We were looking for relaxing place to go for an extended weekend to recharge, and we chose the Emerald Iguana in Ojai, CA. It's location's ideal as it's only a 1/2 mile or so from the downtown "Arcade" and Libby park, but is tucked away at the end of a small residential street that is lush, quiet and beautiful. The... more

My husband and I were looking for a great place to stay for a long weekend before our first child comes in August and this was it! Not only was our room totally gorgeous (we stayed in the Feather) but the location couldn't be beat. The grounds were beautiful and quiet and peaceful. There were several other guests staying there... more

This inn was recommended to us by friends and we were very excited by the prospect of a peaceful, quiet weekend away. It is a very beautiful facility with lush landscaping and comfortable cottages. The room was very clean and uniquely decorated. However, the walls in the cottage were very thin and we heard our neighbors talking and showering. I... more

We stayed 2 nights at the Emerald Iguana. The 1st. night in the Frog and the 2nd night in one of the single rooms with a claw foot tub. The bed in the Frog was really horrible but the Inn itself was lovely. The next morning we asked to move and the lady at the desk was so nice. They... more

I came to Ojai California to do a special birthday retreat and brought my grown up kids, 21 and 23. On the night we arrived at the Emerald Iguana we were noticed we were upgraded to a larger "villa" with a gorgeous kitchen, well appointed living room, and two luxious queen beds--which was not in our original booking. The next... more

We arrived there in the evening with a light rain and mist,which added to our adventure. The minute you step onto the property,you feel like you've stepped into a storybook! Why..you can almost catch fleeting faires and pixies out of the corner of your eyes! There is certain magical quality to this place. Our two story " Cricket" chateau was... more

Hmmmm ... we are repeat customers (7th stay in 3 years) ... on a previous visit our room was not cleaned after we'd been out all day. So this time, to make sure, we reminded the blond woman wearing a white raincoat at the front desk to please have our room cleaned. We left a $10 bill and a box... more

I lived in Ojai for several years but moved away 4 years ago. This past weekend my son was married in Ojai at "The Ranch House". The bride's family was from out of state so they all booked rooms here. I booked a room for myself so I didn't have to travel back home between a weekend full of events.... more

A real charmer on the outside: great location, lush gardens, beautiful rooms with lots of nice touches. Sadly, the staff was at best unresponsive and at worst rude and quite uncharming. Attitude out the ying-yang. While not expecting the amenities of a 4 Seasons, small requests for ice, directions, etc. could have at least been met without hositility. This inn... more
