We attended a workshop at the Pepper Tree and found it to be so peaceful and quiet. The energy there is so positive. Our suite had a full kitchen, and was incredibly clean and comfortable. The bathroom configuration was a tight squeeze, but we still enjoyed it and it was very clean.

We weren't sure what to expect (being in the desert) but the AC worked great, wifi, and the staff was very kind. It is a vegetarian facility, so the breakfasts provided were very grain heavy...bread, cereals, more bread, more cereals, a little fruit. That was our only drawback, not being grains eaters. Ojai has many charming restaurants and it's very close to Ventura as well. We enjoyed our time there and would go back.

Room tip: We stayed in the Lawrence Suite and really liked it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted you enjoyed this workshop and experience with us.
We are working to add some less grainy options to our breakfast, we are a little limited as to what we can offer by county rules, but this is an opportunity for creativity :)
We look forward to having you stay with us again in the near future.
Many Blessings,
Julien & the Retreat team

This is a very peaceful retreat space. I stayed in the Huxley room. An added benefit to staying here are many interesting spiritual books to read in the living room and the library. I stayed there at the recommendation of friends who have stayed there several times, and I do not regret it!

I highly recommend the Pepper Tree Retreat! I love the Chaplin Room. The many windows open up to the garden and let in the early morning sunshine. The grounds are lovely and peaceful. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I will stay here during my future visits to Ojai.

Room tip: If you like early morning sunshine, choose the Chaplin room.

The room was comfortable. All aspects of the stay are meticulously looked after. One can relax in the safety and serenity of the place. The grounds have clearly marked paths to stroll around. I walked around the premises and was spellbound by the beauty. I would go into the herbal garden and feel the wonder of the healing herbs. The library and the quiet room are inviting for meditation and study.

The staff is friendly and relaxed and willing to answer the queries. I would recommend this retreat for anyone who is interested in personal transformation.

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. The medicinal herb garden is a delightful place with many herbs and plants one may have never seen before. It is the perfect spot for meditation and to practice true observation.

See you next time!

Our room was Chaplin. Adorable is the list I can say. So clean and neat, with old charm and the view of the garden made us feel we were hugged by Mother Nature, nurturing us and offering so much calmness and happiness. Thank you! We will be back
