Just a short drive from Orange County, Ojai is a place to vacation without logistical headaches. Jump in the car and drive a few hours north to the old-fashioned hamlet that peeks out across beautiful mountains and sits just a dozen miles from the ocean. The small-town vibe and the chance to relax away from crowds, particularly this time of year, will reset your outlook. February is a nice time to visit as you’ll get to use the hotel fireplaces and restaurant fire pits to stay cozy.
