What a charming place! Staff were very helpful when we had a little trouble with the self check-in, and my requested rollaway bed was in the room and ready to go. The Kern River scenery is beautiful; the lodge is right across from the river. Perfect for our family of four -- we all got a good night's sleep and woke up ready to explore.

We stayed in the 2nd floor suite and it was fantastic! The rooms had comfortable beds, bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Kitchen had everything needed for a family of 4. The view of the river was great. Convenient parking and access. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Tried to sleep in on a Saturday morning after a week of travel, but were disturbed by a haggard old woman running a lawn mower right outside our window starting at 9AM. As if that was the only time that could be done, Pretty much ruined an otherwise OK stay.

Great riverfront property, the pinecone suite room was quaint yet sizeable. It was nice having a full kitchen with all the necessary supplies to both eat and get my food nice and cold before heading out to camp. The staff was very responsive and helpful when I had an issue opening the door (my fault not theirs, I am terrible at code-opened doors :-p ). Definitely recommend, and great price too! Super easy access to the river park and downtown shops and dining.
