Super pleasant

The host was super easy to communicate with and pleasant. All i wanted was a place to decompress and take in nature and i got that here. Architecturally pleasing elements.

Beautiful Relaxing Forest Getaway

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.

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.

Not as listed

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

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.

So Relaxing

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!

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.

sweet getaway

This was such a sweet getaway! We loved staying here in our own apartment with hot tub availability. The nature around is amazing and so is the host. I'd certainly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Bay or SF!

Nestled Elegance

Extremely classy wooden walls and floors surround you, while the view over the steam of the hot tub is of mist slowly falling between the sides of Mill Valley. We loved it there.

So Dreamy!

My stay here was perfect. The space is so dreamy, aesthetically beautiful, and had all the amenities I could need. The highlight for me was the outdoor hot tub and cold plunge! Plus, the gorgeous nearby hikes through the redwoods. I will absolutely stay here again!

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!

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!

AMAZING host and breathtaking views! The place is cozy, comfortable, private, and very clean. A wonderful space to disconnect and find peace in nature. The host put so much care into creating a relaxing environment with lovely touches and amenities throughout the home and gave easy to follow instructions for parking and local activities. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from the cute downtown mill valley, Muir Woods, and San Francisco. It was also super dog-friendly with a big backyard that our pup loved! We had a wonderful time and will definitely back to this one of a kind forest retreat!
