Nestled on 15 acres of Kernville Ranch, it’s just a brief 5-minute walk from the town of Kernville. Take a moment to rejuvenate in the natural cedar hot tub, delight in watching the horses frolic in the meadows, or enjoy old-fashioned fun catching frogs on the sprawling green lawns. With over 100 shade trees, a private river and swimming hole, and no check-out chores, this is a true retreat. This charming original trailer has a cozy ambiance, with warm, honey-colored wood paneling throughout. Arrive and step onto an expansive deck, featuring a Moroccan tile table for outdoor dining, a gas griddle, and comfortable chairs—perfect for watching the sunset or stargazing. The polished aluminum trailer, beautifully restored, reflects the surroundings like a mirror and offers two entrances. The right-hand door leads into the living room and kitchenette, ideal for reheating leftovers or preparing a quick meal (please note: no gas stove). This intimate space includes a small table with two chairs and a twin bed that doubles as a sofa—an inviting spot to curl up with a good book. The air-conditioning unit is located here in the ceiling. Windows throughout the trailer frame views of pink-hued mountains and lush lawns. Past the original pink fridge and kitchen sink, a narrow paneled hallway leads to a pocket door opening into a compact bathroom, complete with a shower and a cozy bathtub. The bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and petite closet. Windows on all sides look out over the ranch, shaded by towering trees, with views of the horse pastures and Powers Peak just beyond Kernville. A door leads directly from the bedroom back onto the spacious wood deck—an ideal spot to enjoy the evening air after a day of hiking or rafting. The charming town of Kernville, only a short walk away, provides a picturesque backdrop for a relaxing getaway. You’ll have complete and private access to all interior spaces pictured. Guests are welcome to explore the fenced grounds of Kernville Ranch: take a dip in the cedar hot tub, plunge into the private river swimming hole (seasonal, April–December), greet the horses, or experience the zip line. The ranch spans about 15 acres and includes three distinct listings: Shiny Spartan – this restored travel trailer. Mountain View – the original two-bedroom log cabin, built in the 1890s. Meadowlands Cottage – a one-bedroom wing attached to the main house. For larger groups, you may rent the entire ranch. Please note: outdoor spaces are shared among guests staying in the different listings. Our dedicated groundskeeper, Alen, visits daily to care for the horses and maintain the property. While I do not reside on-site and may not be physically present during your stay, I am a conscientious and engaged host. My husband and I have been involved with horses and hospitality for over 20 years. When not here in Kernville, we run a dude ranch in Hollywood. We love sharing Kernville Ranch and take our role as hosts very seriously. This is a historic property, and while I can’t guarantee that something won’t go wrong, I will always do my very best to ensure you have a wonderful stay. I know how precious leisure time is, and I want you to love it here. The magic of this place often reveals itself in unexpected ways—perhaps a herd of deer at sunset, or your children laughing as they chase frogs through the mint field. Wildlife and nature will surely make themselves part of your experience. Please note: there is no indoor stove, but a propane griddle is provided outside. Kernville Ranch is home to several retired horses, with a gentle river flowing through the land. Abundant water keeps the grounds lush and green. Expansive lawns and towering shade trees provide a cool respite from the summer heat. Beyond the seasonal brook, the ranch opens into wide flood meadows where horses roam freely. Ducks, herons, and ospreys often grace the skies, with pink mountains rising in the distance. It truly is a place of remarkable beauty. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Day bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the city centre - In the mountains - Near a hospital - On a lake - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12070000/12063500/12063496/cb173a53.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Kern Lodge Kernville - Pool - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.4 Very good 688 reviews £78 includes taxes & fees 18 Nov - 19 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-18&endDate=2025-11-19&selected=12063496&PinnedHotelID=12063496&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90770000/90763100/90763071/c472b941.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Loft Cottage, w/ bedroom, close to Kern River.
