wheresjessieb — Ojai Rancho Inn

Hot take: every California road trip should include this cute small town. ~ Part 2 of 4 ~ This isn’t your typical Californiar road trip. So after the High Sierras, we headed west to the tiny, creative town of Ojai. It’s a great road trip stop because of its vibey cafes and restaurants, citrus groves, indie shops, and quirky vibes. Plus, some very road-trip themed accommodations.
