"We like how cozy and comfortable the rooms were and how everything was close and convenient, The whole family love this place, we will be returning soon."
"We had a great stay – the place was clean and the atmosphere very friendly. Unfortunately, there were no dishes or cutlery available, which made cooking and eating a bit tricky. However, there were grills and charcoal provided on-site, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a pleasant experience with just a few small things to keep in mind."

"The property is just lovely. The place was so well appointed, nothing was missing. All the appliances worked great, the back yard area was awesome. It was quiet and dark for sleeping. We loved it and if our futurte plans include the Kernville area we will be sure to try and stay again!"
"My boyfriend and I stayed here for our 7-year anniversary and my 27th birthday, and it was such a beautiful experience! The location is absolutely stunning — peaceful, serene, and right next to the river, which made it feel like a true escape into nature. If you love the outdoors and tranquility, this is the place for you.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the entire atmosphere of the lodge was calm and rejuvenating.
Just a couple things to note: they advertise having TVs, but there wasn’t one in our room. The internet connection was also spotty, and the breakfast options were pretty limited — yogurt, oatmeal, breads, and fruit.
Still, those were minor things compared to how relaxing and peaceful our stay was. Would definitely come back again for a quiet getaway!"
