    Our water heater was noisy -- probably needed to have a filter changed. Not a big deal.

    The grounds are beautiful. Jade and her co-staff were super helpful and knowledgeable.

    Cold pool. Call ahead. Most customer don’t go in because they are over 50 (my guess) and and are most sensitive to cold.

    Almost everything. Wanted to swim laps quietly in am…but “heated naturally” I am 79 year old lap swimmer. 40 laps in 25 yard pool. Too cold One of the best jacuzzi settings ever

    We were in room number 12 which was handicapped because I had my mother with me. But it’s probably the noisiest room that you have. I did not realize that when I booked or else I would’ve gladly paid extra to be further away from the road

    The landscaping grounds and architecture was just beautiful. Staff was wonderful. The room was perfect.

    Unit was close to the road but night was quiet.

    Room basic but with character. Beds soft but comfortable. Grounds pretty with some lush foliage. We liked the individual feel of the units. Breakfast at $20 for 2 is a bargain. We would stay here again.

    The only difficulty is entering the Inn's driveway off the main road (CA 33). It's pretty busy and coming back from Ojai to the Inn involves an awkward left-hand turn across oncoming traffic. Everything else was wonderful.

    We loved our stay. Everyone was so welcoming. Our "Casita" was just exactly what we needed with our dog along with us. It had a full kitchen, living area, separate bedroom and bath. The level of comfort just fit our desires and allowed the dog to be himself. The grounds were big and allowed us to take the puppy our for his last "walk" each evening without leaving the property. Finally, the Ojai to Ventura walking/biking path across the street gave us the opportunity to take a long walk each morning in the shade of the trees. We will definitely come back.
