Neighborhood

Kernville is located in the southern end of the Sequoia National Forest. If you like the wilderness, this is the place for you. This is a beautiful high desert playground. There is wildlife all around including deer, buck, bear, wildcats and birds. The quaint center of town is eclectic and everyone is friendly. You'll find locally owned businesses, shops, restaurants and entertainment. Head to Riverside park to pick up a game of Pickle Ball or shoot some hoops. Jump in the river to cool off in the summer, but be sure to wear your life jacket. Do some bird, ducks and geese watching there too. Take your pooch for a walk in the park or get a little exercise in. If you like river rafting, kayaking, or tubing, there are several companies you can book with. The town is walkable and fun to explore. If you prefer hiking, the Kern River Ranger Station at the center of town can guide you if you have specific questions.

Guest Access

The entire space is yours. You'll be able to access the house through a lock box and keys.

This is our third time staying here, it’s the perfect house for our crew to relax after work and have our own rooms separate from each other. Playing pool after work is an added bonus. We will definitely book again!

We visit Kernville one to two times a a year. This was my favorite place so far out of the places my family and I have stayed. We have a family of 5 (3 kids) and they absolutely had a blast, plenty of games and activities for them to do at the house including swimming. We also had some friends and family visit us and the place was great for entertaining guests. I highly recommend staying here the host is very responsive and friendly. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

Find us

Kernville is a great spot to get your steps in. We are located about a mile from downtown. The river shore is only a half mile away. Whiskey Flats is about three quarters of a mile. It's also a perfect place to ride your bikes, especially if you're a mountain biker. There's free parking everywhere, but keep in mind that it get's really tight near Frandy park, so get there early to grab a spot. Once there everything is walkable.
