Summary: Everything about our stay was amazing- the location and setting, the facilities (house, fireplace, tub, decks, parking, driveway), Sespe hounds (7 lovely dogs), warm and welcoming hosts. This is one of the best vacations we’ve had. All of us from 27-65 agreed on that.

Summary: We had a wonderful introduction to Carol's property. She and the dogs greeted is with enthusiasm and open arms. The view is spectacular and the quiet was perfect for the experience we were looking for. Carol and Doc were attentive and responsive to our needs. The decor of the place is so well curated. We loved having the dogs around and they are sos sweet. There is plenty of hiking around. There is a wonderful hot tub to use and star gaze from at night. The fire pit is perfect for those cold nights outside.We had an issue with the toilet and shower backing up which they addressed immediately. We wanted to cook most of our time there, but we arrived with a dirty refrigerator and pots/pans that we had to wash before using. The cabinets could have also been cleaned. That was a bit disappointing. Carol said she would speak to the cleaners for next time.Overall it was a good experience.

Summary: From the time I booked the home to check out, Carol was a gem. The information was very clear. There were no surprises. All was very easy. There is something for everyone: games, tv, soaking tub, swimming hole, hiking, bird watching, lounging, cooking, sunbathing, and the campfire ring. The night sky was magnifi

Summary: The property owner was amazing. Clean with every amenity you need. The best part was the peaceful property and the care the owner puts into every aspect of your stay.

Summary: My wife and I love this place . . . a return visit for us! Picture-perfect location, beautiful home, hospitable hosts, so much to do for those who love the outdoors. Looking forward to staying there again!

Summary: My wife and I just had our favorite vacation together at this property! It offers perfect views, beautiful scenery all around, and so many hiking trails nearby. The house is very well-maintained, clean, and stocked with everything you might possibly need. Our hosts Carol & Doc were so gracious and hospitable. They made sure all of our needs were met, responded quickly to questions we had, and were simply great people to get to know a bit. If you love the wilderness but don't want to camp, then this is the best place you can stay. We will be back for sure!

Summary: Carol and Doc have built a great place out in the mountains of Ojai. It's everything seen in their profile plus more. I highly recommend this place a visit and will likely be trying to get back there with my partner.
Chandler H. Apr 24, 2023 03:00:31 AM
Summary: Doc and Carol have provided the perfect place to unwind and recharge. The property is absolutely beautiful nestled into the mountains about 20 minuets outside of Ojai. A big perk of the property are the amazing dogs that keep you company throughout your stay. It was the best place to get away from it all.

Summary: This is the place for you if you are looking for a wilderness retreat away from it all without missing any of the comforts of home! We felt worlds away, but were within easy reach of Ojai town and LA. We enjoyed the solitude and silence of this place immensely. We came here to have a few days of total peace and quiet as well as to have dark skies to view the Perseids meteor shower. Night skygazing here was SO good and the set up for it is perfect - wide open clear sky and there are many comfortable reclining chairs and two different decks to view from. The entire experience was so amazing - the house, the outdoors area, the surroundings, and the hosts!!! We particularly loved the very comfortable bed, the fully stocked kitchen, the very cool evaporative cooling system, and the outdoor tub and fire pit. Carol and Doc have thought of everything - they even provide fire starter paper and firewood if you need it. Carol's communication, directions, and check-in process were so easy and clear. Carol, thank you for the warm welcome from you and your sweet dogs - we loved meeting you!!! Carol and Doc have put so much love into this property and the guest experience. They told us to reach out if we needed anything and they meant it - we realized upon arrival that we forgot a toothbrush - and they brought an extra up from their house right away (otherwise we would have had to drive all the way back to Ojai town the next day). Now that's service - so amazing! They are such kind people and genuinely care about you having a wonderful experience. One thing to note - the property is solar-powered - and you'll still have all the good stuff (a/c, heat, washer/dryer, etc) but there are a few items you won't find or be able to use here because they will totally overwhelm the power system - that is, hair dryer, toaster, and electric kettle. This wasn't an issue for us at all, but just something to be aware of expectations-wise. We used a kettle on the oven to heat water for coffee, grilled toast on the stovetop, and let my hair air dry in the very warm, low-humidity air out in this magical wilderness :) Staying here is a completely rejuvenating experience for those seeking peace/quiet/rest without having to rough it. We will definitely be back. Thanks again, Carol and Doc, for a wonderful stay and for sharing your beautiful home and property with us!

Summary: Let me start off by saying that my husband and I are always searching for the most distinctive experiences when we travel. We like to drink in the local cultures and natural environments that make each place unique. Resort travel is shiny and pampering but it doesn't represent the true local experience and lifestyle. We love to find the hidden gems that make us feel like we've found something that no one else knows about. The Sespe Retreat met all of our expectations and then some! The amazing adventure starts with the breathtaking ride up the mountain. It sets the vibe through 15 miles of serene landscapes, different at every turn. It's about a 30 minute drive into town but we didn't want it to be any shorter. A quicker trip back to "civilization" would steal away some of the magic of the Sespe Retreat. This property was immaculate! The detail and care that has been put into this property well exceeds the photos. Carol, Doc and the Sespe hounds were wonderful hosts. Carol stayed in contact via text during our stay and she or Doc were instantly available to answer questions or tend to issues. They are just down the hill and across the stream. Close enough to be available in 5 minutes if you need them, but far enough away to give you all the privacy that you would like. The property is 100% green, yet it doesn't restrict you from enjoying all of the comforts of home but appliances with internal heating elements such as toasters & coffee makers tax the solar system. Carol did communicate this in advance so we were well prepared! There is a pour over coffee pot which we did use and it made a good cup of coffee, but if you are a coffee junkie like us, stop in town at Starbucks and grab a box of joe! Worked perfectly!:) The view is vast and glorious! 360 degrees of ever-changing mountains that make you feel like you've discovered a best kept secret. We loved our daily visits with the Sespe hounds! They are energetic yet gentle and entertaining. If you are looking for a retreat to relax, breathe, and reconnect with nature and one another, this is the perfect place. We did not want to leave. We don't usually return to the same spot twice but we loved it so much that we are considering making the Sespe Retreat an annual event. Thank you Carol, Doc & The Sespe hounds for your gracious hospitality! You have something extra special on your mountain and we are so thankful that you are willing to share it with others. Until the next time. Mary & Roger.
