My husband and I needed to decompress and knew it would take a few days before we could actually do so. We started our decompression in Cambria and made our way down the coast and found ourselves 3 days later at Ojai Retreat. We only planned on one night but loved it here so much we asked to stay another.... More

Lovely, peaceful, relaxing... A great place to rest and rejuvenate. My husband and I made a last-minute decision to get out of town, and we're so glad we chose to stay at The Ojai Retreat. There are no televisions, phones, pets or young children, just nature and quiet. We stayed in their largest room which is separate from the other... More

My husband and I visit So. Ca. annually while visiting my folks as a side trip for ourselves. Last year was LV, NV. This year, we decided on Ojai, CA. due to TV program of Brothers and Sisters. Anyway, we drove the dreary So. Ca. freeways of 210, 134, 101 to reach our destination. We were treated to a wonderful... More

The Patio Room currently has an infestation of ants. When I turned on the faucet for the bath tub, hundreds of ants were flushed out with the water. Had I been in the tub at the moment that this happened, I would have been covered in ants! I spoke with the woman in the office about it. She indicated that... More

As a Christmas gift, I gave my daughter an overnight in Ojai. Of course my choice of lodging was the Ojai Retreat as I had stayed there several time before and loved it. It is quiet, inviting, simply appointed and exudes a soulful grace. The whole experience was delightful. We will return again as soon as we have another break. More

Once you get here, you feel a sense of tranquility. It was hard to find the place at night though. We stayed in the Oaks room was had a heater in the bathroom, a good size bed and a basic kitchenette. Spectacular views of the valleys made this place special. It also provided a fresh breakfast as well. If looking... More

I've stayed at the Ojai Retreat countless times, going back more than 10 years. It's much like staying at a large private home -- with rooms mostly set off from one another, sometimes in separate buildings. The rooms I've stayed in (mostly Balcony and Sky) have almost a tree-house feel to them, as the property is perched on a knoll,... More

If you are seeking serenity, and want to tuck yourself into the very heart of Ojai's natural beauty, then the Ojai Retreat is for you! We've stayed at many different hotels in Ojai, including the wonderful Ojai Valley Inn and Spa, which we still enjoy on occasion. However, when we really want to get away from it all and rest...

I agree with all the previous positive reviews and want to add a couple of points. I'm hesitant to stay at B&Bs, because I generally prefer solitude and quiet when I travel. You definitely get that here. The main house where the delicious homemade breakfast is served is a large space with multiple seating areas, so you can choose how... More
