My sister was married here in 1988 as it was a church then. She and her husband found it had changed to a B & B and stayed several times before my sister and I had. She has been there about 10 times and I have stayed 3 times. Richard and Nona are the sweetest most accommodating hosts you could... More

The Victorian Rose is sooooo lovely! The entire building is truly beautiful and our suite was lush and gorgeous. This historical masterpiece is a sight to see for sure! The breakfast was gourmet and comforting and all of the guests had a wonderful time at the table as we shared a delicious meal. In the evening, sweet and savory tempting... More

The history is wonderful, owners are very friendly and accomodating. It really needs to be cleaned, badly. Cobwebs on the gate outside, old faded flyers stuck in the door. Cobwebs in the window of the room. Tables outside caked with black grime, dead plants, and a broom propped in the corner of the deck. The bedding did not look like... More

Loved the Victorian Rose and the friendly innkeepers. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was great even though I walked across the hall to use it (it was my own bathroom). Best of all were the gourmet, yummy breakfasts and the history of the Victorian Rose. I appreciated being allowed to check in a bit late. Also loved the... More

We were seeing a concert in Santa Barbara but anything remotely reasonable was sold out. My wife and I saw this place a few years prior and always kept it in mind. Ventura is a quick drive from SB so this was the logical option. How the owners had the patience to renovate an entire church (built in 1890) and... More

Loved this place. There's a picture of the church in the foyer from 1890 - and you really get a sense of history when you're there. Our room had floor to ceiling stained glass windows, and while they've had to make some necessary upgrades - the feel of an old church has been preserved. The main living area just makes... More

This is a converted church that's more than 100 years old. The owners did a nice job renovating it. It feels spiritual but not too church-like. There are some old photos from when it was first built on the walls, and it's clear that this used to be the very edge of town. Now it's a short walk or drive... More

If anyone is looking for an amazing place to stay around the Ventura area, this beautiful B&B is truly one of a kind. Richard and Nona have done a really amazing job converting this 1880's era church into a totally different lodging experience. There is beautiful original German stained glass everywhere, high ceilings, antique furniture with many pieces original to... More

I really liked this place - the church was fascinating and the historical context was worth learning about. It is walking distance to pretty much anything that you need in Venture. I went there for one weekend night on my way to the Oaks at Ojai (which turned out to be a bad experience) but my night at the B&B... More
