The Space
Welcome to Piedras Hermosas, a vintage 1970s split-level home that blends retro charm with modern convenience. The Great Room is designed for fun and relaxation with a large leather sectional, pool table, dart board, smart TV, wet bar, plus books and board games.

Gather in the dining area or relax by the wood-burning fireplace on winter nights. Off the dining room, a sun-filled solarium opens to the refreshing pool (unheated, May–Sept). The kitchen is stocked with essentials to make meals easy.

Outdoor Adventures:
The Kern River is perfect for fishing, kayaking, and tubing—but safety first: the current is very strong. Life jackets are required. You’ll also find hiking trails nearby and Lake Isabella, a short drive away, popular for kite surfing. Kernville’s shops, restaurants, and bars are just a mile down the road.

Safety:
This is a split-level home with stairs, balconies, and a pool, all of which carry inherent risks. By booking, you accept full responsibility for the safety of your party. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL THE TIMES IN THE POOL and IN THE POOL AREA. Owner assumes no responsibility for any accident or injury in connection with such use. Persons using the pool agree with the Owners for and in consideration of the use of the pool, to make no claim against the owners for or on account of any loss of life, personal injury, or damage to or loss of personal property.*
