Business Description

"Fun and formal" is the motto of the owner, Kristina Knapic who bought and refurbished the sprawling Ojai Mansion in 2004. Nestled in the center of the Ojai Valley on what used to be hundreds of acres of orange groves is now a walled Estate close to Downtown Ojai. During the town's earliest days, many came to learn the teachings of Krishnamurti of the Krotona Institute and one wealthy follower, a widow named Madeleine Baird, built her dream home. Madeleine brought many artisans from Europe to create a jaw dropping two-story entryway with alabaster floors and stained glass windows. Many of the ceilings are hand painted and the sweeping iron staircase is a beautiful backdrop for photos.

The grounds have many spacious areas. Enter thru an iron trellis to a private gated garden filled with all white roses. Off the flagstone patio are Tuscan style gardens with a row of orange trees and a lavender circled fountain. The Mansion sleeps up to 15 guests and may be rented for the weekend or by the week.
