Conejo Valley retreats don’t get better than this. Nestled in the serene landscape of Newbury Park, The Creek Retreats offers more than just a place to stay—it offers a gateway to the very best of Ventura County. Whether you are here for a corporate contract at a global headquarters, a university graduation, or a sun-drenched escape to the coast, my neighborhood puts you at the center of it all.
Nature & Adventure: Santa Monica Mountains
One of the crown jewels of Southern California, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, is practically in my backyard. This vast expanse of protected land offers over 500 miles of trails for every skill level. Boney Mountain: For an unforgettable view, take the nearby trailheads to Boney Mountain, where you’ll find rugged peaks and sweeping vistas of the valley.
- Sandstone Peak: Hike to the highest point in the range for a 360-degree view that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the distant Channel Islands.
- Outdoor Activities: Beyond hiking, the area is a premier destination for mountain biking, rock climbing at Malibu Creek State Park, and even horseback riding through historic film sets at Paramount Ranch.
Shopping & Leisure: The Oaks Mall
When you’re ready to trade the trails for some retail therapy, The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks is just a short 5-minute drive away. As the region’s premier shopping destination, it features a sophisticated mix of over 180 shops including Nordstrom, Apple, and Zara. For guests looking for Conejo Valley retreats that offer the perfect balance of nature and luxury, having this high-end retail hub so close by is a major perk. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or catching a movie at the AMC Theatres, my proximity to the mall makes us one of the most convenient Conejo Valley retreats for leisure travelers.
After a day of shopping, you can catch a movie at the luxury AMC Theatres or enjoy a meal at one of the many surrounding restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory or Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar.

One of the best parts of staying at The Creek Retreats is the incredible dining scene just around the corner. From artisanal coffee to upscale Italian, here are a few of my personal favorites:
