Minutes away from L.A., the stresses of city life evaporate once you are here. This retreat is very quiet and peaceful. No telephones, no TV, no radios, no traffic. It is very secluded, and only a 10 minute drive to downtown Ojai. Staff is very friendly. Rooms offer amazing views of the Ojai Valley. We stayed in the Bodhi Tree... More

It was our first visit to Ojai and I think we really lucked out finding the Ojai Retreat. Tucked away from the main street it has beautiful views all around and an atmosphere of total serenity. The guests seemed to really respect the fact that it was meant to be a quiet retreat and we barely heard a peep from... More

This is the place to stay if you want your own, private bungalow/cottage. It's perched upon a hill about 1 mile outside town. It's super quiet, clean and private. Each cottage has its own unique charm. We stayed in the Balcony room which is one of the best rooms at the Retreat. It's set back a little from the other... More

I had a great tine at Ojai retreat. The staff was wonderful, great location and excellent healthy breakfast. The room was comfortable without any distraction, ie TV. I'll definitely stay at Ojai retreat again.

Oh such a lovely spot! The Retreat is set on a hill above the Ojai valley, about five minutes from the center of town (once you know where you are going!). Our room was one of the least expensive and it was spacious, gracious and clean. The place is well titled as a "retreat". No TV, no radios. Breakfast was... More

My husband and I just returned from our second stay at the Ojai Retreat. If you are looking for a true retreat, you can find nothing better on the planet. Each room is different and all lovely. We stayed in the balcony room the first time. While there are not panoramic views from inside the room (which is very nice),... More

The Ojai Retreat is perfect for a relaxing get-away. The rooms (and about half are in private "cottages" are well appointed and most have an outdoor space - patio or balcony and en-suite bath. There is no TV or radio, and no free newspaper. It is a real get-away, but there is WiFi provided free of charge so if you... More

My wife and I wanted to get away for a couple days of complete relaxation and she did some looking around for just the right place. She found the Ojai Retreat, we read about it on tripadvisor and wondered if it could be as good as people had written. Guess what? It is. We spent 5 days and 4 nights... More

This was our second visit to the Ojai Retreat. The first time was last summer, 2012, and we stayed in the Bella Vista Room. It was very large, had super fast wifi (pleasantly surprised), and had everything we needed for our stay. The continental breakfast was very good, and the coffee was delicious. We enjoyed meeting the other guests during... More

Set within an inspiring landscape this retreat offers a real escape from the day to day grind. Sadly I was there on business so was not able to take full advantage of the amenities and walks; however, I did get to enjoy an excellent Spa treatment and take a couple of hours by one of the pools. The rooms are... More
