About the host
Hosted by Dimitar Yazadzhiev
I’ve been a resident of Ojai since 2006, and this home has a special place in our hearts—it’s where we raised our three kids. Over the years, we’ve enjoyed tending the garden, watching countless sunsets over the Topa Topa mountains, and experiencing the peaceful spirit of this community.
I love hosting because it gives me the chance to share this beautiful space with others and help them discover what makes Ojai so unique. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or simply unwind, I’m always happy to share local tips and make sure you feel right at home.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s very safe, quiet, and peaceful—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The East End has a wonderful sense of privacy, with open spaces, mountain views, and beautiful gardens all around.
Even though it feels tucked away, it’s just a short drive or bike ride to downtown Ojai, where you’ll find great restaurants, shops, and farmers markets. It’s the best of both worlds: a calm retreat with everything you need close by.

What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the combination of space, privacy, and incredible views. The home sits on a full acre of landscaped grounds with fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and plenty of room to relax.
The large Jacuzzi is perfect for stargazing after a day exploring Ojai, and the sunsets over the Topa Topa mountains are truly unforgettable. Guests often tell us how peaceful and restorative it feels here—like having your own private retreat, but still close to everything.
It’s a place where you can slow down, enjoy nature, and feel completely at home.
