We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing weekend at Ojai Retreat and Inn among their gorgeous gardens, especially the calla lilies behind the Ojai Suite room along with delicious and healthy hot breakfasts that included something for every palate. The site manager, Dana, was especially helpful when we needed him. If you’re seeking beautiful sunsets AND sunrises, the Ojai Suite room is ideal.

Very quiet and tranquil surroundings. Full breakfast was good. Coffee is very strong. I diluted it with hot water in half and still strong. A lot of birds to view. Room was clean. I like the separate private bathroom. Downtown shopping and restaurants very close.

I loved my stay at the Ojai Retreat and Inn! I arrived late at night and since no one was at the front desk, they left my check-in packet and keys in a cute envelope for me on their cork board—very organized! My room was lovely. Such a comfy bed, fridge, microwave, bathroom, table, rocking chair and two outdoor patios. The breakfast selection in their charming reading room was wonderful too—granola, eggs, bagels, pastries, Greek yogurt, fruits etc. the views were breathtaking! I was only here for the weekend to run in the Ventura Half Marathon but would love to return for a longer stay. There are no TV’s and children under 12 are not allowed, so it’s super quiet which exactly what I needed. They also have yoga, meditation, guided hikes, horseback riding, weddings, arts and cultural groups/performances etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I’ll be back soon!

My boyfriend surprised me with a weekend away here for my birthday. It was lovely. There are plenty of places to have quiet moments on the hotel's grounds, as well as places to look out on to the beautiful scenery of Ojai. The breakfast was great, and you can enjoy it on the patio overlooking the valley. The location is perfect in that it is close to the downtown area, but far away enough to feel like you are really getting away from it all. The room was comfortable and I loved that there was no TV. You won't even miss it as you will just enjoy the quit beauty around you instead.

Please allow us to echo the other positive reviews. This is a clean, relaxed, and quiet place to stay in Ojai. Every room is different so make sure what you book is what want (we stayed in the Oak Room and it was exactly as advertised). Breakfast was good and the coffee was great. Everyone we interacted with was positive and helpful.

The front desk lady was so nice and very helpful with information about the area. The room was comfortable, spacious, everything we needed. The grounds were gorgeous, nice walking trails. The breakfast was superb, very healthy choices. The views… amazing. The bed, comfortable. The entire property, quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be back. A hidden gem in Ojai.

I've been to Ojai several times, but this was my first stay here. From now it will be my first choice. The setting is absolutely beautiful and extremely unique. Watching the sunset from the "pink moment terrace" and later enjoying the sounds of the Ojai Valley as night fell was deeply relaxing. The distance from town is just right - far enough for the location to be peaceful, but close enough to be very convenient. My room was clean, very pretty and equipped with everything I needed. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and I loved being able to have greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs and fantastic granola (there were also a lot of other items, like croissants, scones, bagels, cheese, etc.) The staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful. I can't wait to return!

A beautiful, tranquil, serene setting! The room was very comfortable and clean. The layout of the room with the bay window overlooking the valley was lovely. The staff were friendly and low key. The best part is that it felt like staying at a well maintained guest house rather than a hotel. The views from the outdoor dinner area were spectacular. Overall, a magical and unforgettable place!

After reading the reviews. I decided to go to Ojai Retreat and Inn for a little rest and relaxation. I was lured by the promise of breathtaking views, excellent service, and quiet solitude. And that’s exactly what I received! After staying in the Eucalyptus Room for 3 nights, I was ready to head back to LA with a clear head and emotional rejuvenation. My favorite aspect of my visit was the expansive grounds. You are completely surrounded by nature. The mountain and valley views will take your breath away. I loved seeing all the wildlife: birds, squirrels, cottontail bunnies, lizards, and butterflies are aplenty. The sense of calm envelops you and refreshes your mind and spirit. My other favorite aspect of my visit was the privacy and quiet. I was able to journal, nap, and relax with little effort. The energy of the place allowed me to do just that. I highly recommend the Ojai Retreat for anyone needing a beautiful place to refresh and reset. The customer service was excellent, and Lia at the front desk was delightful. My room was spotless and tastefully decorated. The continental breakfast each morning got me off to a nutritious start. I met some other guests and found out that they are frequent visitors, appreciating the same things as myself: the incredible views, the peace and comfort, and the calm energy that flows throughout the entire setting. I highly recommend the Ojai Retreat and Inn without hesitation and plan to visit again in the near future!
