Ojai Rancho Inn - A 1950s roadside motel transformed into a boutique retreat with poolside bar and vintage charm

Located at the entrance of Ojai from Highway 33, this 3-star Ojai hotel preserves original 1970s wood paneling, Mexican tiling, and stone fireplaces while offering modern amenities. The Ojai Rancho Inn features 17 rooms equipped with cable TV, mini-fridges, microwaves, and private patios, with select units offering mountain or garden views. Chief's Peak, the poolside bar, serves natural wines, craft beers, and cocktails daily from 3-10 PM, with Social Hour Monday through Thursday 3-6 PM. The enclosed pool area includes striped cabanas, loungers, and a fire pit. Complimentary amenities include bicycles, parking, morning coffee and tea, and WiFi. The property sits 5 minutes by bike or 15 minutes on foot from downtown via a garden-accessed bike path. Nearby attractions include Cattywampus Crafts and galerie102 (0.5 miles), Libbey Park (0.5 miles), and Sarzotti Park (1 mile).

Pros

Intimate 17-room property maintains authentic 1950s ranch-style architecture

Daily Social Hour at Chief's Peak bar encourages guest interaction

Curated gift shop features organic skincare products and local ceramics

Staff provides personalized advice on local vineyards and hiking trails

Cons

46.5 miles distance from Santa Barbara

Bar operates limited hours (3-10 PM only)

“In my opinion, this is a distinctive, retro-styled inn that prioritizes a relaxed, social atmosphere. I was particularly drawn to the enclosed pool area, complete with its cozy bar, a perfect spot for guests to unwind. Its prime location provides easy access to both the Ojai Valley Trail and downtown's shops and restaurants.”
