The host lives upstairs with her husband and child, and you will hear the pitter-patter of footsteps above. Your apartment has its own entrance, parking, and outdoor spaces, and we strive to respect your privacy to the highest degree.
A Sanctuary with a Deep History
The Enchanted Waterfall Sanctuary is more than just a peaceful retreat—it’s part of a rich historical tapestry connected to the land once owned by the legendary philosopher Alan Watts.
A key figure in the Human Potential Movement, Watts inspired many with his teachings on consciousness, personal growth, and the interconnectedness of all things. The energy of these ideas still resonates in this space, offering guests a chance to reflect, rejuvenate, and experience a deeper connection with Nature and themselves.
Watts' legacy of embracing mindfulness, creativity, and holistic living continues to inspire the peaceful and artistic spirit of this space.
Whether you’re seeking to unwind in nature, tap into your creative potential, or explore a deeper sense of well-being, the Enchanted Waterfall Sanctuary provides the perfect environment. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Mill Valley and with its historical ties to Watts' philosophy, this retreat is designed to nourish both body and soul.

Upon booking, I’ll send you a personalized guide with recommendations for hiking trails on Mount Tamalpais, the best coffee spots, and dining options in Mill Valley.

Sweet and charming place to stay, very Marin in all the right ways. If you don’t mind a bit of uphill walking coming back up, it’s a very nice stroll to the shops and restaurants. The view across the valley to the opposite hillside is stunning, especially when the fog is blowing through. Host is very nice. Would love to stay here again sometime

I booked my trip specifically to get away from my typical life and spend some time doing deep work on me. Jena created the perfect environment for this kind or work.The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The environment is inspiring -- the shift from morning, fog covered hills to warm sunny afternoons was beautiful and modeled the transformation I was seeking.Having full access to the large hot tub offered me even deeper relaxation.Working with Jena was a pleasure. The entire process was simple.

Amazingly beautiful neighborhood! The rental was perfect and provided the means for a much needed peaceful weekend. The hot tub with the view of the canyon and stars at night was great and we loved falling asleep to a crackling fire in the fireplace. Jena was super nice and responsive as well. Thank you!

Close to hikes and nature, you get a beautiful view while relaxing in the hot tub. Very close to Mill Valley downtown, but high enough to get great views. Everything is a short drive away.
Wellness add-ons were great, I got a massage and it was exactly what i needed, healing mind and body.

Tranquil & Relaxing Getaway
It was a lovely quiet space to spend time. Waking to the view of the green hills was amazing. I opted for a massage, which far exceeded my expectations. David is a skilled practitioner who asked detailed questions about what I preferred and about "problem areas". He addressed those areas in a way that provided wonderful relief. The hosts were communicative, personable and thoughtful.

There were many problems with our stay and I do not recommend this place for anyone. First, the hottub was not hot enough for usage for the two first nights of our stay. Second, the fireplace was out of order for the enitre stay. Third, there were rust-colored stains all over the sheets, and we came home with little bites all over our body which seem consistent with bed bugs-- which apparently can be identified from rust colored stains. When we told Jena about these issues, she did her best to fix the hot tub, and it would have been hot enough by the second night but there was a power outtage (because we were using the radiator she provided, which was completely necessary given cold weather and no working fireplace)- this prevented the hot tub from heating up that night. We requested a refund for two nights of our stay, given that we chose the place for the private hot tub and fireplace, but were reimbursed only 50 total. This was very disappointing and we certainly won't stay there again. Aside from these issues, we heard lots of noise from the upper floor - a small child running around early in the morning, dogs barking - which we would have liked to know before our stay as well.

Glorious sunsets and sunrises
Watching the fog slowly curl over the treetops to pool into the valley was such a powerful mindfulness exercise.
Super peaceful and beautiful property, exactly as the photos depicted. The host was very communicative and helpful, warm and friendly!
I don’t have a car but walking to and from the charming downtown area was pretty easy and close to the Old Mill Park that is an access point to the Dipsea trail.
Very clean dwelling throughout and with quality furniture (including the bed and linens!) Also, ZERO mosquitoes during my stay!

Pristine and Private Getaway!
I had a lovely getaway at the Enchanted Waterfall Sanctuary. The hosts live upstairs with their toddler but the rental was totally private and relaxing with amazing views and a great hot tub. I used the office nook to catch up on some work (great fast WiFi) and enjoyed reading my book with some tea in the lounge area. The bed was very comfortable and I slept like a rock. Looking out at Mt. Tam and the forested valley while soaking in the hot tub was a highlight as well as walking to Cascade Falls down the road. This is a true hidden gem in Mill Valley and I look forward to returning for another visit to rest and recharge soon.

This is a beautiful little place for sure, but falsely advertised with buzzwords like "lover's getaway, retreat, tranquil, etc. It's basically a hillside apartment with eastern spa-like decor, and while entirely pleasing in both aesthetic and ammenity, there's simply no hiding that you are in fact smack in the middle of West Coast suburbia with a family living above. We were disturbed numerous times by sounds from upstairs, a chainsaw off in the distance during the morning, distant party music at night, and a racoon disturbance while in the hot tub. At the end of our stay, the shower drain backed up leaving a mess of mud. The host was responsive at moments when we reached out. Overall, we feel this is a lovely place and could certainly be a 5 star location, but it's oversold as a spalike getaway and falls short of the description given. Ultimately for us, we were looking for a tranquil getaway, and were greatly let down.

Property had beautiful views, however it was actually the basement of another house. Had to walk down steep hill to enter house ( very difficult with luggage). Owner said “ I usually communicate better with my guest”. Towels were stained, bed was mattress and box spring on floor, heat consisted of portable plug in heater. We elected to leave after one night. Owner did give us a partial refund for one night out of three we had booked

Magical environment and views
As soon as I park my car and unpack.. I was immediately transported to rest! The smell of the redwoods filled my nose as I laid on the bed that boasted the views of the valley and felt like I was deep into the woods, yet, right near everything. The bedding made it difficult for me to leave my bed, plus with the view, I truly enjoyed a slow wake up in the morning. The hot tub was exceptional and with the cold plunge right next to it.. I was able to work out some kinks in my tight muscles. Having a kitchen full of equipment allowed me to eat and snack and not have to look for any plates, etc. The various seating areas (in door and out) allowed me to have various prospective of the amazing views. Jena is an amazing host. Being available for anything I needed is a plus of having the host inside. I left rested and relaxed and looking forward to planning my next escape there!

Balm for heart and spirit
My stay at the sanctuary was nothing short of a balm for my heart and spirit, a place where beauty and tranquility wove themselves into every corner. From the moment I entered, I could feel the peacefulness of the energy, light and soothing, as though the space itself were alive with harmony. Every detail of its design was crafted with such exquisite care and attention, blending comfort with artistry in a way that felt almost otherworldly.
It wasn’t just my body that found rest here, but my heart and soul too, cradled in a rare ease I had long yearned for. To sit in the hot tub, enveloped in warmth while gazing out over the canyon’s mesmerizing expanse, was an experience I will carry with me always—a moment of pure connection with nature and stillness, as if time itself had paused to offer me this gift.
The sanctuary’s energy felt ethereal, infused with lightness. The soft whites that filled the space, the plush carpet beneath my feet, and the gentle touches of thoughtful design all combined to create an atmosphere of subtle grace. It was the delicate nuances that truly elevated the experience: a freshly prepared bouquet of flowers left on the table, a small offering of care that spoke directly to the soul.
I left deeply satisfied, as though I had been transported to a higher vibrational plane of existence—one where rest is sacred and beauty nourishes not only the body but the spirit.

I had a pretty awful experience at this property. The living room does look like it's pictures and the outdoor space is nice... but for the crazy rates they charge per night it is definitely not worth it. We almost left early.
First part is how this is falsely listed as an "entire apartment." This is NOT a separate apartment, it is someone's basement. There is a stairwell inside that goes right upstairs that's just covered with a curtain and all of the air vents are connected. You can hear EVERYTHING going on upstairs, so it does not feel private or relaxing. They call this "light pitter patter" on the listing, but you could hear a pin drop on the floor. On top of the lack of privacy, they were playing instruments, hanging out on the patio, and making a lot of noise late at night.
2nd issue is that the hot tub didn't work. The jets wouldn't stay on for more than a few minutes at a time and the hot tub wouldn't get hot.. just lukewarm.
3rd issue there was a huge ant infestation. We woke up in the morning to HUNDREDS of ants in the kitchen, in the trash, in our food. They were crawling up my legs as I was trying to do the dishes. It was disgusting.
4th issue is communication. I would ask a question on VRBO and she would respond via email, outside of the app. Including her "giving me notice" that they would be noisy at night. I'm not checking my email on Friday nights so obviously none of that was seen until after the trip.
Overall, would not recommend.
