Hotels & Motels

We have blocked some rooms for our guests at hotels ranging from the high end Ojai Valley Inn, to the charming Lavender Inn, to the barn like cute motel, the Rancho Inn. We also found a new Inn called the Chantico Inn & Suites that has a nice little pool area. All hotels, except for the Chantico Inn, have a 2 night minimum for weekend stays. For these hotels, we have blocked rooms for the nights of both the 12th & 13th of September. Click on the title of each hotel to visit their websites. Please mention the 'Rubi-Dentzel Wedding' when booking rooms at either the Lavender Inn or the Rancho Inn. When booking the Ojai Valley Inn or the Chantico Inn, please book via my mother. We look forward to spending a summery weekend in magical Ojai with you!

There is another Inn that we liked, but required that we book the entire place rather than block a few rooms. We did not block rooms here, but feel free to book with them on your own. This Inn is called the Emerald Iguana Inn.

If you want to camp in the Los Padres National Park or any of the beautiful areas surrounding Ojai, you will find that there are many options. Simone and I went to Dennison Park and saw some nice camp sites with views of the Ojai valley. Check here for Dennison Park. Glittery Lake Casitas is nearby, and have a lot of varied campsites. Go here for Lake Casitas Camping. You can also camp at any of the beaches around Ventura and get some summer surf in. Go here for the beach campsites. The beaches in the area are about 20 minutes from Ojai.
