About this property
Relaxing views, next door to the trail. Views, Sauna, jacuzzi, pool & donkeys.
Two rooms with private entrance, yard, patio sauna, jacuzzi and pool all private with views out to the canyon. Two outdoor living areas and a bike trail that goes all the way to the beach, I offer to rent two electric bikes, $20 each. I appreciate a heads up on your arrival time.
The bedroom sleeps three. Separate T.V. Room can accommodate 2 more.
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.
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.
