“Still & Transformative”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

Was very lucky to have stumbled into this haven of tranquility and reality.
Definitely beats a generic motel on the side of a road.
oh fruit trees and oranges of ojai
pines for those who reach the top
conversations and mountains

Room Tip: what, give it away??

“Peaceful, beautiful, overall wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

A lovely place to stay for deep relaxation and serenity. Quiet and beautiful tucked away in the east end of Ojai. There is a true healing energy here. The library has so much to offer you'll leave rejuvenated, more in-tune and more intelligent.

“Pepper Tree Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

This is a beautiful place for quiet and a good vibe. No TV, no pool, just incredible peace. The place is immaculate. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. Plenty of places to walk and enjoy Ojai outdoors which is the best fitness center you can get. Wonderful Krishnamurti library just up the hill. Breakfast companionship and conversation with other guests is a highlight. Not a place for small children.

Room Tip: They're all good, just depends on what you need. Probably quieter on the second floor, since you...

“Wonderful Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

If you're looking for a quiet, isolated retreat AND a bed and breakfast, this is your place.

Great staff. And the library is a treat for any avid readers.

The surrounding plot of land is equally awe-inspiring.

Room Tip: Each room is special.

“A serene place to relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

This is a great Bed and Breakfast (all vegetarian) that is next to the Krishnamurti library, a lovely place to learn about yourself and what surrounds us. This was our 3rd or 4th trip here and we always enjoy our stay.

Some tips:

If you like oranges, they have a huge orange grove to pick oranges from to take back home.

Meditate in the Krishnamurti library.

There is a hiking trail not too far away that we took, it was lovely, not too hard.

If you are looking for a place to party and booze up, this is NOT the place for you.

Kids 12 and under are not allowed.

Come here if you want to get away from everything and relax and focus on yourself.

A great place to write.
