We have stayed at Historic Mercer few times. Nice and clean. We thought to try a different room and enjoyed staying there. The host is very responsive. The only downside was a severe error on VRBO communication.

Lovely, comfortable apartment right in town

We had a wonderful time in Prosser and surrounding wine country, and the host Julie was quick to answer questions we had before the trip and very helpful. Access to the apartment was easy, there was a great local coffee shop downstairs, and you can walk to the Saturday market. Definitely head up the Paterson grade behind town for sunset!

Loved having you as our guests Thomas! Please do come back and explore some more of the area, happy you took the drive to the top of Paterson and saw the great Valley view (and Horse Heaven Hills). And we too think the coffee shop downstairs is a great bonus to staying at the Historic Mercer! Cheers, Julie

Unique beautiful bohemian apartment

Unique, interesting and very clean apartment. Loved it. So much more interesting that a boring hotel. My husband loved reading about the history of the Mercer family. Wonderful to see a family preserving a 100+ year old legacy in a small town. Comfy bed too.

Perfect stay in Prosser

We stayed at Julie’s beautifully refurbished apartment and it was perfect for our long weekend. The apartment was filled with personal touches and you can tell Julie has worked hard to make the place so charming. The location was great for exploring Prosser and the nature in Southern Washington. Julie was communicative and made the process a breeze. I agree with another reviewer - this was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! Would definitely stay here again!

Very sweet place!

Very cute and very clean. Updated and fully stocked kitchen. Very comfortable bed. Updated bathroom. Just be prepared to walk up 35 stairs to your room or take the very slow elevator. We’re 70+ and did the stairs just fine. Did a couple of wine tastings and drove to Walla Walla for a few more tastings from our favorite wineries. Had a great weekend. We’d definitely stay here again!

Very unique property. So happy we found it!! Perfect for two. Very clean and well stocked. Didn’t hurt me to go without TV, instructions would be helpful. The bed was the best! I am on a hunt to find that mattress for home. People were so nice in Prosser, suggested a place for dinner and even made reservations for us!! We will return…

Cozy classy suite

This suite is well done with anything you need in a small space. The bed is a Serta that allows the head to be raised. It wasn’t too loud but it helped to have white noise running on an app for when the cop pulled someone over outside at midnight - excitement in Prosser! :) we would stay here again. Definitely read the history in the binder - and how to turn off the under cabinet lights!

We couldn’t believe what happened last night Staci - thought someone had run their car up on the sidewalk so we called the police but it was actually a hit and run right there in Prosser! Someone hit that car and took off - I was worried about our guests with all the cop car lights and general commotion at 11 pm 😬. But glad you enjoyed your stay other than the excitement! Do come back and referrals always welcomed 🙏. Elevator is planned this summer. Cheers, Julie

no entry to property

when we got to the property, instructions were to enter through a gate with a code. when opening the gate a steep set of stairs were too steep for our limited physical abilities to climb , the only other entry was a outer door to the left, with no sign of any kind that it was affiliated with the property, the code to the gate was the same as the outer door but did not allow entry. .we called the host and were told that she could climb the stairs just fine. the property is not accessible as written in the instructions.as a result we did not use the property. we are not happy that we paid for a property that we were not able to use. please forward the message to the host as well.

We are sorry you didn't try to correspond with us through VRBO as directed when you book with them. We block robo or unknown calls so were unaware you weren't here. Because you chose not to contact us through VRBO and not use the property we were unable to rebook it (and that is our busyiest time of year) or we could have refunded the stay. As we explained our elevator door is clearly described in the arrival information - and is unmarked for guests and residents safety - to protect them from strangers trying to access the building. Out of hundreds of guests you were the first to ever not understand where the elevator is so we are sorry the directions were not clear to you. As you know we did give you a partial refund.

Comfy and well-appointed place for 2 in Washington wine country

Hidden away in the Historic Mercer Building, this gem was a pleasant place to call home for several days of wine tasting in the area. We had everything we needed and more during our stay. A number of restaurants are walking distance and others are just a short drive away. We'll definitely return when back in the area.

Unique!

The Historic Mercer is very unique ... the location is right downtown close to many restaurants; the setting is very peaceful and restful; the suite I was in is lovely; and the building has a genuine historic feel. The owners are also delightful!

We loved the cozy feel of the guest suite, loved the History of the Mercer. Walking distance to local shops and and short drive to numerous Wineries. We are definitely looking forward to the next time we are in Prosser.

Cute and cozy in great location

Access was easy with clear and timely communication with owner. The place was in a great location, with walking distance to restaurants, brewery, and wine tasting. The room was clean with tasteful and very comfortable furnishings. Stylish decor and all the amenities you need for a weekend getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back sometime.

Excellent Gateway to WA Wine Country!!

Great location in Prosser and also within proximity to wineries and vineyards. The property has been beautifully updated and was incredibly comfortable. We are sort of "bed snobs" and I would have to rate this as the best bed I have ever slept in. This was a mini-vacation to escape from Covid quarantine and the apt. could not have been more perfect!

Charming Apartment in Historic Building

A nice job was done of converting what was once a 2 room office into a cozy apartment. Loved the huge long windows looking down on 6th Street and the original wood floors (Red Fir?). Quiet and comfortable despite being a turn of the century dwelling.

Anniversary

My wife and I recently stayed in Mercer Suite 2, and we could not have asked for a sweeter vacation spot. We were blown away by the romantic details as well as the timeless updates. While the suite itself was pristine and the perfect spot for our 1st anniversary, we thoroughly enjoyed the patio. With the hanging lights and well manicured gardening, it was a great place to enjoy the warm nights with local wine.
