Great location, quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. The bonus was waking up to a family of deer in and around the backyard each morning. Definitely would stay again next time I’m in Kernville.

The Lazy Squirrel turned out to be a perfect getaway for a few nights. The property was clean, the rooms were spacious and the living room was very comfortable for a family to sit and watch Netflix. The game room was a bonus, as it has a pool table. I would recommend this property to a family of 4 or 5.

Fabulous Kern Getaway

We had a great time staying here. It slept five adults very comfortably with so much room inside for us to hang out. The pictures really do not do this place justice.

Incredible place to stay in Kernville

The Lazy Squirrel is the perfect place to stay in Kernville. The location is 5 mins from every restaurant and the river. The game room and wrap around porch are so cool. Nature and wildlife are all around you. We woke up to deer, quail, squirrels, and bluebirds with our coffee every morning.

Looking to purchase property

We were there on the 4th of July looking to purchase property in the area. The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings. It is close to town and shopping. Very well maintained and clean.

Kernville fun!

We had a great time in Kernville. Excellent house we stayed in, couldn't have been nicer! Clen, updated, fully furnished, very refreshing....and great location and view of the mountains. Terrific meals at Ewings, KRBC, El Rio and Cheryl's! Tried fishing, no luck, but still fun. We'll be back and hopefully the property will be available for us!Kent

Quiet and peaceful stay

Great hostess, easy to reach and prompt to respond. The house is very comfortable and the A/C was a lifesaver! The only complaint is that although the listing description and check in/out instructions mentioned a laundry room when in fact none exists.
