About this property

Cozy Oceanfront European Cottage-Deck & Fire Pit

  • Summary:

    Le Faux Cottage



    Find romance, relaxation, and stunning scenery at Le Faux, one-bedroom suite, with a dramatic oceanfront view, private deck and fire pit on the bluff overlooking the water. This is a wondrous location for exploring the Mendocino Coast. This beautiful cottage is secluded on six acres of oceanfront property that it shares with the owners home.



    The Space:

    Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, a birthday, or a quiet weekend of solitude, you'll find rich colors and beautiful European style in the redecorated living space. Start your morning in the kitchenette with a great cup of coffee then go out on the private deck and read your phone or newspaper while watching the passing whales, osprey, and harbor seals as seagulls fly lazily overhead. Please note the kitchenette does not have a stovetop.



    Take morning walks one-mile up the road to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, admire colorful shores of Glass Beach just beyond downtown Fort Bragg and peruse the many Art Galleries of Mendocino. Use the free WiFi to make plans for the day ahead, or simply drive aimlessly on the spectacular Mendocino Coast of Highway 1.



    Come home in the afternoon to unwind by taking a luxurious nap in the Louis XVI bed, or head outdoors to watch the sunset from your oceanfront lounge chairs. Then pour yourself a glass of wine before a blazing fire in the fire pit then spend the evening stargazing as the ocean waves crash below. Come and experience the unmatched wonder of the Northern California Coast - leave your worries behind you at this gorgeous Fort Bragg retreat! This themed cottage has many thoughtful touches including bath robes, blankets, and breathtaking views!

Great NYE

We had a great stay at Le Faux for New Year's Eve. The property was well-located with stunning ocean views that made it easy to relax and enjoy the scenery. The house had a comfortable, laid-back vibe with everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen and a cozy living room with a fireplace.On New Year's Eve, we took in the quiet, natural beauty of the area—watching the waves from the deck was a highlight. It is definitely a five star cabin but there were two small issues; We wish the shower water was hotter and even a single burner hotplate would've been nice to be able to cook small meals. We still gave five stars as maybe we like the water hotter than average and maybe we missed the fact that there wasn't a way to cook food other than a microwave. Overall, it was a solid choice for a peaceful and comfortable getaway to ring in the new year. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to get away and unwind.

Le Faux is the real deal

We were looking for a peaceful place near the ocean and away from town and this cottage was perfect. Located on a large gated property situated on an ocean-front bluff and separate from the main house (seemingly vacant during our stay), this place was perfect for two. Watch the ocean waves from bed, read outside on the small deck, enjoy quiet nights -- exactly the privacy and beauty we were seeking. We would definitely stay here again.
