The Kern Lodge

10/10 Excellent

Barewood Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"The AC worked great and kept it nice and cool! Could’ve had an extra bath towel but, made do with an extra one I bought from home."

Piazza's Pine Cone Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This retro motel turned out to be a delightful experience for us. The owners, Josh and Roberta are fantastic hosts. The beds were the most comfortable ones we slept in during our entire 9 day roadtrip. Parking was super easy. Loved all the touches from the 1950's and later decades. One of the most fun things we did was attend a ukelele gathering the owners put on with the locals on Tuesday evenings. We also played pool one night. Wish the swimming pool was heated, but that's my only "complaint". I highly recommend you stay here to experience going back in time, yet with modern comforts and conveniences."

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place, we recommand !"

Whispering Pines Lodge

"Was so lovely here, very friendly welcome. Deer on grass at the front of the property. Beautiful view from the room and close to town for food. Room was cosy and bed very comfy. Would benefit from a little upgrade, especially in the bathroom. Would stay again."

10/10 Excellent

"This riverfront property was a wonderful retreat. A lot of thought went into the layout, from the fire pit to the Jacuzzi and grill, giving it a cozy, at-home feel. The general store and local restaurants are just a short drive away, making it easy to grab anything you need or enjoy a meal out. We had a relaxing, comfortable stay!"

"Great host, really enjoyed our stay and plenty of room and amenities. Kernville is a great place to visit and would recommend this property if booking. PS: If I could, I would give this property 10/5 stars just for their dog, Dexter. He will greet you with his favorite ball to play fetch once you arrive."
