Top Kernville Hotel Reviews

SoCal Camping

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super friendly, the beds were very comfortable, the sheets smelled like bleach (which I love), the river view was awesome, fire pit provided and fan, bathrooms clean and well appointed, outside showers were pretty cool (summer). We felt safe"

Riverfront 2BR w/ Saline Hot Tub, Private Beach & Walkable Kernville

10/10 Excellent

"We are so happy we found this gem of a rental in Kernville on the river, it was worth every dollar! The view of the river from the windows and the outdoor area were absolutely stunning! The cleanliness and decor made it very comfortable. We will definitely rent here again. "

Riverview Lodge

8/10 Good

"The best thing about this rustic little lodge is the location! You have a private beach on the Kern River right outside the room! The owners are super chill and friendly! The AC was working its ass off to keep us cool on 95+ days but boy was it LOUD!! We literally had to go get earplugs😆 All in all, a lovely little family owned lodge for all of your Kernville adventures."

Cozy 2 Bedroom home in the heart of Kernville

8/10 Good

"We stayed in this adorable 2-bedroom house for our river rafting trip in Kernville and it was a fantastic base. The place is genuinely cute and comfortable, with everything we needed after a long day on the water.The AC was excellent it got the house nice and cold, which felt amazing when we came back hot and tired from rafting. Lots of parking was another big plus; we never had any trouble fitting multiple vehicles.The house was clean, well-kept, and had a cozy, welcoming feel. Location worked great for getting to the river, and coming home to a cool, comfortable space made the whole trip better. Communication with the host was smooth.Highly recommend this place if you’re heading to Kernville for rafting (or just want a cute, practical 2-bedroom rental with strong AC and plenty of parking). We’d happily stay again!"
