Escape from the stress of urban life with a stay in this charming log cabin, surrounded by ancient pine forests. With breathtaking walks right from your doorstep, a fantastic board game collection, and little-to-no phone signal, you are guaranteed to come back from this trip feeling completely invigorated. A small family or group of four, plus any well-behaved pets, can spend some quality time together in the tranquil setting. Sit around the crackling fireplace on chilly nights or barbecue under the stars on a balmy summer's night. Rustic yet intimate, the interior feels like you're tucked away as California's little secret. The peaceful ambiance is ideal if you're looking to work on a creative project and need a place to let your ideas flow. Outside of the retreat, the encompassing scenery is adorned by enticing walking trails. Follow the winding paths through the exotic flora and fauna that decorate the rural landscape. It's like walking through a magical fairytale.

About Ojai
If you thought Palm Springs was out there, just wait until you visit Ojai. Pronounced as if you just unexpectedly bumped into someone you don’t like very much (‘Ohh...hi’), this pastoral sanctuary north of Santa Barbara in the Topatopa mountains has it all. Meditation retreats run by old school hippie healers? Absolutely. Organic farms spearheaded by new-age thinkers? You’ve got it. Five-star spa hotels with gourmet dining rooms? That too....
