It may come to a surprise that the world's largest outdoor bookstore can be found in Ojai; Bart's Books indeed has a collection of over 130000 used and new books on the shelves. Bookworm or not, Bart's Books is a must-see.
Sister of roadside retreat Capri, Ojai Rancho Inn is similarly a nature lover's haven. At the base of the Topatopa Mountains, this 50's ranch style hotel is the perfect spot to lounge by the pool, read a book by the firepit and get exploring on the city bikes.
