We booked a last minute spring break to to Kernville, with a central event of a full day rafting trip. It was our first trip to the Kern river as life long Californians. We were so happy to find this gem to make our base camp. The home was perfect for our family of four, all the basic necessities, clean, and beautiful property. We would definitely come back and stay again. Thank you!

We love the mountain fresh air and the forest area and Kernville is a perfect mountain town to enjoy these features, and one of the best vrbo rentals in kernville would be the little river house it is very accommodating very clean and the host is always responsive to any needs. The location of the home is perfect close to trails,town and the river is right outside the back patio which also a great spot to enjoy. Always looking forward for another visit. THANKS MARIO AND LINDA

We are a family of three, with our pup, visiting Kernville for the first time. What a beautiful area! It is definitely a peaceful, quiet and a friendly community, especially in the winter months. We enjoyed easy access to hiking and the National park as well as the local brewery and cafe. The hosts have done a terrific job of creating a lovely home with plenty of space and well-appointed rooms. We really enjoyed the rockers on the back porch and staring at the night sky. I definitely recommend!

Great time. We went every day to day use up the river. It would be really cool if the owners would clear their river front property

Perfect getaway
Everything about this house was fantastic. It's beautiful online but the pictures don't do it justice. The inside of the house was clean, spacious, updated, and comfortable. The owners even include wonderful little touches like mini Kind bars, backpacks, and headlamps for guests to use. Location wise, the house felt very peaceful and private but was still close to town. Overall, we couldn't have asked for anything more!

Paradise on the Kern River
What a gem! This home and property are beautiful and the owners were great communicators! This was our first time in the area and Karin was so helpful and shared many tips about the area to enhance our stay. The house is lovely - clean and stocked with everything you need. The outdoor spaces are spectacular with an outdoor eating level and lounging area on the first level and another relaxing area on the second level. We enjoyed walks along the river pathway, the private beach, and flyfishing directly in front of the property! We will be back!

Paradise on the Kern River
When looking for a cabin to rent on the Kern River we could only hope for a place that was as great as the pictures posted…this is that place!! It is even better than the pictures. The River Cabin had all that is needed to have a clean, comfortable stay. The proximity to town made this stay very convenient. The grocery store, which is 5 minutes down the road had everything you could need. From your fishing license to one of the best ribeye steaks ever grilled. Karin, the Host was quick to answer the phone. The attention to detail and the pride of ownership was everywhere in the cabin and the three levels outside to where we could just be able to sit and listen to the river and relax. We plan on staying here in the future. A helpful hint is to look through every cabinet and closet to find all equipment and supplies available to you. We went to the store twice for coffee Kcups when there is a drawer literally full of them!

Best Cabin!
We had the best time at the cabin! Since the start of the pandemic, my partner and I have been staying at a lot of rentals with our dog and my sister and her partner. We all agreed this was by far the best one we’ve stayed at. Loved how clean everything was and so many thoughtful touches by the owner that made the cabin even more cozy. We had such a great time fishing and hiking!! Make sure to check out Kernville brewery for yummy beers. Will definitely come back again!

Amazing river rental
We loved our stay at this rental. The place looked like it was just built and it has a very stylish aesthetic that compliments the river side scenery. The inside of the rental was also beautifully and meticulously furnished with all the trappings you would need for a AAA river getaway. The kitchen is very spacious for cooling your own meals with everything you would need and the Weber gas bbq on the outside patio came in handy for some grilled meats. A short stroll to the riverside or about a 5 minute walk to Bubble Beach this place was the perfect location for our family that wanted to getaway from the city and hang at the river. Highly recommended we’ll be back!

Amazing location, immaculately maintained & beautiful river!
I can't say enough good things about this property! Home is darling and comfortable with a great kitchen. The views of the hills and the river are beautiful with nice decking and outside areas to enjoy the outdoors. The owners were very responsive and welcoming. This is a perfect set up for a small family or 2 couples.
We hope to come back again soon!

Amazing!
This property is amazing. Shortly after arriving, we were already discussing when we could visit again! As nice as the photos are, they don’t capture the high ceilings, spaciousness, and comfort of the home. The home has private river frontage and the river views from the home are stunning . The home is perfectly located. A short drive 5 min from downtown Kernville for convenience yet far away enough to be surrounded by nature. We can’t wait to return to this special place.

Fantastic stay
We had a lovely family getaway to Kernville with our lab. The boys fished (didn't catch anything) and explored and even did their online schooling. Wifi was great. Kitchen was well stocked. We appreciated the little touches the owner added. The house was very clean. We've stayed in many vacation rentals and this is probably the best one so far. The river is really what makes the town of Kernville so beautiful. We hope to be back and catch some fish next time.

An amazing place to stay!
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Roomy, comfortable, modern home with everything we needed. A great location and responsive host. The river very close - a short walk from the back porch. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Outstanding
This house is absolutely amazing. The location is wonderful. So nice to be right next to the river. It was so well stocked, lacked absolutely nothing, in fact, owners have gone above and beyond with this property. So wonderful to sit on the deck at night and hear the river. We have stayed in many, many rental properties and this one is at the top of the list. We will definitely stay again. Hosts were wonderful. Thank you!

Great family trip along the river!
Awesome - and CLEAN! - property along the river in Kernville. The home is in amazing condition, the beds are comfy and the property was so much fun. There’s a really family friendly beach a short walk away down the oath along the river. Was perfect for our family of 4! And the owners answered all of our questions during the booking process. Thank you!!
