I love the historic, old-west, rustic feel of the lodge. Being adjacent to the river is an added benefit.

Just OK
The room was cute, but everything was old & dusty...window screens broken and torn with dust and cobwebs, and the bedding was well-worn. The bathroom was fairly clean, but the shower curtain had mildew. There was a funny smell to the room, like an air freshener trying to cover a smoke/pet smell? Overall, however, not a bad experience. This was the only room left in the area and it was reasonable, so we weren't expecting much. The hospitality was nice, just not the cleanest experience.

Easy access to everything in town. I have stayed several times in Kernville. The Riverview Lodge by far is the most convenient location. A private river access point and private parking was an awesome bonus. Kernville is a fun town to visit with it's historic feel and weekly community gatherings in the summer are always packed and so much fun to join. The entire town is very welcoming and the staff of the Riverview Lodge are no different. They made everything easy. Check-in was a breeze and checkout was even easier. Having a fridge/microwave and balcony to hang out on added to the experience! I highly recommend checking them out if you are going to stay in town.

Very quite during the night. John was very nice when checking in. My family stayed at the Frandy campground and my daughter and I were able to talk to the campground easily. Very old fashion rooms that make you feel like your in a cabin which was super nice.

I liked you could walk to River or to the local Diner. It had a court yard with guests having a cook out and having fun.

This is my favorite spot to stay at when I am in Kernville. The staff is absolutely amazing and the view is one of a kind. I can’t wait to go back every year and enjoy my stay when I am there. Rooms are very clean and tidy.

The place was very convenient as it was next to the river and a campsite that some of us were staying at. The rooms are simple and comfortable, but kind of worn out. We had trouble with the door locking correctly and there was not a deadbolt on the door. Being next to the river there were a few critters around, but the very friendly staff helped with that.
