Mindful Forest Sanctuary

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

This quiet forest retreat offers the perfect perch to reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and nature. Uniquely situated amongst the trees, the home is accessed by a meandering set of concrete stairs. Upon entering, you will immediately take notice of the home's gorgeously appointed living quarters. Decorated with tasteful simplicity in mind, the furnishings have been carefully sourced with sustainability in mind. From the living room sofa, continue to enjoy tree views amidst the warmth of the gas fireplace.

Steps from here, the stunning chef's kitchen provides the perfect place to prepare meals with your favorite person. Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a sizable center island make up this space. When it's time to eat, dine at the in-kitchen dining nook or eat alfresco on the expansive deck.

Pleasantly decorated and full of natural light, the bedrooms are equally inviting. If little ones are visiting with you, they will be sure to love the child-friendly items available.

A true focal point of the sanctuary is the spacious deck and the enclosed yard equipped with a hot tub surrounded by never-ending views of the trees. You'll also discover a firepit - perfect for storytelling sessions and s'mores.

Although the home is tucked in a quiet wilderness location, numerous attractions are within minutes of your stay. Less than 15 miles away, explore the Muir Woods National Monument, Mount Tamalpais State Park, the Marine Mammal Center, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and the San Francisco Symphony.

Tree house getaway
Beautiful house up in the trees! Feels like an elaborate tree house when you are hanging out in the kitchen, living room, or deck.

Beautiful Home inside and out.
Beautiful house! The kitchen is what dreams are made of! We're still talking about that fridge! We missed out on late check-out, I'll be more mindful of emails next time. We were 90% ready for our 10am check-out when the cleaning lady showed up at 9:50. Her standing inside the house watching us scurry for our remaining belongings made for an uncomfortable exit. That would be my only negative about our stay. The 83 stairs really do exist and my knees are still talking about it. Some sort of baggage elevator would be helpful, but we made it, and I'm glad we did. Beautiful views from the front and back of the house and a quiet neighborhood. We never got access to the garage, had no problem parking our suburban right in front of it. Side note- we never found a check-in/check-out book to help with departing/cleaning details. We were unsure what to do with garbage. Thank you for having us, lots of memories were made!

Writing this from the curb…
I’m writing this review from the curb as I sit with my 2 children and all of our luggage. Everything was great with our stay until checkout. We parked in the garage our entire stay with no problems. Now, as we’re leaving, the garage door keypad is dead and our car is trapped inside. We’re stranded on the street. Called customer service and they said they are sending someone out. We’re trying to be patient but as the time goes by we’re growing more frustrated. Not how we wanted to spend our vacation time. Thank goodness we’re not trying to catch a flight. My last ditch effort is to post a low (undeserved) review to maybe flag someone’s attention.

Absolutely abysmal property management, but the home was nice.
Overall the property was clean, in a good location for us and accommodated our party well. We were very disappointment that we were never given access to the garage and that the hot tub was unusable but what made it worse was the absolutely non-existent support from a property management standpoint. We contacted Vacasa Property Management four times over three days and were told six times that someone would be over to help but no one every showed up. This goes so completely beyond acceptable, I don't really have words. The only thing good I have to say is that someone was always there to respond to our text, and effectively do nothing to resolve the issue. Or was I talking to a bot? I have no actual evidence to suggest they were actually human, or ever tried in any meaningful way to resolve the issues. Set your expectations correctly. The location is near Mill Valley, CA where you'll enjoy wonderful redwood trees, hiking trails, cafés and restaurants, but if you need help from Vacasa property management resolving an issue, you're better off hitting yourself in the face with a hammer. In the end, it will hurt less and get the problem solved more quickly, or at least you'll forget about the property issue because you now have a concussion. Do yourself a favor and just avoid using Vacasa altogether. I sent this message to Vacasa on May 29, and have yet to hear from them. It's now June 12.

Great property in a nice location
Great vacation property located in a secluded forest above Mill Valley. Very close to lots of fun things to do in the bay area. About a 15 minute drive to San Francisco, Muir Woods, and a couple public beaches. Access to the home is a little tricky due to a steep and narrow road. The garage also has limited size. A smaller vehicle is recommended. Also, there are a lot of steps from the garage up to the home. If a guest has limited mobility, this could be a problem. Otherwise, it is a very fun property in a great location.

Amazing, affordable, modern, nestled in the trees, peaceful and quiet, great location.
The house is amazing and there's very little room for improvement. It was just 2 of us but the house sleeps more. My ratings on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best are: location 10; privacy 10; lighting controls / mood / ambiance 10; living room 10;outside vibes e.g. back/front decks and yard 10; kitchen/dining 10; bedrooms 8 (we only used the master); bathrooms 7 (very well appointed but not as ritzy as the rest of the house / could use some freshening up e.g. master bath carpeting shows dirt/wear; laundry 10; garbage/recycling 4: very small bins; garage/parking 10; hot tub 10 (didn't use but looked awesome.) My suggestions on how to elevate the house even further: allow guests to use stereo/Sonos system, or suggest guests bring their own portable speaker. Also - renters be forewarned - do your homework and familiarize yourself with photos of the garage and entry stairway in the house listing, especially if you are arriving late at night. We arrived late and it was pitch black with no lights on anywhere, and we had trouble finding the house. And trouble getting into the garage (hint - it's not the garage keypad but the other one) and then trouble getting into the lower level door (go up to the top.) Previous guest left garbage overflowing in the can without closing the lid, and animals dragged out trash and rotten food, strewn all over the road and neighbor's property. I felt compelled to pick it up. I truly hope it wasn't the cleaning service. Awesome place - we loved it!
