Historic Mercer Guest Suite 4 The Shepherdess

Our family owned Historic Mercer provides boutique accommodations in a lively small town setting. Elevator or stairs for guests. Rates include cleaning fees. Beautiful original floors & stunning 8' x 3' windows. Built in 1906 truly "green"! Full kitchen, bathroom & Yakima Valley views. Fast Wifi, Smart TV & great beds (headboard raises!) and central AC and heat provide super relaxation. Head downstairs for morning coffee, breakfast or lunch or weekly live music at Brewminatti; we offer complimentary Mercer Estates wine & access to our on-premises gym/yoga studio. We designed this suite with a nod to our female ancestors, but everyone will love the bed and 12' ceilings!

Why stay at a truck stop or outskirts location when you can walk from the Historic Mercer to public tennis courts, Prosser's seasonal Saturday farmer's market or Aquatic Center, local brew pubs and fun eateries in the community. Don't worry if you need a cook-in item - the community grocer is a block away! A great cycling trail links lower valley communities or try great golfing in surrounding communities. What better way to relax after a day tasting wine that with a good walk around tree lined streets or walking down to local eateries? Prosser is home to the Washington Wine industry where you can enjoy over 40 local wineries! It's also located in the largest hop growing region in the world. This friendly little community hosts numerous community events from Bottles, Brews and BBQs to the annual fall Balloon Rally. Check TourProsser website for more info. I

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.

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…

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

We loved staying here the only downfall was we were on a wine buying trip to the local wineries. It’s too warm to leave the wine in the truck so we had to carry it up 37 (yup we counted😁) steps that were pretty steep. Other than that it was a great place to stay!

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!
