Book a hotel near Lake Casitas Recreation Area, California

"Good ol' fashioned area, beautiful views all around. Friendly staff (humans, birds, frogs, rabbits, etc etc) and home hearty property. "

"The stay here was delightful and would definitely come back again. "

"Room is a bit smelly. "

"We made our way to the place and were greeted once we arrived (late due to heavy traffic), and given the grand tour of the place. It was lovely from the outset, and was the perfect base as we explored the area. The hot tub was a pleasant relief after spending the days adventuring, and Trigger and Spanky (the mini donkeys were always affable and ready for treats!). We had what we needed and some, and it was overall a very comfortable space to crash, and the bike ride to Ventura Beach (9ish miles - rented the electric bikes) was pretty awesome with the trailhead right beside the house. Add to that some amazing restaurants nearby and it made for an awesome anniversary/birthday escape! Can't forget to shout out Bonkers the puppy, who truly lives up to his name!"

"We absolutely loved our stay at this secluded villa. The property exceeded our expectations, both in its description and photos. It was as if we were being hosted by a caring family member, genuinely invested in our comfort and well-being. Thoughtful welcome gifts and relaxing music greeted us upon arrival, and the breathtaking hilltop views from the back door left us in awe. We made the most of our trip with a visit to Carpinteria Beach (just a 15-minute drive away), and even hired Linda, a local yogi, for a serene yoga session under the tree in the backyard. Downtown Ojai’s shops, breweries, and restaurants were also a highlight. We had so much fun playing board games at the stunning dining table and ending our nights around the fire pit, toasting marshmallows and enjoying a glass of wine. Our three-night stay felt full of experiences, yet we could have easily spent double the time here and still discovered more to enjoy. Thank you, Laura, for your thoughtful and gracious hosting. I hope to return and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful, unforgettable getaway."
