Blue Iguana Inn  

Tucked two miles from downtown Ojai in Mira Monte, Blue Iguana Inn sits in a rural spot near the Ojai Valley Museum, Ojai Valley Inn golf course and Libbey Bowl — a family-friendly, pet-friendly base for wineries, trails and beach day trips.

Fourteen individually decorated rooms channel early California and Southwest style with Spanish-tile roofs, rustic furniture, vibrant textiles, private patios, iPod docks, minibars, DVD players and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Courtyards and gardens set the scene for poolside lounging, an outdoor pool and spa tub, massages and body treatments, picnic areas, complimentary garden games and onsite bike rental to explore the Ojai Valley Trail.

Practical touches include free self-parking, concierge and multilingual staff, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, an elevator and an optional roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Continental breakfast is available daily (fee or included depending on rate), and the inn places you close to Ojai’s farm-to-table restaurants, tasting rooms and downtown cafes.
