About this house rental
Also known as the historic Pratt House, Casa Barranca is a private, 14 acre estate set above the Ojai Valley with panoramic mountain views, over 7,000 square feet of indoor living space, a resort-style pool with jacuzzi and cold plunge, ping pong, yoga studio, 2 person Sunlighten Sauna, outdoor fitness amenities and expansive indoor-outdoor gathering areas designed for relaxation, restoration, and connection.
From the home, guests can walk directly through orchards and gardens onto the Pratt Trail, offering immediate access to Ojai’s mountain hiking network and some of the region’s most scenic ridge and valley views. Access also leads to the main trailhead where folks can walk to downtown Ojai.
The Pratt House is an amazing location for family vacations, gatherings with friends or small private wellness retreats. Today, in keeping with the humble and pure ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as the owners dedication to wellness and environmentalism, the Pratt House and it's estate are powered by solar electricity, draw their water from artesian springs and are surrounded by a small organic olive, orange and avocado orchard and gardens which are farmed on sustainable, permaculture principles. All the water in the home goes through a whole house water system, and there is an RO system for filtered drining water. We use natural cleaning products, organic linen and cotton bedding and towels, and all stainless steel pans. Our pool features and ozonated system that sanitizes with H202.
Originally designed in 1909 by renowned architects Charles and Henry Greene, Casa Barranca blends timeless California architecture with the atmosphere of a secluded wellness retreat immersed in nature.
Charles and Henry Greene, the preeminent architects of the Arts and Crafts Movement, designed the Pratt House for Charles and Mary Pratt in 1909. The house, a perfect fusion of Japanese aesthetic and American practicality, sits on a ridgeline overlooking the valley of idyllic Ojai, California. The Greene and Greene architectural plans refer to the project as "The Pratt House" however the Pratts named their home and estate "Casa Barranca” referring to the seasonal river bed running through the property.
Noted as one of the Greenes' five "ultimate bungalows," the Pratt House embraces the Arts and Crafts ideal by creating an open and elegant living space without resorting to excessive decorative detail. Comprised of two wings unified by a central living room/entrance way, the house boasts five large bedrooms, six fireplaces, four bathrooms, three sleeping porches, an eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, and front, rear and upper patios.
Architectural Digest notes that in the grace of the Pratt House "...the sun translates the Greenes' structural poetry into ever-shifting patterns of light against polished wood. At night... the silhouette of live oaks is framed against the Milky way. A closer approximation to Shangri-La is hard to imagine."
For Monday holidays, we have a 3 night minimum including NYE. Thanksgiving and Christmas are 4 night minimum's.

I can’t say enough about this place. It is absolutely amazing. The house is stunning, classic Arts and Crafts, spacious and welcoming. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need in large quantities. I brought my own knives but didn’t need them as the ones provided were all sharp. Fresh flowers everywhere, crisp sheets, lovely towels. The outside grounds were equally perfect with stunning views of the mountains over the Barranca, separate pool area, meditation platforms, endless seating, outdoor deck dining and eating seating and a lovely Koi pond. The manager, Eliza, was always available and responsive by email and the caretaker, Hayden, whom I can’t thank enough, always answered his phone immediately. We were 8 in a family group ranging from 15-80 and no one wanted to leave.

It would be hard to summarize the amount of compliments I would like to praise this special property. We felt lucky to be able to stay at this beautiful home - warm lighting, soft sheets, endless places to sit and gather... If you love crafts houses, you will be pinching yourself. If you love meditation and yoga, and walking through a private garden, you will be more than pleased. A true retreat and also somehow fun for kids - many rooms to explore and endless grounds to run. We had a fun Easter Egg hunt on the lawn, coffee on the meditation platform, badminton through the days, gentle sleep, lovely showers, and easy hikes. The kids loved feeding the koi and I loved napping under the great California oaks, with their plentiful shade and shadows. Thank you also for the complimentary wine, a family owned vineyard! The location is excellent too, you would never know there were any people around when you are on premises, and yet town is only a mile or so away. This is truly a gem.
