Enjoy easy access to popular shops and restaurants from this charming place to stay. Friendly and super user friendly, this space is appointed with taste and convenience. Enjoy great views of the garden and a quiet deck to hang out and drink your morning coffee, write in your journal or snack with friends.
The space
The space is cozy and warm and inviting you have a separate entrance in your own porch with area to sit or have food or write ir entertain. I don’t allow gas except for short periods of time and no one of course after 10 PM there is the occasional meal that I like to share which I would leave for you and there is a toaster, refrigerator, coffee, maker, and a microwave. There’s plenty of storage for clothes and hanging things up and also an open filing cabinet for you as you’re working. The space is also available to be rented on a daily basis but for a minimum of 30 days should you need an office downtown? This is appropriate. I do have a friendly dog however, occasionally he’s barking outside and the door that I use for your entrance is also something that accommodates his coming and going at timeswere two blocks from downtown and everything that Ojai has to offer. There is a shared bathroom with the owner myself and an area for you to put your own things as well. We were just need to coordinate use and that’s easy enough with the text or notes.

SPECIAL NOTE: Palisades/Malibu friends: We have been in your shoes more than one time. Message me if you need a spot starting middle April. A delightful furnished haven for you and a loved one, or great transitional housing this island-flavored, art-filled artists' nook is the perfect walkable Ojai spot. SPLEASE NOTE: FOR MANY YEARS, WE HAVE ONLY RENTED THIS SPACE OUT BY THE MONTH OR TWO/THREE/MORE. This is the minimum amount of time that we can do this, per local rules.
The space
A delightful haven for you and a loved one (or overflow for holiday guests), this island-flavored artists' nook is a perfect hideaway. Sink into the generous clawfoot tub (shower too), light the candles and sip a glass of wine. Cook a romantic alfresco meal in the kitchen/dining room. The oversized log bed (queen) begs to be stretched out in with a good book. We are a 100% Smoke-free property as well. All the fun and ease of living in beautiful downtown Ojai, sans responsibilities!
Steps from the Farmers Market, all downtown shops and Italian fine or casual dining, Chinese, sushi, Thai, Mexican, sandwiches, old and new-style American food, Rainbow Bridge (healthy groceries and ready-made food if you don't feel like using the kitchen), Close to several local watering holes, Sushi and tequila bars, plus The Vine and Casa Barrancas' tasting room)....you name it, and you can get to it in a two-minute walk.
Ojai was recently featured in Vogue as a wonderful Shangri-La as well.
Quiet street, family neighborhood, close to local hiking trails, tennis courts (home to the famous 100+ year old "The Ojai" tennis tournament, or just bring your racquets and have fun) Golfer? Hop on the Ojai Trolley for $0.50! We are minutes from Soule Park. Yoga enthusiasts will delight in making the one-minute walk to the famous Lulu Bandhas' studio, just down the street.
Easy street parking, sunny small fenced yard. There is one very sweet dog that is in his own section of the yard separated from the studio.
Need something special? Please let us know in advance and we will try and help you. See something you like? Ask, it may be for sale!
Our guests are blessed to be in the middle of downtown Ojai - Here are a few highlights: Check out "A Taste Of Ojai" on Vimeo
We see our guests from time to time if we are home, so our interaction is basically on the guests' terms :)
We are in the middle of EVERYTHING! We are literally the middle of all the downtown maps (sometimes I have to open them extra-wide to find our street) and we have very friendly neighbors.
The Ojai Trolley ($1) has two stops within a block from the house and the Gold Coast Vista bus ($1.75 for adults) stops two blocks away, in case you would like to go to/from Ventura or the train station there.
Enjoy yourselves! Relax, park the car and leave it there for your whole stay! Let us know if you have any questions!
Kitchen, own bath, short walk to downtown, or lounge around on your own.
We enjoy visiting but respect your privacy :) There are animals on the property (small dog, lazy kitty and crazy kitty, and the chickens who will share eggs with you & eat your food scraps!) DOG OWNERS; your dog needs to get along with everyone. We work from home and while barking is part of life, it needs to be managed. Please scoop your poops and bag em and put them in the trash. Reactive/strong prey drive dogs not suggested as we have chickens and cats.
Downtown Ojai is a great place to live and we have a friendly, family oriented, creative neighborhood.
We are steps from both the Ojai Trolley and the Gold Coast Bus (and you can transfer from one to the other if you ask for a transfer ticket) as well as taxis, etc. Or rent bikes from the Mob shop!

Things to be aware of: We live on a private road that is paved then turns to road base about 2/10 a mile from our place. Driving 10 miles an hour helps keep the dust down. The road is dark at night as there are no street lights. Our concrete driveway is very steep and the double space parking area down at the guesthouse is level but some low seated automobiles may scrape the pavement as you back into the parking spaces. If you need to avoid this issue, you are welcome to park in the areas to each side of our home. You will see them from the guesthouse. The walk on our driveway is steep to get to these spaces.
Guest access
The entire Guest cottage is yours and includes a lovely private patio area that faces the valley and overlooks the orange grove and mountains. The views are truly beautiful. There is a patio table and 4 chairs. There is gas grill for your use in front of the guest cottage as well. There is a large screen TV connected to the internet through Apple TV or Amazon Prime but we do not have any cable service. We also have a DVD player. The cottage has many board games, puzzles, some books, some children's toys, DVD's, 2 yoga mats and a fully equipped picnic basket. Two folding chairs are located in the laundry room. There are two folding lounge chaises available upon request (these must stay at the guest cottage). Beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, back packs and boogie boards are available upon request for outings to the beach, lake or hiking. Please ask for these in advance.
Other things to note
We live next to California national forest so be prepared to see and hear wildlife. It is wonderful and adds to your experience here. Bird lovers will be in heaven here with over 30 species of birds nesting in our oak trees. It is common to see deer, squirrels, raccoons, opossum, chipmunks, rabbits, hawks, falcons, and lizards throughout the property and surrounding area. You may hear coyotes at night. It is rare but you may also see bobcats, lynx, bears, fox, frogs, toads, snakes, owls, and roadrunners. Please keep the screen doors shut when going in and out of the guest cottage so critters and bugs do not get inside. Take food inside after you are done eating on the patio so it does not attract animals.
Ventura County only allows 4 people, INCLUDING INFANTS AND CHILDREN to stay overnight in our cottage. If you arrive with more than 4 people, you will need to find another place to stay for the extra people in your group.
Parties are not allowed but respectful gatherings are allowed of up to no more than 10 people and must end at 10pm.
We do not allow pets. We have a pet dander allergy and respectfully ask all guests not to allow animals in the cottage.
Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am. Additional guests are not allowed during these hours.
We live at the end of a country road called Tower Drive. It is paved except for the last 2/10th of a mile which is road base and gravel and may be uneven at times during the rainy season. We take care of the road and it is well maintained. We are Prius owners and can easily navigate on the road daily. It is best to drive slowly (10 miles an hour or less) so you do not kick up any dust during the dry season.
Our driveway is very steep but levels out at the parking area in front of the guest cottage. If you have a low seated car like a Prius, your car will scrape. You can park up by our home instead if you like. Please let us know ahead of time so we can make sure to have it available for you.
Make sure to follow the directions we send you to get to the guest cottage. Mapping programs will send you down an unimproved farm road that does not reach our home accurately. You need to turn onto Tower Drive directly across from Boccali's Restaurant outdoor dining area. Our home and guest cottage are the last property on the road.
Our property faces a citrus grove and from time to time there will be workers actively working in the grove which may create noise. During the winter on the rare occasion when it freezes, the citrus farmer will turn on the wind fans to keep the temperatures from injuring their fruit. We do not own this property and are not allowed to walk into the grove.
There is no extra parking on our road. You will need to park up on the driveway in front of the guest cottage (large enough for 2 cars side by side). There is extra parking up at our home but you will need to ask permission from us before parking there. We use this area for our friends and visitors.

I hope I have thought of everything to make your stay luxurious.
You will have access to a shared washer and dryer with unscented plant-based laundry soap provided. Beach towels and boogie boards are also provided to enjoy the beach just 20 mins away. You will have your own parking space and access to electric charging for an additional fee.
Guest access

There are small private units on the property with long-term tenants. They have their own entrance, parking spot, and their own yard, and have no access to your private yard. Everything pictured in the listing is completely private to you. If they are rented, chances are you will not run into them.
Other things to note
My name is Rikka, I was born and raised in the Ojai Valley and I love this town. Since I have lived here all my life, I have gathered all of the most epic adventures and experiences Ojai has to offer. If you book your stay here, I will send you all of my insider recommendations of little-known music venues, restaurants, favorite dishes, most epic hikes, and secret hot springs and swimming holes.
This neighborhood is sweet. It sits above the valley, providing beautiful sunset and mountain views. You'll be a short walk away from the Besant Meadow trail where you can hike up to the peak and overlooking the valley at sunset, or continue hiking over the peak into the valley where you can stop on a park bench and next to the pond that overlooks the famous Topa Topa mountains.
This home is located in the Ojai Valley just a 5-minute drive from Vons. The famous Ojai bike trail is just a few blocks away. You can bring/rent bikes or walk all the way to town. You can also enjoy a 15-minute walk to Starbucks, Air Pizza, Rite Aid, and more.
I hope you consider us for your stay in Ojai. I strive to create a divine experience for my guests and look forward to welcoming you.

Our property is located in the magical East End of Ojai amidst avocado and orange groves. The guest cottage is a separate home and is situated under a canopy of mature trees which offers privacy for our guests.
Nestled in a picturesque valley, Ojai is renowned for its' idyllic beauty and solitude. It has long drawn seekers, including the Indian sage Jiddu Krishnamurti and John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
The space
The private cottage is a very cozy place to call home. We call it the Honey House and it is ideal for guests looking for a relaxed getaway from the hustle and bustle. We welcome people from all walks of life.
Set under a canopy of mature tall trees with green plants everywhere. The fully shaded cottage is nicely furnished with wood furniture and a comfortable queen size bed with high quality linen and pillows. The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything to make you feel at home. We also provide a good selection of teas and coffee.
The early mornings, evenings and nights are remarkably quiet due to the East End being sparsely populated. At night there isn't a sound to be heard except the odd owl hooting and crickets. There is a small private preschool nearby and the sounds of happy young children can sometimes be heard during the day, and that would only be weekdays.
Although we love animals (we have 2 dogs and a cat of our own) we do not allow animals in or around the guest house.
If you are coming from the big city you will no doubt be impressed by the crisp clean cool mountain air that comes in every night and lingers through the early morning. These are the best times to take a stroll along the orange and avocado grove streets that surround the property.
We as your hosts have worked in the hotel services field and you can count on the cottage to be detail cleaned and well appointed with all the amenities to make you feel right at home.
The Honey House is a very special and cozy place.
Ideal for singles and couples, or if you are travelling with a friend we have a nice pull out futon that seconds as a comfy bed.
Nearby is the Ojai Turtle Conservancy, Thacher School, Beatrice Wood Pottery Studio, the oft missed but spectacular Meher Mount with the most amazing views of Ventura County and of course Meditation Mount, which is the ultimate place to watch the sunset and is only a 5 minute drive from our property.
Guest access
Fast Wi-Fi and access to laundry facilities are included on the property.
There is plenty of safe street parking with no limitations for our guests.
Bring a flashlight as there are no streetlights. Many people come to our neighborhood to stargaze or watch meteor showers.
During the day you can take a stroll on one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in the Ojai Valley. There are many hiking trails nearby if you want to have solitude and adventure.

We are just 2.4 miles from downtown Ojai. That's a five minute drive or 45 minute walk (tho we don't recommend the walk on busy Creek Road). Taxis and Ubers are few and far between but we may be able to arrange for drop-off and pick-up so you can enjoy wine tasting and other activities while in town.
Other things to note

We allow 2 pets for an additional pet fee and a third pet on a case-by-case basis. We have a pull out sofa but please let us know if that needs to be set up for you.
We are honored to be stewards of a wide variety of flora and fauna in their natural habitat here. On a good day, you will see critters of all kinds; cows, deer, ducks, herons, owls, hummingbirds and red finches, even the occasional bear, bobcat and coyote. Bees, mice and snakes are also natural residents in this part of California. If you do come across one, please be aware that they are more afraid of you than the other way around, so keep your distance if at all possible, and enjoy them from afar. Wear closed-toe shoes when walking around the Creek and surrounding land.
Please know that our water takes a while to heat-up (but it’s ok to run it for a bit longer than you're used to--as we're supplied by a natural artesian well). Thanks in advance for being respectful and gentle with all this nature.

Other things to note

Guests now have access to a washer and dryer for their use and need free of additional charge.
Tuesdays are yard and hot tub maintenance days so there will be workman on the property in the mid to late afternoon to service the hot tub and clean up the yard. They will make every effort to not disturb you. If this is bothersome to you - please let me know. Both professional are quick, personable and reliable.
The hot tub is clean, hot and amazing to sit out under the Ojai night sky! Please enjoy!
Ojai is country and with the bucolic surroundings come raccoons, coyotes and possums. There could even be a mountain lion, although I have never seen one in my neighborhood in the 8 years I have lived here. Just know you are not in a city and you will likely hear or see wildlife while you are in Ojai.

Guest House at Euterpe Farms
Welcome! We hope you enjoy your stay in this beautiful part of the world. I'm so happy to be able to share this property with people of like mind...who care about natural beauty and the creative nature of people.
We respect the local Ojai Valley rules regarding vacation rentals. There are no vacation rentals allowed in the City of Ojai. In the unincorporated area outside of town, where we are, only "home shares" are allowed. This means owner-occupied. We respect the concerns of some members of our government and community regarding unregulated vacation rentals, and ask our guests to be good representatives of the exciting new sharing economy.
Smitty West
Here’s some information and tips to help make your stay easier.
Pool Area
Enjoy one of the great experiences of Ojai….the pool at Euterpe Farms with White Ledge Peak of the Transverse Ranges at sunset! It’s full of mineral water drawn from the earth at the windmill. Very lightly treated, your skin will feel great afterwards.
We’ll show you how to use the hot tub on request! There’s an icemaker and refrigerator on the terrace under the pergola on the way to the pool
There are pool towels for you, and just let us know if you need more.
Wildlife
Euterpe Farms has a 1000’ fenced border and 180 degree view of the beautiful Ojai Land Conservancy’s Ventura River Preserve, and the two million acre Los Padres National Forest. This beautiful, diverse, and wild country is home to an amazing assortment of wildlife found nowhere else.
This is THEIR home, and WE are the visitors here on the edge of this wilderness. Be respectful of this fact and you will be rewarded with close-up view of an amazing assortment of plants and wildlife. Some of the larger animals you may see: deer, coyote, fox, snakes, bobcat, mountain lion, bear. Bird watchers will LOVE the diversity. We encourage raptors, and you may see or hear several types of owls, hawks, and other birds of pretty. There is usually a resident barn owl in the brown owl house in the tree in the middle of the circle driveway. You can see her pellets on the ground below.
With big animals come small animals, so if you like lizards, spiders, snakes and other crawlies, you’ll love it as much as the animals that eat them. If you don’t, well, you might have to live with them, because there’s 2 million acres of their home right next door! We try to maintain a no-kill philosophy on the property, and we have only seen one poisonous snake. Best advice: Enjoy the wildlife, but don’t handle it!
Vegetable Garden and Orchard
There’s a vegetable garden on the side yard along the driveway. It is protected from deer by an electric fence which can be unplugged where the extension cord meets the controller in the white bucket. All organic. Help yourself.
The orchard is seasonal, we have some type of fruit much of the year, but only a tree or two of each. Naval orange, plums, apricots, cherries, avocado, peaches, figs, blood oranges, grapefruit, white pomegranate.
Monarch Butterflies
We are a monarch butterfly sanctuary. What this really means is that we nurture and cultivate the Ojai native milkweed species, Asclepias fascicularis…the monarchs do the rest! You will see butterflies most of the spring, summer, and fall, and then they overwinter in groves along the California coast. While they enjoy nectar from the variety of wildflowers on the farm, they only lay their eggs on milkweed…so it is vital to their dwindling populations. Consider purchasing a milkweed while you are here to take home.
Norman
Speaking of animal life, our resident black lab, Norman, welcomes you as well. He is well-behaved, and may bark at you when you arrive, or at the coyotes if they come on the property, but is as kind and sweet as any canine you may meet. He loves the pool, so if you want him to join you, you won’t have any problem. If not…a firm “no” will usually let him know who’s boss.
Chickens
Our hens think they rule the roost. They kinda do. You are welcome to eggs. They lay during the warm months, usually late in the morning. We let them out sometimes in the late afternoon when Norman can watch them. There’s no rooster so they shouldn’t spoil your sleep. They are named for famous heroines and musical chicks, “Rox-Hen”, “Re-Peck-ah”, “Yolk-O Ono”, “Lay-la”, “Buffy” …you get the idea. You may change their names at your desire.
Climate and Comfort
Ojai has a reputation in California for being blazing hot, but that isn’t really true, with a few exceptionally hot spells each year. Here at the Farm, during the summer months we are rewarded with a beautiful Pacific marine layer breeze every afternoon, and the average summer daytime temperature is 90 degrees.
The winters are mild, but sometimes chilly at night. The wall furnace has a thermostat under the access panel at the bottom. You’ll be very comfortable with a setting between 1 and 3 (out of ten). There are two black marks to make these settings easier to see. If the pilot goes out, and you need help lighting it, let us know.
Sometimes during offshore wind conditions, it does get BLAZING HOT for several days at a time. If you are lucky enough to be visiting during one of these spells (we may get two or three of them per year and it can be over 100 degrees), remember that it does cool off at night, so open the windows and night and shut them in the morning as the day warms up. There is an attic fan that can add to your cross breeze, and a portable air conditioner that will take the edge off. But the best solution is a dip in the beautiful swimming pool, and planning an evening poolside until the stars come out.
That said, chances are that you will have fantastic weather, any time of the year, and use the windows to moderate your temperature, and enjoy the porch.
Indoor Living
Ojai is all about outdoors, but you’ll find a lot of indoor conveniences here: Refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, service for small groups, satellite TV with surround sound, wifi, a desk area, books….etc.
If you’re here for more than a few days, and need anything (cooking utensils, iron and iron board, guitar) just text or ask Smitty.
Plumbing
Euterpe Farms is on a green septic system. If it didn’t come out of your body or off the roll of supplied septic-safe tissue, it doesn’t go in the toilet. Trust us…we will find out!
Solar and Wind and Water
The little faucet next to the sink delivers you unlimited delicious and “world famous” Euterpe Farms windmill mineral water. This water is purchased by thousands of fans at our roadside tienda (farm stand) as their exclusive drinking water. Delicious, untreated and pure mineral water. It is raised by the power of the wind from our 1926 Aeromotor windmill from an isolated aquifer under this portion of Meiners Oaks.
The farm has a 8500 kilowatt solar generating system, making power from Ojai’s most precious asset, our sunshine.
Bees
We’re doing our part to help sustain healthy communities of honeybees here at Euterpe Farms. Their hives are very obvious off to the cliff side near the windmill. No one has been bitten that wasn’t messing around with their hives. No one HASN’T been bitten who WAS messing around with them. Your choice.
You’ll see them on the wildflowers around the Farm. Tip your hat and say thank you (or “gracie”… they are an Italian variety), and they won’t bother you.
Hikes
We recommend the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy’s beautiful Ventura River Preserve. Walk or drive the one-half mile north on Rice Rd. to the trailhead. There is a private semi-improved trail that starts out near the windmill. It’s a steep climb down steps carved into the hillside, and then you follow deer and coyote trails to the public trails…10 minutes away.
Another favorite is the Shelf Road Trail in Downtown Ojai, accessible by trailhead at the top of Signal Street.
Rose Valley Falls is about 30 minutes up the 33 in the beautiful mountains above Ojai.
There is a Forest Service Office in Ojai’s East End with lots of maps, books, and information about the Los Padres National Forest.
General Safety
Euterpe Farms is a working farm. That means there are farm tools, farm work, and multiple hazards that you won’t find in most “vacation spots.” This is the beauty and uniqueness of this special place, but please use common sense and understanding.
As a guest here in the Guest House, you are welcome to the apartment and beautiful deck, and non-exclusive use of the pool. You may walk the grounds but please respect the privacy of the occupants of the main house.
Besides being a native plant farm, any portion of the grounds and pool area may be in use for other purposes such as parties and music events, filming, music recording or rehearsal, photography, plein air painting, and private use by the owner, Smitty West. Please be respectful of the privacy and business of the other people enjoying the Farm.
The property requires regular land care, pool service, gardening, and farming that may be occurring at any time, so if you see our happy grounds manager, Urbano….say hola! Smitty also enjoys doing work around the farm, and he may offer you a tour.
Parking
Please park on the dirt area at the bottom of the stairs. Do not block the garage doors or the paved circle so delivery and service vehicles can come and go. The beautiful 450-year old oak tree in the front of the main house will thank you as well!
Smitty West
The owner and caretaker of Euterpe Farms, is singer/songwriter Smitty West. If he’s around, he’s a very friendly fellow who might want to share a story or hike with you. (URL HIDDEN) If he is on the property, he loves meeting our guests and helping you enjoy your stay. You can hear him sing with his partner Julija Zonic at The Vine wine bar in downtown Ojai Saturdays from 5:00-7:00pm. Some of their CDs are on display in the room for purchase.

Have a drink of clean, pure windmill water, courtesy of Euterpe Farms!
This water is brought to you from a pure underground aquifer that underlies this area west of Krotona Hill. The reservoir is mapped by geologists to be fault-separated from the municipal wells in the Ventura River bottom, and in a completely different aquifer.
The well underlies the windmill you see in the field in front of you. Taste it, you’ll love it. So will your dog or horse, so let them have some too!
This water has been lifted by the power of the wind!
Before you is a 1920s-vintage, restored Chicago Aermotor A602 windmill. It was salvaged from a farm near Santa Paula, and put back into service to lift the water that nurtures the young native plants here at Euterpe Farms.
This machine is a thing of mechanical beauty and simplicity. It slowly and deliberately lifts the water from the earth every afternoon in the ocean breezes that move up the Ventura River as the Ojai Valley heats up in the sunshine. The machine is self regulating, turning to catch light breezes, but folding her tail to take the sails out of the wind in heavy winds. Every stroke lifts about two cups of water six inches. It sounds slow, but if the wind blows all day, it will fill one of the tanks you see next to the tower.
There’s a pond next to the well to catch the overflow on really windy days. Look closely for wildlife around the pond, including deer and bobcat.
What about when there’s no wind?
The farm has installed a solar photovoltaic grid on the south side of the farmhouse. Every sunny day, our electric meter runs backwards! The small pressure pumps that help the windmill during low wind, and pressurize the water in the irrigation system draw on this power. We also have a solar water heating system made from recycled equipment from the 70s and 80s. We try to keep a low carbon footprint here at Euterpe Farms!
Want more than a sip?
There’s a tap for your larger water bottles next to the drinking fountain.
If you would like to fill water bottles, we would ask that you make a donation in the cash box to help keep Euterpe farms eco-friendly, organic and natural.
What is “Euterpe ?”
Actually, “WHO is Euterpe ("you-TER-pee")? In Greek mythology, she is one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Called the "Giver of Pleasure", she was the muse of music.
The Muses dancing with Apollo
The Muses are goddesses or spiritual guides who embody the arts and inspire the creative process with their graces through song and stage, writing, music and dance. They were water nymphs, associated with the springs of Helicon and Pieris.
Here she is in a list with her sisters
•Calliope Chief of the muses and muse of epic poetry
•Euterpe muse of lyric song
•Clio muse of history
•Erato muse of erotic poetry
•Melpomene muse of tragedy
•Polyhymnia muse of sacred song
•Terpsichore muse of dance
•Thalia muse of comedy and bucolic poetry
•Urania muse of astronomy

Glass sliders across the entire cabin not just offer spectacular views of the river basin and surrounding mountains from inside but also open up onto a wooden deck that extends the living space outside.

Lounge
The lounge area includes a comfortable seating arrangement, including a two-seater couch and armchair, where you can relax, read or busy yourself with a puzzle or board game. There's also a little breakfast area adjacent to the kitchen. We provide WiFi but there is no TV as we want you to fully immerse yourself in nature while here.

Don't miss the famous Pink Moment just before sunset, when the whole valley is showered in a spectacular alpenglow.
