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!!!!!

Cleanliness/sofa

The property had a marvelous view and was very clean. I always arrive at any VRBO with a myriad of cleaning supplies. I did not need to clean the house before I felt comfortable.We did speak with the owners about the sofa which is subpar. They realize that it is a problem and are going to replace it. we enjoyed our week and hope to return soon.

A Wonderful Stay!

We appreciated the privacy, the view and the location of the cottage. Also, the special touches and attention to detail the owners provided made us feel like very welcome guests. One of our favorite of many places we have stayed over the years in this lovely town and area!

Great place to stay

Everything you need is here - kitchen, nice living area with view, bedroom area! It was a rainy weekend, so it was nice to have a little more room than we've previously had with some of the smaller rooms that are so common in the inns in town. Great location, within walking distance to everything you need. Will definitely stay again!

Never Want To Leave

This last trip—I come every year for my birthday—was my longest stay ever. I thought I’d be satisfied, but as usual, 17 days flashed by. I feel so at home & welcome here, especially because Cheri & Peter are so helpful and kind. Very comfortable & blessedly quiet, a kitchen I can cook in, a TV that gets the NHL, an old-fashioned heated recliner there when you need it, perfect location so you only really need your car for trips to Ft. Bragg & the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. And finally, the magic sound of the buouy & the ocean in the dark of night, better than any sleeping aid. What more can I say?

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!
