About this house rental
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.

Not fancy but I don't need fancy. Mary is a sweetheart of a host. Nice lady. Just need a place to leave my stuff, a bed and a place to shower. Mission accomplished.

Mary had us feel like home. Her dog AND donkeys were an invaluable part of our stay

This is a cool property with lots of potential and the host was kind and talkative. It has the amenities one would desire, but was not fully functional and could use a lot more upkeep.This is a shared space with the host. The kitchen is accessible to you but the host lives at the property. You have private areas to use, but the host may enter the area to feed the donkeys.No dogs are allowed, but we have a service animal which is always allowed. There was no problem with this except she got fleas from presumably the donkeys. The host has a dog but it is not very well behaved and will jump all over you.The place was not clean like the pictures. It had tools and stored items all around the property, inside and out. It didn’t seem like the host had it “ready” for us at all. The hot tub water had algae growing in it and needed cleaning. The pool was unusable due to how dirty the water was. The sauna turned on and after it heated it stopped working. Turns out it tripped a breaker on a power strip. I don’t have enough space to say how dangerously I think this place is wired. Never should you plug a sauna into a series of extension cords and then into an unrated power strip. I’m amazed the place didn’t have a fire yet quite frankly.The sleeping space was littered with cobwebs and most of the overhead lighting either didn’t have bulbs or didn’t work. It was very hard to see in there with such little light. The bathroom was growing mold inside the worn out cabinet
