Perfect for our family reunion
The property was 100% perfect for our family reunion, and quickly felt like a home away from home. Gabrielle was very quick with answers to all our questions. I can definitely recommend Ojas.

Wonderful and gorgeous mountain hideaway
I stayed here with my spouse and wedding party for our wedding weekend, and we absolutely loved it here! We had a large group of 16 people and it was so spacious and beautiful for our party. I think this is one of the rare posting where the pictures don't do it justice - it's even more beautiful and clean in person, and the views are phenomenal. Gabrielle was wonderful and super communicative, from questions ahead of time until Saturday night staying there when we had questions about the hot tub. We highly recommend staying here, it was the perfect hidden, peaceful getaway we were looking for!

Wonderful family reunion in Temecula
Our family of 17 people ranged over three generations and found this an ideal property. Besides sufficient accommodations, we enjoyed using the hot tub and the pavilion. The latter, a large facility, was probably designed primarily for spiritual yoga activities, was also exploited for games, arts and crafts and dancing. Nearby strip malls were convenient for food shopping, even over Christmas and Christmas Eve.

Beautiful property and friendly host
We had a multigenerational Thanksgiving getaway and Ojas Retreat had ample room for everyone to gather in groups or use one of the many little conversation areas to get a bit of solitude. The large kitchen and two dining tables made easy to do big family meals. The deck had multiple areas to relax and enjoy the view. The rooms were large and comfortable. The huge studio was perfect for family yoga, workouts , and playing music. And the host was easy to communicate with, friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Ojas Retreat for a large group gathering!

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!
I can't speak more highly of my experience at Ojas! As someone who has stayed in many VRBOs of this kind, Ojas is second to none. From the hand soaps in each bathroom to the hot tub towels, everything is high quality and beautifully arranged. The space was immaculate and Gabrielle's eye for design made us feel like we were staying somewhere out of a magazine! I will be booking my annual retreats here moving forwar. I HIGHLY recommend Ojas!

Perfect spot for a group retreat!
Ojas Retreat Center exceeded our expectations! This property was the perfect spot for our group of 10-15 that stayed throughout several days for a retreat. The views are spectacular. The rooms are comfortable and well set up. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. The pavilion is perfect for any wellness group session - we used it for breathwork and pilates. The trail by the house gives a perfect excuse to wander. The layout is ideal for groups to meet, spend time together, and still have nooks to go to for privacy. We had a couple of very minor reasons to reach out to the property manager, and the response was quick and friendly. My business will for sure be holding retreats at Ojas again in the future, and we highly recommend it to anyone else!

Great house for large families/groups.
We are a multi generation group of 12. This place was absolutely perfect for us! Two in suite ground floor units for two sets of mobility challenged grandparents. The grounds were tranquil and spacious. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and supplied with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The common area/kitchen had enough seating and utensils for everyone. On top of that, it was a well stocked kitchen with non-stick pans, cutting board, large colander, parchment paper, etc… everything our group needed to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our host, Gabrielle, was very responsive to questions and had great suggestions for local restaurants. Overall, it was one of the best places we have rented.

About the host

Hosted by Gabrielle

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Gabrielle. I'm a yoga teacher, and an amateur sailor, hiker, and lover of being outside- especially the ocean and the mountains! I'm originally from Baltimore, MD and found my way to this special property in Southern California to host retreats and groups. All are welcome. I'm committed to maintaining this amazing property with the utmost care and look forward to hosting your group.

Why they chose this property

The history of this land dates back to the indigenous people over 8000 years ago. The Santa Rosa Plateau is part ecological reserve and has about 40 miles of hiking trails, some of which can be accessed right outside our property. This area is the only place in the US with a Mediterranean climate and I'm always amazed how pleasant it is :) We have loads of big trees, that planted themselves and grow naturally, and I love the secluded feel they create.

What makes this property unique

One of the many unique qualities the property offers is the amazing pavilion where groups host their retreats. It's a beautiful bright space and the perfect place to recharge. I also love our zen courtyard which connects the main house to the pavilion and offers a peaceful place to read, chat, or eat lunch.
