definitely do so again!

About the host

Hosted by Cheri Osborne

Host profile image
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!
