Historic Charm & Sustainable Living
This sanctuary is part of an original Mill Valley home, celebrated for its sunny aspect and unique character. Your space is the lower level of a large house. 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.

Whether you're here to work remotely, explore the natural wonders of Marin County, or enjoy a peaceful retreat, the Enchanted Waterfall Sanctuary offers a perfect balance of nature and city access. Located just 17 minutes from San Francisco, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds.
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.

Summary: 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.
