Sisar Creek Sanctuary in Upper Ojai, at the trailhead to Santa Paula waterfalls

Need to get AWAY and reconnect with NATURE? Need a BREAK and more GREEN? Come stay surrounded by our ancient Live Oaks, and our lush garden. We invite you to take a cool dip in the creek, hike up to the nearby Punch Bowls swim holes or walk the park-like grounds of our neighbor, the historic Thomas Aquinas college. Watch birds and critters, star gaze without the glare of bright city lights, or just relax by the fire on your private patio. 15 minutes to Ojai, 25 to Ventura beach.
The space:
Our cozy Trailer is modified for a more comfortable stay; it has a large external gas tank and a large external water heater so you’re never out of hot water or gas. All electricity you’ll use is generated by solar power. It is a 26 foot long free standing unit with its own outside living area designed for functional relaxation. You’ll have one true bedroom with a queen bed and two potential twin size beds that create a second ‘bedroom’; the couch folds open (this will make a bed that is a bit shorter, at the length of 5’7”, may not be suitable for taller people) and the dining table and chairs transform into a bed as well. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all necessary appliances, there is central heat and air-conditioning and a full bathroom with a toilet and bathtub. You have access to the creek, private deck and a covered patio with a gazebo top housing a charcoal BBQ and a pizza oven.
You are surrounded by Live Oaks and an ever-changing flora with a large variety of cultivated and native plants. You can visit with our goats and chickens and sample farm fresh eggs and goat milk seasonally, say hello to our dogs and cats or just sit on your private deck and take in the breath taking view of the mountains around you.
Santa Paula is only 10 minutes away, with a variety of convenience stores, shopping centers, movie theatre, and museums.
Ojai is a 15 minute drive. Be inspired by art, taste selections from Ojai’s finest vineyards, indulge in a spa treatment, or play a round of golf. Venture on one of the many unique hiking trails nearby.
Want to visit a beach town? Ventura beaches are a short 25 minute drive. Catch a boat to Channel Island National Park from there.

While our house is also located on the property, and it is visible from the trailer, your area is just for you, we don’t cross paths, unless you choose to, your accommodation is very private.

Please message us if you’d like to visit with our animals, we also host private animal encounters with other visitors, and we’d like to make sure everyone has their private space and time with them.

We enjoy the peace and quiet tranquility here and so do our neighbors.
We welcome families with young children, all we ask is you make sure children behave in a way that is not loud and disruptive. Thank you for understanding!
