Very friendly and helpful. We had a double booking, and they ypgraded me for free instead of cancelling! Im coming in off thebPCT, and they also let me ship a package to their office and pick it up a week later! Smiles and friendly communication the whole way. The property is cute, rustic and right across trom the river. Near the diner and post office. Great spot!

We had the best experience ever here, it was absolutely perfect! I’m definitely coming back again. It was very convenient, the parking was excellent and the amount of activities and restaurants around the area were so amazing. Close walking distance to just about everything you may need.

Cute little place almost off the grib

Cute little place, great for me, my wife and dog. Only small issues. Wifi was not trustworthy, only worth mentioning if you are trying to work remote from here. Both mornings at 6am I was awoken by music coming from the diner workers from the adjacent alley. It did last long just enough to wake me up.

Another lively stay in Kernville. I stayed in the cabin in the rear of the property. It is charming, roomy, and very comfortable. I slept well and look forward to my next visit.

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.
