Great place for a family to stay
Great stay, small bathroom needs some remodel work, and would recommend keeping the heaters on as it takes about 24 hours to heat up the house in the winter.

Beautiful spacious property
House is huge!! Has almost everything you need!
We stayed over the thanksgiving week and had a wonderful time ! Hot tub was 😍!!! I didn't have a chance to use the bathtub but was fairly clean and looked very inviting. Back yard was big and had a nice size bbq and pretty lightning. Yard was fenced and will hold up against smaller dogs.
My children had a blast in the game room ! TV, pingpong table darts and a full size pool table !!!
Clean up list was very minimal and easy to accomplish!
I highly recommend for families or groups and will most definitely rebook when I need to stay in Kernvile!!!

Perfect for a family vacation
We had a great time in Kernville. The house was comfortable and we really enjoyed using the pool table, ping pong table, and hot tub. There were fires in the area that I was concerned about just prior to our check in date. The owner contacted people in the area to ensure all was safe and everything in the area remained open. I highly recommend this rental and I hope to visit again soon!

Cozy but spacious
When we first walked in, we thought it was cute and cozy but we turned into the kitchen then its a whole other living space. Its was spacious with a lots of entertainment. My family really enjoyed the pool, darts, and the hot tub. Easy to communicate with the owner; responded fast and was accomodated all our requests. My family loved it so much, they already want to book for next year!
I loved how clean it was and how there were accommodations for my toddler such as a booster seat and toys.

Multi Family Visit to Kern River Valley Area
This home worked well for our recent 2 family stay in Kernville. This home’s floor plan provides multiple private bedrooms while also providing large open spaces for multiple families to gather and visit during meal prep, TV and game time. It is located in a quiet community with easy walking distances to the river, shopping and dining.

This house is spacious, comfortable and very clean. We brought family and everyone was very pleased with the accommodations. The kitchen, dining and family room are open, great room style, which was great for visiting and cooking and spending quality time together. The billiard table and jacuzzi were icing on the cake! We will be back!

Great house, great location!
A great vacation here once again! This was our second time staying here with our family (9 people). There was plenty of room for everyone and we had everything we needed. Paul was once again very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We loved being able to take short walks to the town and the river. I hope we can come back next year!

Sibling holiday
Our first trip to Kernville - so nothing to compare it to. It was a fun house though a little tired.
We loved the location. Walking distance to the shops, restaurants and bars.
There was a pool table, ping pong table and hot tub - all really fun for the adults to compete against the one teenager in our group.
It worked well for our group and would stay there again.

Awesome Kernville Home
This home was great for my family and I for a couple days of exploring the Kern River valley and the great town of Kernville. It’s walking distance to some cool antique shops, a must-see (and free!) museum, and restaurants (broken yolk cafe for breakfast was amazing). The house is spacious, comfortable, and cool (despite the 100 deg heat!) with a fun game room. We even saw a deer in the driveway! We’d definitely like to come back.
*One note, when they say 4pm, that’s the soonest the “smart” door lock will let you in. We had an issue with the code not working at 4pm on the dot, and many attempts following, but luckily the hosts responded right away and remotely let us in.
Great responsiveness on their part.
