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. Welcome to The Nest Other things to note I live on opposite side of property, very private space. I provide clean drinking water(reverse osmosis) and coffee. I provide shampoo and conditioner.i live on opposite side of property. Due to the area can be dusty but we try to keep up.

Everything about this place was heaven for me and my teenage kids - the host is delightful as are her dog and donkeys. The place is quaint, comfortable and peaceful and I wish we had stayed longer as there was so much more we would have liked to explore.
This rental provides an oasis within oak view. It was truly a lovely experience & I can’t wait to go back! The host, Mary, was such a helpful & easy going person. I truly only have good things to say about our stay here!
This place is magical! Totally cozy, beautiful outdoor space and of course, the donkeys! I was here visiting from WI and Ojai is one of my favorite places to visit. Mary and her dog Bonkers are amazing hosts! I would come back anytime!!
We had a lovely stay here overall! The outdoor space is truly the highlight. The patio and yard are beautiful and we especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and sauna after hiking nearby.
The space itself is as described, with a shared kitchen that was easy enough to use during our stay. One thing future guests may want to keep in mind is that the bedroom features a twin and double bed, so it might feel a bit tight depending on what you’re used to.
The host is very attentive and her dog Bonkers is the best! At times, communication and check-ins were more frequent than we personally prefer, but others may appreciate that level of involvement.
Overall, a pleasant stay with standout outdoor amenities!
If you appreciate a rustic country feel and outdoor living, with the company of 2 very friendly donkeys who love snacks and pets, and an adorable little spunky dog, then this is the perfect spot for you. During the sunny mornings we had a great time in the hot tub and sauna followed by a cold plunge into the pool. A lovely, relaxed and casual atmosphere with a scenic trail for peaceful evening walks. Mary was a great host, very sweet and accommodating. We definitely hope to return again.
Perfect spot to stay while checking out the Ojai area. Neighborhood was great, property was wonderful and relaxing. Donkeys were great! Mary was wonderful, let us know about some great local spots. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
Mary was a wonderful host! Good communication, and very helpful. I was here to record a song, and had some friends visiting me after. It was a magical little sanctuary for us girls to hang out and each have our own bed. Mary has put so much love into this space. Everywhere you turn there is a touch of magic and whimsy. High vibes. Plus a great trail to walk and lots of animal medicine. The donkeys were so sweet, and there are lots of beautiful and easy to get to resteraunts and shopping nearby. I really loved the hot tub and sauna! And I look forward to coming back again if I visit Ojai!

Fantastic serene unique home with magical gardens, crystals, sauna, hot tub, bohemian hangout, overlooking the canyon, complete with 2 pet donkeys, fun dog, direct access to Ojai trail. Fun for families with teens and laid back people up for an experience.
Our stay was great! Mary was welcoming and offered great suggestions for places to eat and things to check out. So grateful for a couple of days to unplug after the holidays.
Splendid -- better than the photos
Wonderful private location -- short hop to Ojai and other sights
But this is the sort of VRBO that you could rent and just stay there without doing any other sight seeing
Mary has done wonderful job of adding a magic touch to the rental unit
I highly recommend this VRBO rental
We had a nice 2 night stay, the donkeys were great, location was nice, being right next to the bike/walking trail, Mary is an accommodating host, even though the decks were a little precarious for our 2 year old grandson, he was kept entertained by the donkeys and all the rocks and fountains.

2 donkeys that we enjoyed feeding and petting and a playful puppy.We really gad a great time there!
We loved our stay at Mary’s! Everything was as described. The donkeys were so sweet! Waking up and seeing them was so fun. And Bonkers the dog is so amazing - so well behaved! The location and setup is so dreamy - you see what seems like a regular house and then you get in the backyard and this whole oasis unfolds :) We’d go back to Mary’s place for sure! Thank you for an amazing stay.
Beautiful property with several outdoor areas in which to hang. Mary was a warm host and the donkeys (and puppy Bonkers) were charming. So much to do in the area- walks, beach, kayaking- and the Oak Creek Winery nearby is now one of my favorites for grounds and wine. As Mary notes in the description, it's in a ranchy space so there are vestiges of the natural world around, but the bath and bedrooms are clean and comfortable. A unique and wonderful space!
Host is down to earth and just as described - can be as present or discrete as you wish. 2 rooms with private bath and access to living room and kitchen. Serene outdoor space under the Oak trees, babbling brook/ fountain. Oak View is about 5 miles away from Ojai towards Ventura. The donkeys are gentle and friendly. Less polished then Ojai accommodations but more interesting and Ojai bike trail opens up at end of cul de sac.
