Nice Wooden Themed Room

Very nice stay! Clean and quiet room. The wooden themed room is definitely a very unique touch. Walkable distance to downtown kernville and Kern River. Will definitely stay here again!
Jacky, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very clean. I really can't complain. I was having an issue getting the heater going. It was cold and raining, so we really needed it to cut the chill. The manager did his best to get it going. When we couldn't figure out why the heater wasn't coming on, the manager offered to move us to a different room or bring us a space heater.we chose the space heater which was more than sufficient. Huge thanks.

Retro feel in Ketnville

Wonderfully maintained vintage feel. So, so cute felt like l was in a 1950s lake cabin. Lots of pride in appearance. They were able to get me in even though had overbooked.

The kern lodge way

Room had a good smell clean room lots of space and correct amenities
Alfred, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

10 hour stay was worth the money.

Upon arrival, nobody at front desk, had to call a phone number for key. 9pm Upon entry to the room, zero toilet paper, tissue, etc. Had to call again. A bonus was a great A/C that kept the room comfortable the whole night. The shower was not appealing so we choose not to shower in the morning and go straight to river rafting. Location was great and price for 10 hours was just right.
