Lavender Inn: We selected the Lavender Inn after reading very good reviews. At our destination we found the Lavender Inn to be unsatisfactory. The room was very small and dingy, paint chipping off the walls, plus other issues to numerous to mention. The bathroom also had issues, not one place to store hygiene products. Flushing the toilet at night would... More

We try our best to help our guests have a memorable experience, so we take reviews seriously - good and bad. I'd like to address some of your comments. We are continuously painting and... More

Had an absolute blast staying at the Lavender Inn! The B&B is just beautiful and everything you need for a romantic getaway. We stayed in the cottage and it was so wonderful. We had our own private garden where we had wine & cheese & crackers. Vanessa was so sweet and made the best organic locally grown healthy breakfast. There... More

Must admit, B&Bs are not my first choice. However I am married so I compromise. This is definitely one of the better ones we have stayed at. Nice rooms, good breakfast and perfect location to see Ojai.

I stayed in the Lavender Room and couldn't have been happier!!! I arrived very stressed on Thursday evening. Got off work later than I expected, but Erin had emailed me that late check-in would be fine which took a lot of the pressure off. The place is absolutely beautiful!!! My first big love was the frogs - they made me... More

We spent two weekend nights at the Lavender Inn half way through a two week stay in Southern California. We had high expectations and were not disappointed. This is a beautiful property both internally and externally and the garden is quite simply very special. We were fortunate to have two mornings where we could take breakfast outside and enjoy the...

The Lavender Inn has a garden filled with colors and textures, a joy to look at and wander in. The Inn is tastefully decorated with beautiful colors and comfortable and well-maintained furniture. They have a covered wooden deck that is perfect for their complimentary wine and cheese or for breakfast time. Their breakfasts are fabulous. We had eggs over sauteed... More

This lovely set of cottages is delightful! The staff made us feel so welcomed from the moment of our arrival. I had dietary special needs and they went out of their way to accommodate me, even without my request. I love the location as there is no need to rent a car - located right in downtown Ojai so every... More

Loved my stay!!! The Lavendar Inn doesn't just cater to couples, I just turned 50 and came for a great weekend with a gal pal, on a girls weekend. The staff was so friendly, that we felt we made new friends in our short stay. The breakfast was truly old school B&B...not just a 'continental breakfast' with store bought bagels... More

My husband & I celebrated our anniversary at this beautiful B & B. We brought our six month old son with us. The cottage gave us enough privacy that we didn't need to worry about disturbing other guests. We even had our own private patio for sipping champagne and enjoying the perfect Ojai weather. The entire property is perfection!! Every... More
