“A converted 1950s motel offering rustic-chic accommodation on the outskirts of the small town of Ojai. Rooms have a cabin feel with plenty of wood, front porches and works by local artists. A laid back bar has a casual communal feel while the swimming pool and free bikes are a real plus.”

Ojai Rancho Inn
This former 1950s roadside motel is now a characterful inn by hip hoteliers Shelter Social Club. It embodies the bohemian brand of barefoot luxury that has made Ojai prime weekend mini-break territory for world-weary Los Angelenos.
