Great get away

Minutes from shopping and restaurants in kernville and secluded enough to enjoy the silence. The cedar hot tub over looking the horse pasture was fun. The place was well stocked with everything we needed and the host was very responsive. With family living close by we will be staying again.

Great place to stay for fishing trip

Had a great stay for a solo fly fishing trip on the Kern River. The property was just I expected based on photos and descriptions. Host communication was clear and helpful. Enjoyed the wood stove and limitless firewood each evening. Would definitely stay here again.

Whimsical Cabin

This place is so darling! Clean, roomy, and comfortable! We loved the fresh fruit and flowers on the kitchen table when we arrived. The location is a short walk to the river and minutes from the rafting outfitter. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Place to Stay

This cabin is a great place to stay. Well appointed, clean, and comfortable. My grandson and I went to Kernville for a fishing trip and found this property to be a great home base. I haven't slept this well for a long time. Located a 2 minute drive from town, it gives easy access to dining and the road along the river. I would highly recommend this property.

Natural-Peaceful-Beautiful

Beautiful place to get away and enjoy a rustic ranch. The 15 acres create a peaceful outdoor space to explore the horses, creek and historic trees. We loved walking the ranch everyday. Great location! We were able to hike, bike and fish all within a few miles. We will return ❤️

Another Wonderful Stay

Another wonderful stay at this enchanting property that really highlights the outdoor magic of Kernville. This property makes my work trips feel like a vacation instead. I just discovered the log book and it's entries from other guests! What a fun idea. Thank you again, Lindsey <3

One night retreat

This property is so dreamy! A cozy cabin with all you ask for. Crisp sheets, soft towels, plenty of throw blankets to warm up with if you enjoy the outdoors. The hot tub was perfect for an evening soak under the stars. The property was easy to find and located close to everything we wanted to see while in Kernville. My husband and I are looking forward to returning and taking advantage of the fire pit/grill and spending more time at the property.

A Dreamy Forest Ranch Retreat

I cannot express how much i enjoyed this property. Everything inside is very cabine themed and visually appealing/cohesive. Adorable property. I loved spending my afternoons visting with the horses and mules and handing out on the hammock. The sunsets were oh so pretty. This place truly felt like an escape from day to day life, where you could just escape from the normal rush and world, all while still having excellent cell service and wifi. I was in town for work, and this made my time feel like a vacation anyway. Amelia is a gracious and kind host, and quickly responds to concerns or questions. I immensely enjoyed my time here and have already booked my next stay!

Spider web was hanging on the ceiling. The ceiling was too low over the bed and my husband head knocked the wood on the ceiling every time he tried to get up. It wasn’t enough beds. Outdoor furniture was too old and disgusting and so much more I don’t want to remember……..

Honest Constructive Critique: Great Location but Misleading Descriptions and Maintenance Issues

My family stayed at Kernville Ranch for five nights & had a mixed experience. Cons: - Discrepancies between the listing descriptions/photos & the actual state of the property. - Dry, unmaintained lawns around cabin & cottage, contrary to "lush" descriptions/photos in the listing. - No swimming hole or access to the Kern River, despite the listing emphasizing these with misleading terms like "communal pool," "pool available," "on a river," "on the waterfront." - Scattered trash, sticks, & piles of dead branches, making the property difficult & unpleasant to walk. - Mice in the cottage & mice nests found in the armchairs. - Several bats were found roosting in the roof eaves outside the bedroom window & hundreds more in the trees right next to the cabin, posing a potential health hazard. Pros: - Spacious & peaceful property, offering a nice retreat from city life. - Enjoyable interactions with horses and mules. - Relaxing hot tub. - Comfortable beds. - Well-stocked with essentials. - Great location. Close to town, Kern River, Lake Isabella - Responsive host. Conclusion: The property has great potential, but improvements & more accurate descriptions are needed because our experience was nothing like what is described in the listing. If you're looking for a convenient base to explore local attractions, this rental would work well. However, if you plan to spend most of your time on the property like we did enjoying the swimming hole and "waterfront," you will be disappointed.
