Our Gardens have never looked so good.  Thanks to our fabulous Gardener Daniel, the efforts of our Innkeepers and the SPECTACULAR spring we’ve had, our gardens have flourished.

Our Front porch and garden is a perfect place to lay back on chaise, read a book, people watch and enjoy the soothing sound of the fountain.  It’s a great place to hide yourself  behind the veil of roses and flowers and still be part of the Ojai activities.

The main garden off of the breakfast veranda has a beautiful, large, green lawn, a pond, a gazebo flanked by vines and flowers, hidden seating areas and a breakfast nook.  It’s perfect for so many activities like crocket, reading, enjoying your home cooked breakfast, having a picnic, lounging, meditating, inviting friends to enjoy tea or simply kicking back and enjoying the view of the mountains.  We’ve had so many great events in this garden, including weddings, yoga sessions, Women’s Socials, Tuscan dinners, family reunions, outdoor cooking classes, to name a few.  This year the garden is flourishing with beautiful flowers, tall trees and hundreds of frogs in the pond.

You’ll often get a taste of our organic herbs & vegetables from our Herb & Vegetable Garden.  Depending on what we’re serving for Breakfast or Wine & Cheese, you might sample fresh picked Basil, parsley, Dill, Sage, Oregano, Rosemary, Kale, Strawberries, Squash, Tomatoes and so much more.  We’re fortunate to have this great Ojai weather and be able to grow food and share it, year round.

If you’re staying in the Provence Cottage, you’ll get to enjoy your own private garden with beautiful flowers, a fountain, lounge chairs and a breakfast table, all shaded by our grand Mulberry tree.  It’s the perfect garden for peace, quiet, & privacy.  If you don’t need a garden of your own but would enjoy having views of the gardens and the mountains, you might enjoy staying in the Garden View Room or Lavender Garden Room with private terraces or the Tree House Room with 180 degree view of the gardens and mountains!

If you haven’t seen our gardens, come visit and we’ll be happy to give you a tour!  You can enjoy more pictures of our garden in our photo gallery.

Katie and Brock were happily married on the 10th outdoors in the gardens.

The rain in Ojai last Saturday was like a light Tropical storm passing thru the Valley. But that did not put a damper on the beautiful wedding of Katie Melech and Brock Cohen….. Brock held the umberella for his bride as they sat together at the “Sweetheart” table enjoying a fabulous meal by The Catering Connection. Some say rain on your wedding day is good luck! They seem to have all the luck they need and continued to dance thru the nite….

After checking in to their room with the Treat Her Right

package with Beautiful Fresh Flowers from Curly Willow,

chocolates and a bottle of champagne….David proposed

to Leslie and she said “Yes” much to the delight of all!

The next morning they enjoyed a home cooked breakfast

under the arbor in our beautiful garden.
