Interaction with host was great, very helpful. This cabin has a lot of terrific windows that gives an open feeling and comfortable. It snowed during our stay and having a carport worked out well, as did the 2 huge covered porches. This property is well maintained inside and out.

My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is older yet very comfortable and clean. The host was responsive and easy to contact. The town is small with a good food market, great bakery, variety of restaurants and very friendly people. The Kern River is very close for fishing and has a beautiful public park. Overall, we had an excellent time at this property.

Kernville trip May 29 - June 1

The hosts were kind and gracious and we enjoyed their wonderful cabin so much. It is one of the original homes in Kernville with a amazing view of the mountains and beautiful sunsets. The cabin is climate controlled wonderfully and the beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are updated and beautiful.

Cozy and Comfortable Cottage overlooking Kernville

Family went to Kernville to enjoy some rafting on the Kern River and drive up to the Sequoia National Forest. Despite every day being over 100 degrees, the A/C kept the cottage cool. The beds were comfortable and Erin was great at communicating with us. Even alerted us that our route out of town might need to be changed due to an unexpected road closure.Downtown, Circle Park, all the restaurants were all walkable and within 1 mile maximum. Even with the heat, the walks were pleasant. The trail of 100 Giants was less than one hour drive.

Peaceful Beauty

The house was perfect for me, my husband and our dog. It was private and peaceful and the view of the mountains were stunning. Sat out on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The wildlife was amazing in particular, the herd of deer that came right next to the house/deck didn't seem to kind us having wine and watching them in the evenings. Kernville is a nice town with great places to eat before you head out for hiking, rafting, site seeing. Friendly people, great town, lots to do outdoors. Will make another trip again. Thank you Erin for everything!

Very relaxing. Only thing that could have been better was the temperature. It was hot when we arrived but not unbearable. Enjoyed being able to walk to store. We ate at Ewing's and The Pizza Barn. Both were very good. Nice friendly little town. We also went to see the Sequoia trees at Trail of 100 Giants.

Amazing!

I feel like we came across a diamond nesled comfy in the mountains. The entire property was amazing. The house was super clean and so cute! Clean remodled bathrooms, very comfy home. Huge deck. 2 more decks located around the property so you can enjoy every angle of the views offered. Lots of wildlife and the location was close enough to local attractions/restaurants/stores without even knowing it. It so was peaceful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for your 5 star hospitality, Erin!
