About this property

Idyllic French-Style Guest Cottage with Pool

A stylish, serene and upscale 1000 sq.ft. retreat on 4.5 private acres. Imagine a vacation in the French countryside, with the conveniences of state-side living. Must rent for 30 days unless special arrangements are made with owner.

Revel in privacy. Marvel at the silence and the sounds of nature. Drink in the mountains, fields, vistas, & views. All this, with an easy 18-minute walk or 3-minute drive to all restaurants, grocery, and shopping in downtown Ojai.

Beautiful seating and long tables under a private park of enormous sycamore shade trees, a bocce court, a solar heated swimming pool, chaise lounges and umbrellas, fire pit…all embraced by crisp privet hedges. At night the surrounding olive, sycamore and eastern redbud trees are tastefully lit, yet don’t compete with the sparkling vault of stars above.

Inside this fresh, tasteful cottage, you will enjoy the soaring beamed wood ceilings, the gas fireplace, the extra-comfortable sofas, an interesting library, a modern Subzero/Viking kitchenette. The classic ground floor bathroom with subway tile shower can be accessed from poolside for your convenience. Upstairs, via the spiral stairs, are two quality queen beds and large windows with blackout roman shades. More amenities include a Sonos sound system, AC, indoor and outdoor heaters, and a gas grill. Hot tub and laundry access available on request.

Rest of property includes garden of eight planter garden, a vineyard of Petite Syrah, a dry creek of rocks and a massive field that ends at the San Antonio Creek. Owners are on-site, but at "arm’s length" with the two homes well separated.

Don't miss the famous "Pink Moment" sunsets by the boulder fountain under the two majestic heritage California Oaks.

Kim’s place was just so beautiful and lovely, we never wanted to leave. The grounds were gorgeous, the beds comfy, the place was spotless and the hosts couldn’t have been nicer. We were lucky to find this place, close to downtown, but quiet and peaceful at night. Had everything we needed and a picturesque property that left us feeling like we were in another world. We wished we could have stayed longer. Five stars isn’t enough!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Barnes

Host profile image
I enjoy meeting guests and checking in on them periodically, but I am generally "hands-off", unless I'm needed. I've been a businesswoman and realtor for years, and I have work to do on the property. You may see me around. I have dogs, therefore I ask that you do NOT bring animals without my express invitation.

Why they chose this property

Our guests all liken our home to staying at the Ritz Carlton. We have beautiful new outdoor furniture on the patio and around the pool.

In the large garden filled with boxwood planters, comfy rattan chairs and sturdy long tables and benches...well, it's like sitting in a park in France under lofty plane trees. As a visiting child remarked, "Fancy!"

The quiet and peace at night with a vault of stars to contemplate. Neighboring horses to feed carrots to. A bright green lawn to dip your toes into. Find some rocks to throw in our dry creek bed. Meander through the eight planter garden. How is the vineyard doing?
