Top Lake Casitas Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Ojai Retreat & Inn

8/10 Good

"Vry"

Ojai Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding grounds. Extremely helpful staff. I’m about to make another reservation."

Oakridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect place for people who need a place to “stay” in the Ojai Valley, and don’t have hundreds of extra dollars to spend one of the fancier spas in the area. Clean, comfortable, convenient parking."

Casa Esquina: Cozy Studio in the Ojai Valley's “Mo Town”

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very well prepared for our stay."

Eva's Place

10/10 Excellent

"This is a super cute little “apartment” attached to the main house with its own private courtyard. It had a nice bathroom, microwave, fridge, and coffeemaker, which are the essentials for me. The bed was comfortable and I got my own parking spot too! There was also an adorable, friendly cat that warmed my heart! I would definitely stay at Eva’s place again."

Relaxing views, next door to the trail. Views, Sauna, jacuzzi, pool & donkeys.

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place was heaven for me and my teenage kids - the host is delightful as are her dog and donkeys. The place is quaint, comfortable and peaceful and I wish we had stayed longer as there was so much more we would have liked to explore."

Ojai Serenity House - Peaceful Cozy Oasis Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"The house was lovely and very clean, the yard was one from your dreams. Fruit on most of the trees, Birds visiting regularly, we even picked oranges from the yard for Juice everyday. The rooms were generous in size though the bunk beds while very comfortable were not a great choice for our group, a ladder would have helped. The one shower could be difficult to achieve pressure , though worked fine overall. We would absolutely return , a perfect location for driving to local spots. The neighborhood was quiet and safe with limited traffic. We loved it!!!"

Winnebago camper set up on beautiful property with resort style pool and jacuzzi

10/10 Excellent

Ojai Pixie Cottage | Private Yard + Full Kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"Really cute property and very comfortable. Easy access and close to town, though I mostly Uber'd, it's about a 7 or 8 min drive. communications were excellent and easy to follow."
