About this house rental

About this place a PMA (private membership)
A home share with private entrance, private yard, patio and sauna, jacuzzi and pool all private with views out to the canyon. Outdoor living area and a bike trail that goes all the way to the beach is right next door. (I rent electric bikes)
The bedroom sleeps three. Fold out couch can accommodate 2 more.

Outdoor area depending on the weather can be dusty with leaves. Indoor area can have cob webs mins after we dust! We do our best to keep up:)

Any check in after 7:00 will be self check in and we can go over that day of.
The space
“A Birds Nest” is nestled on a hill side surrounded by Oak trees and birds, with a seasonal creek below.
You have a private bath and french doors leading out to your private patio with jacuzzi, sauna and pool.
I have my own living space on the other side of the house, opposite your areas. Very private, however kitchen is shared. I can be as friendly or evasive as you need.

A short drive from Los Angeles yet it feels a million miles away. 0.8 miles away from a beautiful 800 acre winery with outside fire pits. Less than 5 mins from Lake Casitas with a water park and of coarse 10 mins to Ventura beach 5 mins to downtown Ojai.
At the end of a quite cul de sac and a few short steps to the bike path that will take you all the way to the beach or up into Ojai.
Beach leisurely bike ride 45 mins. I rent electric bikes ($20 each) duration of your stay.
Ventura Spirits is right on the trail where you can learn about the art of distillery and try a flight. Art city is another stop before the beach you’ll find amazing creativity.
Watch as the two mini donkeys play together kicking up dust, or they watch you as you lounge outside hoping you'll give them a cookie. (available in pantry)
Hike the many trails offered near by.
Flexible check in but please keep me posted.

Mary is a wonderful host with lots of great tips on the local area. The room and adjoining outside area are super private. It feels like you’re renting the entire property. There is also a private lounge room seperate from the main house with a fold out couch option and the outside areas have so many lounging options plus jacuzzi & sauna! The weather was too hot to use a sauna but the jacuzzi was wonderful and the night time lighting creates a magical ambiance. The room also comes with a mini fridge which was wonderful to come home to cold drinks. Mary has thought of everything. Highly recommend 👍👍

Perfect spot to stay while checking out the Ojai area. Neighborhood was great, property was wonderful and relaxing. Donkeys were great! Mary was wonderful, let us know about some great local spots. Would definitely stay again if in the area!

Beautiful property with several outdoor areas in which to hang. Mary was a warm host and the donkeys (and puppy Bonkers) were charming. So much to do in the area- walks, beach, kayaking- and the Oak Creek Winery nearby is now one of my favorites for grounds and wine. As Mary notes in the description, it's in a ranchy space so there are vestiges of the natural world around, but the bath and bedrooms are clean and comfortable. A unique and wonderful space!

Host is down to earth and just as described - can be as present or discrete as you wish. 2 rooms with private bath and access to living room and kitchen. Serene outdoor space under the Oak trees, babbling brook/ fountain. Oak View is about 5 miles away from Ojai towards Ventura. The donkeys are gentle and friendly. Less polished then Ojai accommodations but more interesting and Ojai bike trail opens up at end of cul de sac.

Splendid -- better than the photos Wonderful private location -- short hop to Ojai and other sights But this is the sort of VRBO that you could rent and just stay there without doing any other sight seeing Mary has done wonderful job of adding a magic touch to the rental unit I highly recommend this VRBO rental

We loved our stay at Mary’s! Everything was as described. The donkeys were so sweet! Waking up and seeing them was so fun. And Bonkers the dog is so amazing - so well behaved! The location and setup is so dreamy - you see what seems like a regular house and then you get in the backyard and this whole oasis unfolds :) We’d go back to Mary’s place for sure! Thank you for an amazing stay.
