Lovely getaway
We enjoyed our stay immensely! The rustic look of the outside of the old converted barn, belies the clean, spacious, welcoming space within. We enjoyed the quiet, walking around the horse stables, sitting on the comfortable front porch, and generally relaxing atmosphere. Owners Marianne and Vigo were warm and welcoming, and attentive. The welcoming array of muffins and drinks added a special touch too!

Beautiful Place
Had a great time staying here, really lovely property and fun to see the chickens and goats and horses etc... they brought over fresh eggs and ducks eggs which was very thoughtful and nice! Very cozy place and loved all the vintage furniture and decor style! Close to both Ojai and Ventura as well as some fun spots in santa paula. The only issue was that we didnt realize the hot tub, fire pit and pool are in shared spacing with another rental unit on site.. we still enjoyed the hot tub etc but never went in the pool since it was often in use and attached the the other home another family was staying in and having a pool was part of the draw of this property... it is also stated in the listing but we didnt realize. Marianne & Vito were so kind and we appreciated our stay! Definitely recommend it : )

Beautiful One-of-a-Kind Property
I found this property while looking for a rental near Ojai large enough for our family of five - and with three teens that isn’t always easy. The property seemed really lovely in the photos, but I was not really prepared for how cool the place really is. The barn house is really an old barn that was once a bunkhouse for the cowboys who worked on the ranch. Marianne and Vito have renovated the space with the perfect collection of handsome and interesting but comfortable antiques, and the bathrooms are beautiful. There is no central heat or air in the barn house, but heaters kept the bedrooms comfortable and toasty, and newly heated floors are an added bonus. The kitchen has everything - including two sets of dishes, one ceramic for indoors and one unbreakable set for outdoors. We didn’t enjoy the outdoor spaces as much as we could’ve - two porches, a pool, fire pit and grill, as we packed out our days with visits to Ojai, Ventura and Channel Islands - all very close, easy drives. We did meet all of the animals on site - including chickens, ducks, horses, cows, guinea fowl, and a bunch of adorable goats. The grown-ups also hiked the rim trail around the property, which has 360 views including a clear line all the way to the ocean. We could’ve spent all of our time on the ranch, and look forward to a return visit to do just that! Marianne and Vito are such considerate hosts. The kids loved it as well!

Veterans Retreat
It felt so other worldly… such a short distance frim town but you woke to the sun breaking through the trees and a rooster crowing. We had access to a jacuzzi and pool. Then had a BBQ while playing cornhole. We all agreed, it took us back to being a kid and the outdoors were our play ground.

Wonderful Ranch Experience for family and friends!
This converted barn on a working ranch was comfortable, great fun, and definitely the most unique place our families have vacationed together at!
Everyday the kids woke up excited to walk around the ranch and participate in taking care of the animals :)
Thanks to our hosts for their kind hospitality and for an unforgettable experience that we’ll remember for years!

Beautiful setting
The ranch is beautiful! Marianne and Vito are great hosts! The only downfalls would be that there is no a/c. It was pretty warm during the day, but the evenings were fine. Also, the pool could use some tlc.
