    The breakfast spread was a delightful standout, with local cheeses and mouthwatering jams that made each morning a treat. Plus, the secluded vibe of the Topa Topa Room let us savor the stunning mountain views in peace. Such a gem!

    Despite the charming ambiance, our bathroom was a bit cramped and could use a refresh. Plus, there was some morning chatter from outside that punctured the tranquility when we just wanted to enjoy our private deck.

    Tranquil Escape with Room for Improvement

    Our two-night stay was peaceful. The views were breathtaking, especially from the patio. The local restaurants offered delightful, organic meals that we thoroughly enjoyed, though the service could be friendlier. Future guests should ensure they book the right room for the best experience.

    We had a lovely family getaway at this charming spot. The open terrace overlooking the mountains was perfect for relaxation, and we enjoyed our mornings with the delicious breakfast while the grandkids explored the beautiful gardens. The cozy rooms made us feel right at home.

    My kids wished for a little more entertainment on site.

    We had an incredible getaway with friends! We loved exploring the beautiful area and enjoyed performances at the Ojai Music Festival. The spot is peaceful and perfect for unwinding. Breakfast on the terrace was a highlight, and being unplugged from the world felt refreshing. Nature trails offered stunning views, and the staff was super friendly.

The beautifully landscaped grounds were ideal for relaxation, and I appreciated the cozy and well-appointed Cozy Room. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth experience, and the breakfast included a variety of delicious options, including fresh fruit and artisan cheeses.

    The Wi-Fi connection was spotty at times.

    This place blew me away with its breathtaking views of the mountains and beautifully landscaped grounds. I loved strolling through the gardens, feeling completely at peace. The breakfast was a real treat every morning, offering a delicious variety, including local cheeses and jams. The staff deserves praise for being incredibly friendly and welcoming. My room was cozy, but the bathroom felt a bit cramped and could definitely use some updates. There was also some morning chatter from outside, which broke the calm vibe I hoped for. Those small inconveniences didn't take away from the overall charm of the place, but a refresh of some amenities could really elevate the stay.

    peaceful gardens

    Stunning views stretch out from the property, particularly impressive from the Ojai Suite. The gardens are a serene spot for morning coffee, and nature trails are easily accessible for peaceful walks.

    The Ojai Suite, while boasting amazing views, feels dated and lacks modern upgrades that might elevate the experience. It also comes with a barrage of notes about rules and restrictions that can feel overwhelming. the atmosphere edges more towards a retreat than a fully relaxing getaway. Additionally, the breakfast could benefit from more diverse options, as it leans heavily on bread and pastries without much variety.
