Beautiful Location, calm and peaceful

We had a very good stay, the hotel is very charming, the location is awesome, great view and beautiful nature all around. Some little things could be improved, one of the pillow was super flat, the shower pressure really strong, a bit aggressive, and no silverware, only 2 mugs were available. But overall we were happy and would recommend this place. We had the king room with river view.

Nice “country” inn by the river in Kernville

Wonderful little Inn by the Kern River. It’s a bit rugged, but for the price was really nice. It’s a great place for travelers in the area that are looking for something that doesn’t feel like your traditional “corporate” franchise hotel. This is a local Inn with a nice country feel to it.
