The property location is awesome. Very close to the river and a store and places to eat. The host Anthony was very responsive and communication was excellent so we knew exactly what was the check-in and out process. The house was clean and nice. Would definitely stay there again!

If you are looking to stay close to Kern River, Lake Isabella, or the Trail of 100 giants, this is your go to place. It is conveniently located close to all 3 places. A convenience store with lots of helpful supplies is just a few steps away and there are lots of places to go enjoy the cool water during the hot days just a few minutes drive away or walking distance. Anthony, the host, was super friendly. The whole process was quick and easy. Anthony was super responsive and their home was fully equipped, comfortable, and clean. This was a very last minute weekend getaway with the kids and they all enjoyed their stay. We would definitely consider staying here again!
