One night for a concert
My sister and I stayed one night to go to a cincert at the Libbey Bowl in Ojai. The stay was lovely. Mary is very accommodating. I enjoyed the view & the outdoor area, the donkeys, and most of all the beautiful trail accessible just down the street from the house. There is a spiritual accent to the decoration if that is something that intersts you; it does me.

Okay, would try somewhere new next time.
If you’re interested in booking this space and planning to use more than one of the two bedrooms, you should be aware that the second bedroom is a short walk away from the first (outdoors including some stairs) - meaning that if you want access to the bathroom you have to leave the structure you’re in and walk outside down some stairs to to reach the building that has the first bedroom and bathroom. And there is no private indoor dining space (at night when it was cold and we didn’t want to eat outside or in the space shared with the host, we ate huddled on our beds). So be sure to read the comments as the listing isn’t completely accurate about the space itself. From the thematic decor, to the thoughtful garden scape, to the donkeys - there’s no doubt Mary has built herself a unique and intentional sanctuary in her home. However, in our interactions with Mary, we were made to feel more like an inconvenience rather than welcome guests. While this was adequate for your stay, we will visit somewhere new next time we stay in the area.

Our stay was great! Mary was welcoming and offered great suggestions for places to eat and things to check out. So grateful for a couple of days to unplug after the holidays.

Be aware that you don't have a private indoor sitting area, dining area or kitchen
The host was lovely and helpful. However, the property is advertised as Entire Home. This is not the case. There are 2 bedrooms separated by outdoor space, which includes stairs. Each bedroom is almost entirely filled with 1 or 2 beds. The only private sitting areas are outdoors, which is lovely in a lot of weather, but not all. The kitchen, the dining area and the indoor sitting area pictured can be reached by going outside the main bedroom, and walking around the building to the front door. These spaces are shared with the host. There is a small dorm-sized refrigerator that is for guests, which is outdoors, outside the main bedroom on a landing (not shown in the pictures). While the host is lovely, the outdoor spaces are a gorgeous as pictured, and the donkeys are super cute, we were disappointed in the inaccuracy of the listing.

A lovely retreat
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!
