The washer and dryer cannot be used by guests, but there is a laundromat in the village and another in Frazier Park. Keep in mind this is not a hotel, this is a privately owned cabin in the middle of a National Forest. The water may take a little longer to heat up, the electric heaters might smell a little dusty the first time they are turned on after a long summer, spiders might rebuild their webs less than 24 hours after the space is cleaned, there may be dirt on the outdoor furniture, you might need to wear insect repellant in the summer or shovel the driveway and deck in the winter. If you are looking for a luxury hotel, this is not it, but if you want a fun, comfortable getaway in the mountains, please submit a booking inquiry.

You may also need to show confirmation of your reservation. We have a snow shovel on the deck in case you need to shovel the driveway or deck. Parking on the street is not allowed. We've had several guests say they grew up on the East coast and know how to drive in snow, only to comment about the curvy, icy road into the forest which is no joke! Even if you are prepared, someone in front of you might not be, so have warm clothes or blankets in the car, a full tank of gas, and some snacks in case you get stuck. Other things to note There is an outdoor security camera on the property. The cabin is not in the middle of nowhere, we have neighbors on all sides. Please be respectful. The wi-fi is pretty reliable but as we are in a rural area, it can be slow and it does go out from time to time.

Cabins near Ojai guide

Overview

Relax and reconnect with nature in artsy and spiritual Ojai. Nestled in a scenic valley in the Topatopa Mountains, it’s a popular getaway from Los Angeles, just 75 miles away. Browse for artisan wares at locally owned boutiques; sample wine, olive oil, and honey; or rejuvenate at a wellness retreat and savor the famous “pink moment" sunsets from Meditation Mount. Campers can explore the golden valley on foot, bike, or horseback, then glamp in style in town or camp nearby. Head to the coast for sun, sand, and surf, or further into the Los Padres National Forest for rugged terrain, trails, and wilderness.

Where to go

Near downtown Ojai, Camp Comfort offers tent and RV sites with full hookups and amenities, while Dennison Park Campground offers peaceful valley views. Nearby Lake Casitas Recreation Area, just seven miles west of Ojai, offers water recreation and hundreds of lakeside and wooded campsites. Head toward the coast to enjoy ocean views and play in the Pacific. Camp in an RV at Rincon Parkway Beach, or stay in a tent or RV at Hobson Beach Park and Faria Beach Park. The rocky beachfront at Emma Woods State Beach draws surfers, anglers, and RV campers.

Los Padres National Forest

The national forest spans 1.75 million acres and offers camping options from dispersed to developed, including more than 60 campgrounds. Explore the Matilija Wilderness or the Sespe Wilderness and soak in the natural hot springs. Stay at a streamside campsite at nearby Wheeler Gorge Campground, built by Boy Scouts. The Rose Valley Campground offers easy access to the popular Rose Valley Falls Trail. Several other campgrounds can be found further inland, including Middle Lion and Lion Canyon campgrounds.

Santa Barbara

Drive about 45 minutes up the coast to experience the American Riviera in Santa Barbara. On the way, Carpinteria State Beach offers several campgrounds for tents and RVs, including beachfront sites. Closer to Santa Barbara, play and camp in the shade at El Capitan State Beach, or enjoy great coastal fishing and camping at Refugio State Beach. Or head inland to the Cachuma Lake Recreation Area for year-round recreation and camping options for tents, RVs, cabins, and yurts.

Malibu

Head south along the coast to glitzy Malibu. Enjoy plenty of sun and surf at iconic Malibu Lagoon State Beach, then head into the Santa Monica Mountains to camp at Malibu Creek State Park, and explore the rugged terrain and Hollywood filming history. Along the coast, Point Mugu State Park and Leo Carillo State Park offer miles of beachfront, plus numerous camping options from family campgrounds to primitive hike-in sites.

When to go

Summer is a popular time for visiting Ojai, though temperatures can soar. Summer weekends are particularly busy. Visit in the spring and fall for pleasant weather for outdoor activities and smaller crowds. Ojai is home to several popular festivals, including the Ojai Music Festival, with many in June and October. Wildflower displays can be dazzling in the spring.

Know before you go

Many area campgrounds are very popular, meaning advance reservations are recommended and sometimes required. Most reservations need to be made at least two to three days in advance.
Dispersed camping in Los Padres National Forest is only allowed in certain areas and requires a permit. Permits are also required for campfires, though campers need to be aware of fire restrictions and bans.
Bring your own water for certain campgrounds, including Wheeler Gorge and Rose Valley.
