Basic room. Had all the necessities. Staff was great; very friendly and helpful. My kids loved the pool. Nice touch that there were pool floaties. The location was perfect. Walking distance to water rafting company and many dining options in the area made this an ideal place.

You can sleep here if you have to be in Kernville. An eye mask will help with the all-night-long blinking lights outside. Walkable to some restaurants.
