Nice Wooden Themed Room

Very nice stay! Clean and quiet room. The wooden themed room is definitely a very unique touch. Walkable distance to downtown kernville and Kern River. Will definitely stay here again!
Jacky, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed the hotel, town and vibe
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

10 hour stay was worth the money.

Upon arrival, nobody at front desk, had to call a phone number for key. 9pm Upon entry to the room, zero toilet paper, tissue, etc. Had to call again. A bonus was a great A/C that kept the room comfortable the whole night. The shower was not appealing so we choose not to shower in the morning and go straight to river rafting. Location was great and price for 10 hours was just right.

Tiffany, 1-night trip

No electricity

Windy conditions during our stay meant they shut down the power. We had no electricity for about 10-12 hrs each day.

Refund

There was an old gentleman working that could not handle the guests. There was no shampoo soap,toilet paper etc. in the bathroom. We had to go up and wait just to receive these items. They allowed a bunch of teens from outside the hotel to come swim, which caused our kids to have to leave the whole point of staying was to enjoy the pool which we didn’t get to I complained and they made Them leave, but it was already too late. I wanna request at least half of a refund.
Karen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Friendly but the property is not good.

The peoperty is okay but they used bedding that had already been used by other guests and was stained without washing. The stove in the kitchen did not work and the fixtures inside were very old and not in good working order.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great room for the price. Comfortable bedding
Maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Honestly loved almost everything about this quaint little lodge- the themed rooms are so cute, the aesthetic is vintage and woodsy and I will definitely be back! My only qualm was the lack of humna-to-human communication with the actual Lodge staff.. I couldnt reach anyone via phone, email, even Facebook pre-stay. But once I got there, Bruce was so lovely and helpful and pleasant!
