Book a hotel near Lake Casitas Recreation Area, California

"We loved our stay at the Cliff House Inn! The setting is spectacular with great ocean views! Unfortunately, in the standard ocean view rooms, your balcony is a shared walkway, so guests may pass by your room when your window is wide open. I think there are 2 suites where the balcony is more Private as they are located at the end of the walkway, and at a right angle. If you are looking for a state of the art hotel, this isn’t it. The rooms are a little worn from wear. But that’s not important to us, and they were clean. The included breakfast is so so. Coffee was weak, baked breakfast coffee cake was undercooked. There were hard boiled eggs and make your own toast or bagels. However, dinner at the Shoals restaurant was divine!! You must eat here! I had a large delicious pork chop with perfectly cooked spinach, green beans and carrots on a bed of mashed potatoes. My husband had pesto fettuccine with chicken. Also perfectly cooked! Both of our Meals were served hot and with warm bread and butter on the side. I made sure to send compliments to chef Reyno. Our server Billie Ray was friendly and efficient, and her assistant Heladio made sure my husband’s water glass stayed filled. The ambience is wonderful with linen table cloths and napkins, and of course a view. You can also sit outside, which some did, but it was too cold for me! We spent some time sitting outside on the lawn chairs, reading and enjoying the view. There is a small beach access about 5 minutes away. "

"We had the most wonderful time! The guesthouse is incredibly spacious and so tastefully done. Not only was everything so aesthetically pleasing, but the room was really comfortable. The outdoor space is nothing short of magical. The guesthouse has a private pool and jacuzzi and an outdoor area with a fireplace. We enjoyed the room and the beautiful outdoor space so much. Kevin and Jen went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. They are incredible hosts and we can't wait to be back!!"

"This place is fantastic! Truly a hidden gem. The property has a special charm and the staff are friendly and helpful. It has a great location with convenient walking distance to downtown Ojai. If you’re looking for a quaint, non-corporate type hotel that has everything you need, look no further! "

"Beautiful place in the hills "

"Mimi could not possibly have been any kinder or more attentive to us. We had the opportunity to meet and share information. Upon arrival, we were gifted delicious treats, wonderful teas and quality coffee, which obviously showed care. The massive amount of rain held us inside one day however there was multiple books, new games and appropriate toys for all the guests. We had a fantastic time exploring the farm, feeding the animals, and picking fruit. The house was immaculately clean and full of everything we needed for a successful stay. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the rest of the house very comfortable with 2 full bathrooms and 3 large bedrooms, one of which is a suite. The surrounding areas-mountains and towns are very beautiful and relaxing. We are already scheduling to go back to Mimi’s farmhouse!"

"We enjoyed our stay. The unit was very accommodating and the grounds are lovely. The neighborhood is very quiet and an easy commute to stores, restaurants, and the downtown Ojai area."
