Very comfortable rooms in a uniquely designed building. The grounds between the wings are very lush. Personnel were very friendly. Saul and Trini at cafe were very friendly and helpful. We checked in shortly before closing time as they were wrapping up for the night and had packed the kitchen, but Saul whipped up a sandwich for me with what was on hand and it was delicious! So was my wife's sandwich. Only downside was the lack of air conditioning. Normally, since the resort is right on the water, that would not be a problem, but Ventura was experiencing record-breaking temperatures, even at night. A/C is expected even at the beach these days. Otherwise it was great. We expect to return, but not in the summer.

Harbortown Point is truly so special. The kitchen staff are so kind and make amazing home made bread, treats, and execute the hotel menu perfectly. They really do everything they can to make you feel at home! They made me a birthday treat last year which was just the best and really made things feel special! The homemade baked goods are also to die for! The rooms are gorgeous and they really thought of everything when designing them. I've never once thought "oh I wish they had this or that," because they literally included everything you could possibly need. The pool and hot tub are exquisite. The views are wonderful. Birds of all kinds fill the trees in the courtyard area that the hotel encircles. If you are lucky enough to get a harbor view, you will see sea birds, sea lions, and maybe even dolphins. We are missing this place this year, but can't wait to be back next year. It really is such a gem. I've included pictures of the various views from the different rooms we've stayed in and all the interior/ property photos I could find on a quick dig through my camera roll. We really can't wait to be back!

We were also celebrating our first grandchild as well as our younger son's engagement, and we couldn't have found a better spot for quality time and making memories. The outdoor spaces are extraordinary, gorgeous nature, minutes from town and shopping with resort amenities - had an all-day bocce tournament, epic morning workouts in the giant yoga room, ping pong + frisbee games, long soaks in the hot tub, and hikes to the nearby picturesque river trail. Also outdoor lunches with vistas of the mountains and lush tropical foliage. The beds in the charming ranch home are super comfy and we had some excellent game nights and dinners at home, plus great meals out (Roblars, Rory's Place, The Hip Vegan, The Dutchess). Our granddaughter slept well with her parents in the guest house, and our granddog was happy to run around in a safe fenced area. Communication with Lisa was perfect. Can't wait to return...A+++

Walking the grounds is such an experience as you always find something new and exciting around the corner; for example the vegetable garden we found towards the back of the property and all the inviting sitting areas scattered throughout. You can have a fun gathering at the pool or take a stroll and find a place to be alone; maybe read or meditate. This place has it all! One evening we had dinner on the patio and the setting could not have been any better: the string lights, the cool stone table that could seat our large party and the amazing tall trees. It felt like we were at a tropical island. Many of us traveled from out of state and the hours it took to get to Rolling Thunder Ranch was well worth it! The only negative is....wish we stayed longer.

When driving in, we made the mistake of going to the Krishnamurti Library driveway but it was the driveway after that. We stayed in the Lennon room which included a kitchen/dining area and ensuite bathroom, as well as a private entrance through the balcony. The room was very spacious with lots of seating and storage area which is a huge plus. The queen size bed was comfortable and the entire place super clean. Because this place is in connection with the Krishnamurti Library, everyone is conscientious about being quiet and reflective as to not disturb others so you will definitely get a quiet night's sleep. We did cook our second night and the basic amenities were there. Buffet breakfast was delicious. Highlights include various fruits, jams, butters, cereals, coffee/teas, cheeses, hardboiled eggs, and bread/bagels, especially the sprouted bagel which was my favorite. There is a lot of reading material about the Krishnamurti Foundation and about Krishnamurti himself in the lounge area. The grounds are nice to take a stroll around. Next time I visit Ojai, I will visit this place again and stay here.

Personable and caring, it just added to, and made the entire experience very special, from A-Z, when I arrived to check-in. This, along with everything else, gives off a super positive energy that's inviting and comfortable. The house, and the grounds, are absolutely beautiful as it's surrounded by orange trees and flowers. The place is a spiritual retreat, so not your usual B&B. It's perfect for time alone to write, paint, think, meditate -- or -- romantic time with your special someone, walks around the property, etc. Additionally, you should know that no smoking, or meat, is allowed on the property -- veggie only. Just part of what makes this a different, yet special, experience. I stayed for 2 nights, and perhaps experienced the best sleep I've had in a very long time. Extremely quiet location! This is also encouraged, and made possible, by prohibiting TV, radio/computers (with headphones it's okay), and alcohol -- no getting drunk and loud here! The rooms are clean, a bit antiquey, and well-maintained. A couple of miles from downtown Ojai, it was just perfect (you can get your drinks and eat your meats there, if you must). Extremely restful. Wifi was a bit shotty...which for me...added to my rest by keeping computer use to a minimum. I left the weekend with my soul filled, and spirit replenished (or something like that!). I can't wait to go back.
