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.
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 have electric bikes ($10 each) for the 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.
Welcome to The Nest
Other things to note I live on opposite side of property, very private space.

I absolutely loved staying here. The host was lovely and I loved chatting with her. She was even kind enough to let me meet her dog. I loved the sounds of this spot. You can hear birds chirping in the distance, and water from a flountain trickling by. It was lovely and I definitely reccommend!!!

Mary was a wonderful host! Good communication, and very helpful. I was here to record a song, and had some friends visiting me after. It was a magical little sanctuary for us girls to hang out and each have our own bed. Mary has put so much love into this space. Everywhere you turn there is a touch of magic and whimsy. High vibes. Plus a great trail to walk and lots of animal medicine. The donkeys were so sweet, and there are lots of beautiful and easy to get to resteraunts and shopping nearby. I really loved the hot tub and sauna! And I look forward to coming back again if I visit Ojai!

If you appreciate a rustic country feel and outdoor living, with the company of 2 very friendly donkeys who love snacks and pets, and an adorable little spunky dog, then this is the perfect spot for you. During the sunny mornings we had a great time in the hot tub and sauna followed by a cold plunge into the pool. A lovely, relaxed and casual atmosphere with a scenic trail for peaceful evening walks. Mary was a great host, very sweet and accommodating. We definitely hope to return again.

Peaceful retreat

We stayed here with our three year old and he absolutely loved it...feeding the donkeys, plunging in the cold pool, and soaking in the hot tub. The trail was great for a morning walk and plenty to do/see nearby. When he's older we would bring our bikes for sure.
