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!!!!!

Cheri and Peter were outstanding hosts. They were exceedingly responsive to our needs and questions, and they also respected our privacy. The cottage is charming, well-equipped, and situated in a breathtakingly beautiful spot, with just a short walk to ocean bluffs and town. This is our favorite go-to getaway spot in Mendocino.

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!

Clean and Mendocino shopping within walking distance. We are sad that we won’t be able to stay again because the bed is against the wall and we can’t climb over the foot of bed anymore.

We have stayed in this lovely and very comfortable apartment several times, and I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. You have a nice view of the coast - and the Mendocino Headlands, with all its trails, cliffs and offshore rocks, are a five-minute walk outside the front door.

This is our third time in this wonderful little cottage. It has everything we need and more...the power went out during our stay and a generator kicked on...stayed on till the power came back on! The location, the views, the town of Mendocino--just perfect if you want peace and quiet, walking along the headlands and enjoying good food (either at a local restaurant or making it yourself with groceries from Harvest Market). Peter and Cheri are excellent hosts.

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. It is perfectly situated within walking distance of the village and a beautiful view of the Mendocino headlands. The Little studio is is well equipped with everything you need for dining in, spending a day at the beach, or watching a movie with a nice little fire place. There are two chairs out front with the table in between for sitting outside and enjoying the view. It is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. Relaxing. A wonderful place to spend your vacation.

Cheri made the check-in easy, and welcoming. The space was clean, renewed, and has all of the equipment necessary (spatulas, coffee machine, pots and pans, even a charger!) to make moving in and out as efficient as possible. No wonder this place is always booked! The location is stunning and safe, with access to both entries in and out of the park.

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!
