Le Faux Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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. 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.

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.

Use the free WiFi to make plans for the day ahead, or simply drive aimlessly on the spectacular Mendocino Coast of highway one. 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!

The week away!
The property was great, better than I expected. The motion dedicated outside lights were not timed properly, but other than that it was wonderful. Even the rain couldn't change to relaxing time it probably helped. Have recommended to friends and family.

The Perfect Couples Getaway
We love to rent vacation getaways often. This cottage was all it was represented to be. It is on a private property with the main house nearby. The cottage was absolutely adorable, beautifully decorated and meticulous. The owners have thought of every little detail and anything we needed, was in the cottage. There was even a picnic bench overlooking the ocean, where we would have our morning coffee. So peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend this cottage. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Cottage on the Cliffs
This cottage is a must for a getaway to Fort Bragg/Mendocino. Easy driving to all the local must sees, close to Anderson Valley for wine tasting and minutes to Mendocino for resturant's and a great book store. The cottage is very private with lovely decor, a plush and comfortable bed in an amazing location. The views are spectacular sunrise to sunset, and the sound of the ocean is most enjoyable. Wish we could have had time on the deck and by the fire pit...but rain curtailed that. (We loved the gratis bottle of wine as well!)

Amazing Views
This VRBO property was so cozy and offered absolutely mind blowing views. Watching the sunset from the fire pit area with a bottle of wine was a memory that I will have forever! The house itself is just one room with a bed, couch and tv and then a bathroom that has a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker - everything you need for a short stay. This was a part of our honeymoon as we drove through Mendocino and we had a great time resting and recharging here. The bed was comfortable and cozy. There was no cell service for our two phones, but the property has wifi and also has netflix and cable/dish set up on the tv. Definitely would recommend spending a night or two here enjoying the amazing ocean/sunset views.

AMAZING
My husband and I had seen this property a year ago and it took us that long to find dates that worked for us. Spent a week in Cancun, one day at home then four days in this beautiful spot. I loved that there wasn’t a full kitchen, and we got to enjoy meals out. I was concerned about sleeping in queen sized bed, but it was so comfortable and view insisted that all blinds must stay up. I can’t remember a time we both felt so relaxed. COVID and the demands of our jobs, kept us so busy, that this was getaway and downtime was overdue. We came home stress free and rejuvenated.

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.

Great views, private
Nice views, private- we were left entirely on our own and apart from main house. Cottage was charming, ivy covered and nice antiques inside. Bed had all the appealing charming appointments with nice white sheets and fluffy comforter but actually proved very uncomfortable for us. Sold as a queen, we found it unusually cramped for a queen as two tall folks and the fluffy comforter was too heavy for comfort (feather?). Not having a nite stand on my side also proved irksome as you also needed to make room for your device or book to sleep with. We wish this unit had openable windows facing the ocean - as one of the treats we seek in renting an ocean front cottage over the decades we have been coming to the area is hearing the waves at nite. We opened the forest facing window but the cottage is set back from the cliff somewhat and the wave sounds were very dim. Lastly, I get that some level of privacy is desirable, but this entire transaction was humanless and automated. No warm greeting, then leave you be on your own, yet be accessible. It left a somewhat cold and unwelcome, don’t want to be bothered sense about the place which also made wandering the property feel like a bit of an intrusion. The new convenient technology does not, alone, make for a charming oceanside stay on a private proprerty. Overall, a very pretty place but it was not well suited to us and we were happy to come home to our own bed after two pretty unrestful nites. Ps. I might suggest to the managers they alert you better that the three lamps surrounding the bed are controlled by a remote on the desk. After searching on our bellies, we discovered that key-like remote finally on the desk as we packed to checkout. That left the area pretty dark. I brought a book to read but, fortunately, also brought a headlamp flashlight, (yet another item to sleep with in the high bed).

Beautiful spot with reservations
Water leak under thrushhold , spider bite my wife on first night, motion lights don’t work properly. The cottage itself was darling. Well secluded, and the view was spectacular, just what we wanted. We would stay again when we could build a fire, grill hot dogs, and dine on the porch, in better weather.
