This sophisticated yet simple craftsman-style home was designed by Cheryl as a romantic little get-away place while she was still living on the East Coast and traveling regularly to the Mendocino area.  It has one bedroom (with a queen size bed and a featherbed topper); French doors open out onto the deck. Awake to the sound of the ocean and view the reflection of the sunrise over the Pacific. There’s a double-headed shower for two with stone tiles in the bathroom. The living room has two sets of French doors which open out onto the deck offering dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Navarro River east toward the Anderson Valley. There’s a very comfortable futon couch (where a child or one additional adult can sleep), a glass-front Lopi gas burning “woodstove”, an antique pine table and chairs and a Scandinavian armoire. The floors are newly refinished redwood and Mexican paver tiles, with oriental carpets.  As soon as you enter Cheryl’s House, the relaxation begins, inspired by Asian accents and the influence its natural surroundings throughout.

Other amenities include a Denon stereo system with CD player, satellite TV, DVD player, and high-powered binoculars on a tripod for viewing the whales. For those who enjoy cooking, there’s a Jennair gas stove, a microwave, coffeemaker, food processor and an all-stainless interior dishwasher.  The pantry area houses the refrigerator, washer & dryer and storage space.  If you need to work while you’re on holiday, Cheryl’s House also provides unlimited wireless access via a secure satellite internet connection.

All linens (cotton and down) and coffee/tea and pantry items are provided. Custom redwood storm doors and shutters close the house tightly for added protection during dramatic winter storms and an automatic generator insures you'll always have power and water.
