About this cabin rental

This riverfront cabin in Kernville has everything! The backyard is the river with a beach area, hiking, fishing, rafting, tubing, skiing, horseback riding, or just sit in the river with a beer and some friends! With sleeping space for 12, there is ample room for groups and families. Lake Isabella is 15 minutes away for added fun! Premium cable, high speed internet and wifi. 3,000 sq ft of living space and newly remodeled with a gourmet kitchen, giant bathrooms, an outdoor rain shower, and very comfortable beds, there is no other rental in the area that has these amenities and a sandy beach right out the backdoor.

Two large master suites, both with sliding glass doors onto a huge second story balcony for star gazing and morning coffee. Third guest bedroom has a queen bed. There is a triple bunk bed with a full size mattress on the bottom. Additional sleeping space includes a 15' indoor teepee with a custom mattress; sleeps 2 adults or 4 children. Extra large Juvee pack n' play is provided. All bedrooms have luxury linens and lots of pillows. The bathrooms all have large walk-in showers with river rock detail and are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Small kids nook upstairs is stocked with books and toys. Whether you are looking for a base for daily outdoor adventures or a quiet nature retreat, this LUXURY cabin has something for everyone.

The cabin has been lovingly remodeled and has exclusively been used by family previously. It is immaculate and stocked like a family home with everything you need from spices, cookware, folding chairs, towels, shampoo and soap, etc... There is a separate beverage/wine fridge. Most condiments and cooking essentials are already here and for your use.

NEW: The downstairs patio area has a new patio set with seating for six and a propane fire pit. There is also a brand new propane grill. High speed internet and WIFI enabled, plus cable channels, Starz and Showtime. Mountain internet and cable service can be spotty, please understand this before booking. If you must have internet at all times, the mountains might not be the best place for you.

The Area: Kernville is 5 minutes down the road and has lots of shops, bars, and eateries. Most holiday weekends there is a festival going on in the center of town with food trucks and local artisan vendors. There is also a community park right on the river with lots of grass, picnic tables, basketball court, and playground. There is a binder in the cabin with activity brochures, hiking maps, and restaurant menus, along with other miscellaneous information about the area.

Lake Isabella is a fisherman's paradise with competitions happening regularly. Swimming, boating, jet skiing etc... There are jet skis and boats for rent at the dock.

The Pacific Crest Trail is right down the road. The Kern River Brewery is in town and has some amazing beer - try the Sequoia Red!My favorite hike to a small waterfall and slide rock is 20 minutes up the road. The Trail of 100 Giants is 30 minutes up the road, a must see if you have never seen the giant Sequoias. Alta Sierra, the local ski resort, is less than thirty minutes away and is very fun in the winter.

I am familiar with many hikes and unique things to do in the area and am more than happy to answer any questions. This has been a magical place for our family and we want our guests to love it too!

This property was terrific for our family! Very kid friendly with lots of toys and activities for kids to do both inside and outside. Very comfortable and spacious. Just be aware that the popular Sequoia National Park areas like General Sherman are 3 to 4 hours away.

We always wanted to stay @ Lazy Crane. We always stay at the Sequoia Lodge next door and have seen the house over the years. We did enjoy our stay, location is great spot to enjoy the river. There were many amenities with a lot of space and there were also some issues with the non working ice maker and wine refrigerator. Upon our arrival my brother and his wife started unpacking and discovered dog/cat poop on the floor (owner could only say weird?) and the beginning of a rat/mouse nest in the dresser drawer (this is why I rated the cleanliness low). We could hear the rodent at night in the walls/ceiling at, we did realize we were basically in nature, and I reported it to the owner. The lock box was a little difficult to open and we actually found the house unlocked at the side door. If you are traveling with adults only - the Tipi and bunks are located in a common loft area outside the 3 bedrooms, perfect for the younger visitors. We will always visit the Kern River, not sure if we will stay here, it was okay.

This is it, Book this house! Custom built property with so many bells and whistles I’m not sure we even discovered them all. The house is very well stocked with every kitchen utensil and toy a family could need. My girls especially enjoyed the Huge sleeping Tee-pee and dipping their toes in the river. My husband appreciated the tri-tip sandwiches at the general store/ cafe across the street. S’mores and fishing and reading a book curled up by the fire….. we will def be back! Also the host was super responsive and easy to plan with.
