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!

All though the facility was older it was very well kept and clean. The location and scenery was superb. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. If you are planning a fishing trip for the Kern river this is the spot. I saw several good fishing spots and holes within walking distance. The next time we are in the area this is where we will stay.

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.
