I arrived early to find my room all prepared. I was greeted warmly by Michelle, the retreat manager, and she gently & cheerfully showed me around the building and grounds, despite her not feeling very well that day. I visited the Krishnamurti Library which was only a few yards from the main house, and was again met by a delightful man, Michael, who gave a tour of the rooms there and lovingly conveyed memories of Krishnamurti and his life in Ojai. I slept better than I have in years in the tranquility of this lovely place, and the unexpected comfort of a memory foam mattress! The staff and other guests were very respectful of one another, each keeping to his or her own purpose for being at Pepper Tree and honoring the quiet for others. Breakfast the next morning was a wonderful experience, as I met many of the retreat guests at the common dining room and shared bits of our spiritual journeys. Profound, that people who never knew each other before could be so open and supportive of one another. I have already recommended the Pepper Tree Retreat to my colleagues and friends... and look forward to coming again. Thank you so much for a much-needed respite from my obligations and taking such good care of me... body, mind, and spirit.

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
quiet, quiet

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.

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.
