We purchased this property after visiting Ojai many times over the years. We decided to relocate out of Los Angeles. We have thoroughly enjoyed the Ojai Valley with all the friendly people, including tourists and locals. We enjoy long walks, wine tasting, tennis, swimming and dining with good friends.
Carolyn Olsen purchased this cottage in 1992
We often vacationed in Ojai We saw this property and fell in love with it. It is a little piece of paradise yet a short walk to town and the Ojai Valley Inn.
Ojai is a wonderful spot in central coastal California. Carolyn,the owner, is very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Our 30 day stay flew by and we look forward to visiting again next year. Missing the beautiful views and bird sounds of the sublime casita!
Our stay at Carolyn's casita was perfect. Peace and quiet. A few blocks from the center of town - many fine places to eat, shop, etc.
Her photos showed us exactly what to expect - a private, comfortable, sunny cottage with a swimming pool, hidden behind her home and surrounded by gardens and lounging areas. What is not visible in the photos is her attention to detail. High end cookware and appliances, plenty of bed pillows to choose from, hangers in the closet along with iron, board, and drying rack, more than enough towels and blankets, books galore. The casita comes with everything you need, from coffee and milk and cookies, to toothpicks and office supplies.
Carolyn is a gem - welcoming and thoughtful, intelligent and generous. We will always remember our idyllic weeks living in her guest house. Thank you, Carolyn!
This guest house is ideal for two people. We stayed for a month and enjoyed our stay, including the friendly owner Carolyn who attended to every request without being intrusive, her lovely poodle, and the weekly cleaning service. The kitchenette and fridge are small but workable, but all other aspects of the cottage are outstanding. The TV and Wifi always worked, and there is dedicated off-street parking and a lovely outdoor dining area with views of the Topa Topa. The bed is comfortable and there are plenty of pillows, sheets and towels. If you love to read, the book collection is one of the best I've seen in a rental cottage. From this cottage, you can take your daily walks throughout the Arbolada or stroll to downtown Ojai. We highly recommend this Ojai cottage and would not hesitate to rent it again.
We spent a week in Ojai and were thrilled with Carolyn's rental cottage. Not only was it quiet and private, but the 1 acre property was lush, with views to the mountains which border the Ojai Valley. As other guest have noted, the photos on the website do not actually do this cottage justice. It is perfect for two people. Carolyn affords her guests total privacy, briefly "touching base" periodically to make sure everything is OK and to offer advise for dining and sight seeing. I cannot imagine an rental better suited for a couple visiting Ojai.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Guest Casita. The Casita was comfortably relaxing and beautifully decorated fitting our needs perfectly. We especially enjoyed the magnificent view of the mountains, listening to music and reading books from the impressive library provided by Carolyn (loved our daily visits from Stella too!). We also appreciated the quietness of the surrounding area yet close proximity to town - walking distance to great restaurants, shops and Ojai Valley Inn. Carolyn was very accommodating while being respectful of our privacy. This lovely Casita is a great place to stay while visiting Ojai! We plan to come back.
We had a great six night stay at the Guest House. Our host Carolyn was very warm and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a beautiful property in a fantastic location. Thank you Carolyn for the wonderful, relaxing stay!
Wine tasting; seasonal concerts at Libbey Bowl within walking distance, two of the finest restaurants are 2 blocks away, Suzanne's Cuisine and Nocciola; bicycle rentals; hiking. There is always something happening in Ojai.
