Had an amazing stay in the Kern Valley! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The house was spotlessly clean and the amenities were everything we needed to feel right at home. The location was perfect — stunning views that made every morning feel like a getaway. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in the mountains!

Interaction with host was great, very helpful. This cabin has a lot of terrific windows that gives an open feeling and comfortable. It snowed during our stay and having a carport worked out well, as did the 2 huge covered porches. This property is well maintained inside and out.

This was our second time staying at meadow oaks as it is such a peaceful location. Ate dinner each night on the very large porch with a great view and only hearing the river. Used the AC and it was cool and quiet , really quiet. We still haven't turned on the TV so not sure about that. Great host, great history of this property, very relaxing trip.

My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is older yet very comfortable and clean. The host was responsive and easy to contact. The town is small with a good food market, great bakery, variety of restaurants and very friendly people. The Kern River is very close for fishing and has a beautiful public park. Overall, we had an excellent time at this property.

Kernville trip May 29 - June 1

The hosts were kind and gracious and we enjoyed their wonderful cabin so much. It is one of the original homes in Kernville with a amazing view of the mountains and beautiful sunsets. The cabin is climate controlled wonderfully and the beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are updated and beautiful.

Cozy and Comfortable Cottage overlooking Kernville

Family went to Kernville to enjoy some rafting on the Kern River and drive up to the Sequoia National Forest. Despite every day being over 100 degrees, the A/C kept the cottage cool. The beds were comfortable and Erin was great at communicating with us. Even alerted us that our route out of town might need to be changed due to an unexpected road closure.Downtown, Circle Park, all the restaurants were all walkable and within 1 mile maximum. Even with the heat, the walks were pleasant. The trail of 100 Giants was less than one hour drive.

Peaceful Beauty

The house was perfect for me, my husband and our dog. It was private and peaceful and the view of the mountains were stunning. Sat out on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The wildlife was amazing in particular, the herd of deer that came right next to the house/deck didn't seem to kind us having wine and watching them in the evenings. Kernville is a nice town with great places to eat before you head out for hiking, rafting, site seeing. Friendly people, great town, lots to do outdoors. Will make another trip again. Thank you Erin for everything!

This was our first time visiting Kern River/Sequoias and everything about our stay was enjoyable. The house is perfectly located, within walking distance of a market and local shops. We had several friends that stayed at a campground down the street and I can honestly say that I was extremely grateful that we had clean and private showers to come back to every night!
