  We had a great time. The cabin is right by a stream, and there's a table and two chairs outside where we drank wine in the afternoon and read. We are definitely going again; next time it will be for three nights.

  We loved our stay in this wonderful little cabin. Great location along the creek, beautiful rustic grounds with citrus, avocado, oaks, and sycamore. So peaceful and also close to town for a great selection of restaurants. It was perfect for us and we hope to come back.

  We found the quaint little cabin with screened in porch to be very comfortable. Owners very available if needed, but did not interject in any way. The stove was ready to light, and made me feel like an expert. It was not cold, but the fire made things nice and cozy. Some of the artwork is a little on the erotic side, so we turned a couple pictures over during our stay. I have no idea where all that water comes from, but the river sound has an amazing calming effect. The toilet and sink are very close to one another, and a very tall or large person would struggle a little with that. Overall this is a great getaway location. There are other cabins in the area, but we felt as though we were completely alone and isolated from the outside world. I had been wanting to get up to the Love Shack for a couple of years, and am glad that we finally made it!

  We had never been to Ojai and this was the perfect place to start. The roads are great for my cooper and the weather was amazing. Just a short drive to some of California's best beaches and just a close to some of California's best hiking. The cabin is quaint just the right size for two lovers. Next time we need to bring bug repellent and then we would be completely prepared for the great outdoors that this setting provides limitless amounts of. We hope to return soon because I'm really missing the Love Shack!

  I cannot begin to adequately express how much I enjoyed my time at The Love Shack. The setting, the quiet (only interrupted by bubbling brook and a distant rooster in the AM), the canopy of trees and loads of natural light. The second night I was here I woke up at 3AM so invigorated I got up and wrote a short story! The hosts were very considerate and the space was exceptionally clean and cozy (cast iron stove already lit and heating when we arrived Wednesday night). The surrouding private lands, the hiking paths up the street, the charming town of Ojai and the homey effects of the cabin (original pottery, artwork and furniture) made me feel like I truly was in a Home. There is one thing about the cabin that might not be ideal for some: the bathroom is super small. If you're someone who thrives on hanging out in the bathroom--might not be the right space for you. But for us it was a very minor issue and never once proved to be any inconvenience.

  Owner response: Thank you Mike for this good review. It is true that the bathroom is tiny tho everything needed, aside from a tub, is there. Indeed the Love Shack is quite small and cozy tho the views and the grounds are expansive. We hope to see you again. Robert

  I'm so happy we found the love shack. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Our hosts were great, we loved the fresh flowers! I honestly can't think of a way it could have been better. We are already planning our trip back.

  We loved the Love Shack! Charming location, good vibes, and friendly host. Cabin is very cozy, well tended and comfortable. The grounds are historic, romantic, and welcoming. The stream provides a constant soothing song and buffers the outside world. We will hopefully be back soon!

  My friend and I had a wonderful time at the Love Shack Cabin in Ojai. It was fantastic waking up to the babbling brook right outside the cabin. It is peaceful, serene - a lovely place. Though it would be a great romantic getaway, we made this a girls getaway and it was just fine. We hiked the trail that was 5 mins way, had the wood burning stove warming us up in the evening, visited, shopped and ate in Ojai. We are definitely going back and I highly recommend the cabin.

  Nothing was better than sitting out on the porch in the morning with my coffee. The sound of the stream running below and the birds calling was too perfect. It was a great getaway. Plus we discovered the Deer Lodge, where we had good food and good conversation. Enjoyed speaking with the owner and property manager and confessed to pilfering a couple oranges from the nearby trees that made the greatest juice ever.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+.

  Owner response: Thank you Maggie for the great review. The oranges are on the house, not pilfered. We like to share any of the fruit that happens to be ready to eat with our guests. Glad you enjoyed the "Venison Chateau" which is just down the road from Ojala. We hope you can come back soon.

  This rental looked great online, but we couldn't believe how much better it was in person! The cottage sits above a lovely stream with boulders, sycamores, and reflections of the close hill range -- everything sounds and smells great in the cabin. This is a perfect place to spend a couple of days, with a well-equipped small kitchen, a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove, a dreamy bedroom, plus plenty of outdoor seating under the sycamores. We barbecued fish one night on the small grill, enjoyed having our morning coffee under the trees, and fell asleep each night to the sound of the water running in the stream. It's practically next door to fantastic hikes at Matilija Canyon, Cozy Dell Canyon, and still close to town, too. We enjoyed meeting Robert and Anna, too, who have thoughtfully furnished the place with interesting books, art, and amenities. You can't go wrong here -- it's the perfect cabin.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

  Owner response: It was nice meeting you too and thanks for your great review. We love it when guests appreciate the unique beauty of the cabin and the property as you have. That is the real reward for us. We hope you can return again soon. Robert and Anna
