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

Not far from the big cities, but everything here is pleasant, peaceful, and relaxing. We hope to be back. For a retreat the balance of having nice private spaces, separate from the lovely commons was well achieved.

My wife and I stayed at this Bed and breakfast Retreat and had a wonderful stay. The views around Ojai were outstanding and the breakfast was very tasty as well. We would recommend this establishment to everyone.

I just spent two days at the Ojai Retreat in Ojai, California. The weather was perfect, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was outstanding (breakfast). The room we had was beautiful with a transcendent view of the landscape, flowers, and trees We were also to participate in a Buddhist celebration at the Retreat's awesome new outdoor amphitheater...

We just spent two days at the Ojai treat and couldn't be more pleased with everything about the place. It is an oasis of quiet, has lovely grounds and mountain views and a breakfast buffet that is fresh, healthy, and delicious. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and charming, without pretentious frills, or devices such as phones, flat screen... More

My husband and I arrived at this beautiful retreat at night. In spite of it being off hours for the office, we conveniently found our key at the office box. The map with directions was easy to navigate so we got to our room easily. The room itself was so clean, like new! and everything was perfectly in place. The... More

The front desk and all the staff are so friendly and are there to make sure your stay is without flaw. This is a rare and special secluded place to stay and yet so close to everything! The 5 acre hilltop location gives a buffer zone of nature, walking trails and majestic views all around. I arrived after dark and... More

We spent 3 nights at the Ojai Retreat in early March. It had been highly recommended by some friends. We loved it. It is a lovely setting on a hill with bucolic views of the surrounding farms and mountains. They have a rich buffet breakfast every morning that got us going for the day. We sat and ate and basked...
