I just booked my next visit to the Lavender Inn for an anual trip with the girls. I have been there several times with the girls and with the husband and all visits were simply wonderful. We realxed in the gardens, enjoyed the wine and cheese. The breakfast is more than satisfying...there is plenty to eat. Eggs, sausage, fruit, lox... More

Ah, thank you for your wonderful review!! And thanks for rebooking with the 'girls'. We love it when a group of women come for a getaway. It reminds me of sleep-overs when I was younger. It truly does bring out the youth in us, as I have observed with other groups of women coming together. More

In describing The Lavender Inn, I feel compelled to go beyond the typical B&B descriptives of "charming," "quaint," and "lovely" -- this Inn (at least to my friend and me) is magical. The owner has obviously poured her heart and soul into this place, and it shows in every detail. The delightful innkeepers were warm, welcoming, professional, and helpful. The... More

I'm not a B&B kind of guy, but this place was fine. Ojai's a small town and this is better than being in one of the motels up and down the street. It's just a block off the main business street, so you can easily walk to restaurants, coffee shops, other shops, and a bar that plays country music and... More

Hi Fly Guy! Glad you stayed with us, but next time I hope you have time to try our Wine & Cheese and yummy, full breakfast. Ojai is a quiet town with a noise ordinance, but occasionally we do have noise that carries. We are working on that - we don't like it either. Next time we promise peace and... More

We made a spur of the moment decision to spend some time in Ojai after having previously visited it for the first time only five months earlier. The first visit was to the Ojai Inn & Spa which for all of its history, glamor and beauty, was a tad too far from the action for our liking. The Lavender Inn... More

We appreciate ALL your positive remarks about the Lavender Inn! We do have so many things we love about our Inn. And, yes, our location is THE best in Ojai - across from the shops, restaurants, and galleries though it still is quiet and peaceful. I have taken note about your suggestions for the bathroom - I'll try to find... More

Great place to stay and walk around Ojai. Very accommodating, great wine tasting, breakfest and the girls there were so helpful with everything. Very flexable on your check in time and you can enjoy the property even after you check out. Wow!

Move life back a hundred years and relax! Choose a quiet, separate bungalow (only one) or one of seven darling bedrooms upstairs in the historical main house. I have seen all seven of these rooms, and have stayed in several, because we come annually with six other couples to bicycle. Ojai has great trails for biking including one, separate from... More

My wife and I just spent a weekend away in Ojai, our first time there. What a pleasant find the Lavender Inn was for our stay! Beth, the innkeeper, was very friendly and helped us figure out what we wanted to do in Ojai according to our tastes. The inn is clean, quiet, and spacious. The living room is furnished... More

Even as a woman I don't usually stay at places with "lavender" in its name. But Ojai's Lavender Inn was a real find for my husband and myself. Clean, welcoming, quiet and with lots of history and character - we had a lovely stay there. The complimentary wine and cheese was a nice touch, we enjoyed doing the jigsaw puzzle... More

Thank you so much for your review and recommending us to your friends. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and design, with a balance of historic touches and 'the new'. I try to make sure it's not too 'lavender-ish' - I know the name can give a different impression. We look forward to welcoming you back!!! More
