Kernville, CA

Travel Guide

Rafting the Kern River. Even though this year has been dry in California, there's still enough water for some fun. #weekendgetaway
Drought sucks
I was sitting on top of a rocky hill over looking Isabella lake waiting for the sunrise when I noticed the sun shining between the rock and bush.

Interaction with host was great, very helpful. This cabin has a lot of terrific windows that gives an open feeling and comfortable. It snowed during our stay and having a carport worked out well, as did the 2 huge covered porches. This property is well maintained inside and out.

Would recommend Cheryl’s Diner for breakfast or lunch! Not a lot to do in town, but there are places to hike, camping and water sports available.

Kernville is a nice little town. It's a great place to come and relax, go hiking, rafting and in the winter it's close to the skiing in Alta Sierra.

5/5 - Excellent

I truly love this place, the people. I want to move here eventually. Maybe in a couple months if I can find somewhere to live.
