My only complaint would be the shower head not having much pressure to it and being very low so you have to bend down to wash your hair and the pillows are way too fluffy for a good nights sleep. Besides those things it’s an amazing experience being so close to everything and very quiet and peaceful. The staff’s was amazing.

Beautiful next to the river. All air conditioning units were all broken in every room and it was over 100 degrees. They didn’t bother to inform us before arrival. It was way too hot to sleep. We ended up checking out at 1 am and drove 2 hours home. The male manager had a less than friendly attitude. Got us once. Won’t get us twice.

This has been the best places I've stayed at in kernville, the cabin was cozy and so close to everything, we walked to the river, we walked to the bar and the diner for breakfast. I used the kitchen in our Cancun to make breakfast and we ate in our little patio. Great experience.

Kernville- what a lovely surprise!
We had a great time on this last minute trip. This quaint inn was central to everything and it was lovely to hear the river right outside our front door. Already looking forward to coming back to this random little treasure of a town named Kernville.
