It was a Dream!
From beginning to end staying at the Acacia Mansion was beyond our expectations. The place has character, charm and little mystery! My group of 16 friends and family who traveled far and near for a NYE gathering all agreed that, after weeks of searching for a place to accommodate and inspire, nothing else we looked at could have come close to how special the mansion was.
Kristina was very easy to communicate with and went beyond to make sure we had a great stay.
I would highly recommend a stay at the mansion. Every person in our group left begrudgingly as we all didn't want the magic to end. THANK YOU, KRISTINA! You really gave everyone a memory they will never forget.

Every Detail was Perfect!
My wife and I had a nice weekend stay at the Acacia Mansion. It could not have been better. Every little detail was perfect. The property is clean, beautiful, warm, inviting and such a nice space to be in. Kristina is a professional and inviting host. We couldn't ask for better. I'm not easily impressed and am usually very critical as a traveler. I cannot find a thing that I would want more from an inn. A+!!!

I booked the Acacia Mansion for a post-graduation weekend celebration/getaway with 12 of my closest friends and family members. We were a group in our 40's and 50's, so it wasn't too wild...but read on and you'll see how much fun this place is. First I have to say that the photos on the website, while accurate, do not do this property justice. It is a beautiful and stately Spanish-style home (circa 1929) in a quiet residential neighborhood just outside of Ojai proper. The owner Kristina has styled the main rooms very elegantly, and this is reflective of the grandeur of the home. Each of the five main bedrooms is different, with elegant and tasteful antique furnishings and finishes. The beds were comfortable (I stayed in the Red Lotus suite), and several had private baths. There was also a bonus room in the den that doubles as an office, complete with a Murphy bed in the wall and adjacent bathroom. Everything you might need at home was on hand, including extra sheets, towels, bath amenities, coffee, etc. The gourmet kitchen was fully stocked with the essentials and much more. We're accustomed to staying in hotels, and this really was like staying at someone's grand old home. We (the girls) used the kitchen to cook a big dinner on Saturday evening (while the guys bbq'd tri-tip outside) and we made a lovely brunch buffet on Sunday morning that we enjoyed at the umbrella tables outside. Despite having to hunt for a few things in the kitchen, we found all that we needed. The fresh oranges from the orchard (that we squeezed daily (with a really cool gizmo in the kitchen) made wonderful mimosas! The animals on the property (chickens and alpacas) were cute and friendly, and we enjoyed giving them approved snacks and taking photos. Well, maybe the chickens weren't very social, but we harvested their eggs to make a really nice quiche. Now comes the fun part. Saturday night was the big celebration because all of my guests had arrived by that time. Kristina had shared with me that there were several trunks full of various costumes and accoutrement that we were free to use. So we did. Everyone dressed up and we took some hilarious photos in the saloon (that's not a typo) outside before venturing into the salon/living room for some impromptu karaoke with the player piano. The piano I might mention had everything from Mozart to Madonna. It was a hoot. The last night of our trip was a bit melancholy (only because we had to leave the next day). I'll be back!

We enjoyed the pool, the saloon, picking oranges, the outdoor fireplace, Gina the chef, the masseuses, walking around the grounds, feeding the Alpacas, and having fresh laid eggs for breakfast.

What a special setting to feel like you are in a different time period, but with modern conveniences. There was so much on the property to take advantage of and so close to town for an easy, convenient sightseeing and shopping spree. Wills loop trail was very close by and a beautiful sight to see.

stayed 5/29/18
We were a group of five families with little kids who wanted time away on the Memorial Day weekend. And that is exactly what we got. Although we just stayed for two nights, we lost track of time by the end of it. The kids had a blast at the dip pool, the grown ups had long conversations in the saloon, the bbq in moonlight was awesome, the rooms were comfortable (you have to give the margin that its a 1930s build), and the host was perfect. The presence of the Alpacas made it extra-ordinary. We want to do this again!
