Spacious, clean and comfortable. Booked last minute and really enjoyed our stay. Loved the convenience of having the river directly in front as well as the town right behind us. We will definitely be coming back!

Very friendly and helpful. We had a double booking, and they ypgraded me for free instead of cancelling! Im coming in off thebPCT, and they also let me ship a package to their office and pick it up a week later! Smiles and friendly communication the whole way.
The property is cute, rustic and right across trom the river. Near the diner and post office. Great spot!

Kernville oasis
Another lively stay in Kernville. I stayed in the cabin in the rear of the property. It is charming, roomy, and very comfortable. I slept well and look forward to my next visit.

Thank you for a good night’s rest
I really enjoyed my stay. I spent the night in the Pinecone Room, and I was very comfortable and rested well. The room is very charming and clean. I look forward to staying here again should my travels bring me back through Kernville.

We loved this stay! Such a cute and cozy stop for the night at a great rate. We were surprised when we arrived as it was even nicer than we expected! The only thing i would recommend is adding some black out blinds, it was pretty bright all night in the room but besides that we had a great time.

The property is in a great location. Quick walk to many restaurants and shops. The room was clean and stocked with towels and coffee. My only little complaint is the room I had was downstairs and we could hear the guest above walking on the stairs and in their room. We will definitely stay again and book the upstairs room or one of the mini houses.

Cute little place almost off the grib
Cute little place, great for me, my wife and dog. Only small issues. Wifi was not trustworthy, only worth mentioning if you are trying to work remote from here. Both mornings at 6am I was awoken by music coming from the diner workers from the adjacent alley. It did last long just enough to wake me up.
