Cute place! Located right near the Kern River in Kernville. Rooms are nice, ours had a kitchenette area and the bed was comfortable which is always a plus in my book! Staff is friendly, even the maid said hello and wished us well on our journey back home. Will definitely be back!

The locations was great. Just a flight of stairs down from the property to the kern river. There was a nice patio with tables and chairs to sit and enjoy the river. The room was clean and had a fun rustic decor.

Very nice area, somehow missed the town at the bottom of the hill. Cheryl’s restaurant has a great breakfast. Little shops and such are going on in town. Loved the Kern River running behind the lodge. I am sure I saw gold glittering in the rocks, but forgot my pan! Ha, Great little lodge and area! We were passing through a lot of beautiful scenery.
