About the host
Hosted by Mary Tokita
I’m the host behind El Escondite, a peaceful hideaway in the Kern River Valley. I created this space because I truly enjoy sharing the beauty, quiet, and adventure of this area with travelers from everywhere. Whether you’re here to explore Sequoia National Park, spend time on Lake Isabella, or simply disconnect and breathe, my goal is to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and memorable.
I care about the little details; cleanliness, clear communication, local recommendations, and making sure you feel welcome the moment you arrive. Guests often tell me they chose El Escondite because it feels like a retreat, tucked away but still close to everything. Hosting this space has become something I love, and I’m always here to help you get the most out of your visit.

Why they chose this property
I chose this area because it offers the perfect balance of quiet relaxation and easy access to everything the Kern River Valley has to offer. The neighborhood is peaceful, surrounded by mountains, wildlife, and open sky, yet it’s just minutes from Lake Isabella, hot springs, scenic trails, rafting spots, and the gateway to Sequoia National Park. It’s a place where you can truly slow down, enjoy nature, and still be close to local attractions, small-town charm, and outdoor adventure.
What makes this property unique
This property sits on historic Indigenous land with a peaceful atmosphere you can feel the moment you arrive. Guests enjoy private access to Tillie Creek beach, seasonal lake views, and some of the clearest night skies in the valley. Inside, the home blends Native-inspired décor with modern comfort; smart TVs, mini split A/C and heat, a cozy loft, and thoughtful touches throughout. Whether you’re stargazing, hiking, kayaking, or simply enjoying the quiet, this space gives you a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t find anywhere else.
