Spacious, clean and comfortable. Booked last minute and really enjoyed our stay. Loved the convenience of having the river directly in front as well as the town right behind us. We will definitely be coming back!

Thank you for a good night’s rest
I really enjoyed my stay. I spent the night in the Pinecone Room, and I was very comfortable and rested well. The room is very charming and clean. I look forward to staying here again should my travels bring me back through Kernville.
