About this property

The Lazy Crane; A Luxury Cabin on the Kern River

This riverfront cabin in Kernville has everything! The backyard is the river with a beach area, hiking, fishing, rafting, tubing, skiing, horseback riding, or just sit in the river with a beer and some friends! With sleeping space for 12, there is ample room for groups and families. Lake Isabella is 15 minutes away for added fun! Premium cable, high speed internet and wifi. 3,000 sq ft of living space and newly remodeled with a gourmet kitchen, giant bathrooms, an outdoor rain shower, and very comfortable beds, there is no other rental in the area that has these amenities and a sandy beach right out the backdoor.

Two large master suites, both with sliding glass doors onto a huge second story balcony for star gazing and morning coffee. Third guest bedroom has a queen bed. There is a triple bunk bed with a full size mattress on the bottom. Additional sleeping space includes a 15' indoor teepee with a custom mattress; sleeps 2 adults or 4 children. Extra large Juvee pack n' play is provided. All bedrooms have luxury linens and lots of pillows. The bathrooms all have large walk-in showers with river rock detail and are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Small kids nook upstairs is stocked with books and toys. Whether you are looking for a base for daily outdoor adventures or a quiet nature retreat, this LUXURY cabin has something for everyone.

The cabin has been lovingly remodeled and has exclusively been used by family previously. It is immaculate and stocked like a family home with everything you need from spices, cookware, folding chairs, towels, shampoo and soap, etc... There is a separate beverage/wine fridge. Most condiments and cooking essentials are already here and for your use.

NEW: The downstairs patio area has a new patio set with seating for six and a propane fire pit. There is also a brand new propane grill. High speed internet and WIFI enabled, plus cable channels, Starz and Showtime. Mountain internet and cable service can be spotty, please understand this before booking. If you must have internet at all times, the mountains might not be the best place for you.

The Area: Kernville is 5 minutes down the road and has lots of shops, bars, and eateries. Most holiday weekends there is a festival going on in the center of town with food trucks and local artisan vendors. There is also a community park right on the river with lots of grass, picnic tables, basketball court, and playground. There is a binder in the cabin with activity brochures, hiking maps, and restaurant menus, along with other miscellaneous information about the area.

Lake Isabella is a fisherman's paradise with competitions happening regularly. Swimming, boating, jet skiing etc... There are jet skis and boats for rent at the dock.

The Pacific Crest Trail is right down the road. The Kern River Brewery is in town and has some amazing beer - try the Sequoia Red!My favorite hike to a small waterfall and slide rock is 20 minutes up the road. The Trail of 100 Giants is 30 minutes up the road, a must see if you have never seen the giant Sequoias. Alta Sierra, the local ski resort, is less than thirty minutes away and is very fun in the winter.

I am familiar with many hikes and unique things to do in the area and am more than happy to answer any questions. This has been a magical place for our family and we want our guests to love it too!

Everything was wonderful.
The property was perfect for our group. Just a suggestion. The walking to the water was dangerous for us older people, probably due to the flooding. Thank you.

Beautiful location
This was a beautiful home. Location is great! Right on the Kern river. Purchased some Tubes across the street and floated down the river. The house has wonderful upgrades and a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. There is a market walking distance that serves smoked tri- tip. The house is perfect for families. I did have to initiate contact with manager the week before. She did respond promptly and made a nice recommendation of a local restaurant/ brewery.

Amazing home, perfect location!
Absolutely the best vacation home you will find in the area. We were a group of 12 and had everything we needed for an incredible 3 nights. This is not your typical rental - it is a beautifully decorated and fully stocked home with plenty of room to spread out and relax. The location can’t be beat. Right on the river with a sand beach literally as your back yard with amazing views. We will be returning as soon as we can!

Why they chose this property

My parents purchased this property after we fell in love with the area during a rafting trip. It has been a slow-going labor of love to remodel it and make it what it is today. Many treasured family memories have been made here and we hope your family will make some here too.
