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.

Perfect for Nature Lovers & City Explorers

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.

We take pride in sustainability—the Enchanted Waterfall Sanctuary is powered by 100% renewable energy, including wind and solar, for a truly eco-friendly experience.

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

beautiful view overlooking a valley! will stay there again! close proximity to Muir Woods. Also the little town of Mill Valley is a dream of restaurants and the market is so well stocked -complete with a wine and spirit store.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
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.
