Whenever we go to the Ventura/Santa Barbara/Ojai area, we always stay at the Ojai Retreat Center. It is simply the best. The atmosphere is very serene. The rooms are not large, but extremely comfortable. We have always had a refrigerator in the room and there is no TV, which is just fine for us. The breakfasts are very healthy and... more

My cousins and our spouses just spent 3 wonderful days at the Ojai Retreat. The large meeting room was perfect as we sat around the fireplace to remember family times together and share old pictures. Breakfast was fresh and carefully prepared, featuring a nice selection of breads. Our garden room was quiet with a lovely valley view. All of the... more

I highly recommend the Ojai Retreat. I needed a serene place for a spiritual renewal and the Garden Room was perfect. If you're new to Ojai, the office manager Clare has wonderful resources. The Ojai Retreat is a perfect place for a quick and easy get-away from LA - quietly sitting in silence, writing, or contemplating in the midst of... more

The Ojai Retreat is located on a ridge with lovely valley views in both directions. We stayed in a cottage with a private terrace, shaded by oak trees. My husband was happy relaxing there for most of the day with a book. We also went hiking and visited Ventura beaches. The Retreat grounds and gardens are nice for strolling, the... more

We visit Ojai a couple of time a year, and we'd heard about the Ojai Retreat a few times, but never tried it. Boy! Are we glad we did! This is a hidden gem in one of the best places in the world. Each cottage has a separate balcony, and it's great for just sitting and decompressing. The staff is... more

Claire at the front desk was friendly and helpful and our first indication that we would really enjoy The Ojai Retreat. Our room amazed us, first with the view as we stepped onto the balcony, much better than expected based on the photos from the website. The room itself felt brand new, was tasteful and had tons of storage. Good... more

Clare and staff made us feel so welcomed. Our cottage was comfortable, warm, inviting and spotless. We had a lovely picnic and wine on our private balcony. The location is fairly remote but once there you will see the beauty of your surroundings. It doesn't have the typical amenities, pool, restaurant, tv, but we soon realized we didn't need to... more
