We had the best experience ever here, it was absolutely perfect! I’m definitely coming back again. It was very convenient, the parking was excellent and the amount of activities and restaurants around the area were so amazing. Close walking distance to just about everything you may need.

Cute little place almost off the grib

Cute little place, great for me, my wife and dog. Only small issues. Wifi was not trustworthy, only worth mentioning if you are trying to work remote from here. Both mornings at 6am I was awoken by music coming from the diner workers from the adjacent alley. It did last long just enough to wake me up.

Another lively stay in Kernville. I stayed in the cabin in the rear of the property. It is charming, roomy, and very comfortable. I slept well and look forward to my next visit.

Thank you for a good night’s rest

I really enjoyed my stay. I spent the night in the Pinecone Room, and I was very comfortable and rested well. The room is very charming and clean. I look forward to staying here again should my travels bring me back through Kernville.

The property is in a great location. Quick walk to many restaurants and shops. The room was clean and stocked with towels and coffee. My only little complaint is the room I had was downstairs and we could hear the guest above walking on the stairs and in their room. We will definitely stay again and book the upstairs room or one of the mini houses.

The lodge was a welcoming and cozy place to stay. While the bathroom was functional, it could use some updates. The kitchen and furniture have seen better days, but they were still perfectly usable. I truly appreciated the excellent communication throughout my visit—it really made a difference.

We loved this stay! Such a cute and cozy stop for the night at a great rate. We were surprised when we arrived as it was even nicer than we expected! The only thing i would recommend is adding some black out blinds, it was pretty bright all night in the room but besides that we had a great time.
