- "Perfect"

This 3,541 sq. ft. luxury log home is in the Sequoia National Forest and the Scenic Kern River. It has 3 bedrooms and a loft, 3 baths and a vanity, and accommodate up to 12 guests in beds. Can sleep more if needed. This is one of top homes in Kernville, California. It has also been voted the number one home in Riverkern by the local residence. We love Green and Green, and Frank Lloyd Right. This is our reflection of a great home that we would think Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud of. This lodge is in the Sequoia National Forest. If you have a problem with wild life, ants and spiders you may not want to stay in the forest. This place is very comfortable and reasonably priced to stay, and it sleeps the most people in the Kern River Valley. If your looking for a Trump Hotel with gold fixtures, this is not your place.

-------------------------------------PERFECT SAFE ZONE -------------------------------------------

All Surfaces are wiped down with beach and water, such as the floor, all door knobs, all surfaces, the bathroom, and bleach in laundry. We supply hand sanitizer, and plenty of toilet paper. It is the a perfect safe zone for your family to be safe. The best way to stay away from the flu is to go where the population is low and against the national forest by the river. It is the perfect get away. Staying in our lodge to get away from large cities is also a great vacation opportunity too.

8-29-22 Rachelle comments. Thanks for the comments Rachelle,
1. Lights down stairs not working. I am sorry about the lights. They are located behind the bar under the bar top with dimmers. I do mention this in the "Hello Letter" we send to folks when they schedule a reservation. We will try to make this more apparent to future guests that the sliders need to be in the up position for brightness.
2. We have gone out and got curtains for all the bedrooms and the bathrooms that needed curtains! Thanks for that input and we now have curtains in all the bedrooms and bathrooms for more privacy.
3. We advise maid service to pay attention to details in cleaning,, whip down cobwebs. The spots have been removed from the carpet.. The maid service has been advised. We are looking into new carpet right now.
4. I will remind Maid Service to make sure the previous folks left the cupboards, pot and pans and knives a re clean orderly.
5. We purchased all new bedding for the lodge!

7/12/25
Purchased all new bedding and new beds for the new bedroom in the basement.

8-25-25
Gloria made a few complaints. The lights to the back porch do work. There is a light switch in the master bedroom and at the back door of the dinning room. We have a swamp cooler and the temps in the house is in the 70's. If you like your place in the 60's you may want to go somewhere else. All the bedding is new... I bought more pool sticks for playing pool with. Please refrain from smashing my pool sticks because you missed a shot.

My knobs to the doors are upside down???? Wow.... I installed them and Gloria is the first person in 10 years to bring this up. I think they look great! I'm not changing them,

Replaced seating with new patio furniture on the back porch.

General Description of the Cabin:
Relax by the river on a soft, sandy beach. Fall asleep to the sound of water flowing by and wake up to the mountains right outside your windows. The large master bedroom looks out over the river and back yard and includes an en suite bathroom and dressing area. The large front room is not only the great room with kitchen, dining and living areas, but also has two twin beds built into the wall leading to a second bathroom with a shower. With the queen bed in the master, the two twin beds and the queen sized fold out couch in the living room, there is sleeping room for six people. Although the kitchen is well stocked with most things you would need to cook and serve your meals, there are also many restaurants close by. One, the Riverkern General Store is right across the street! There are several more to choose from in nearby Kernville, a quaint, cute, walkable small town. Some menus are included in the Welcome Book.
You will be spoiled for choice as to what to do while you are here.
Activities on the property itself:
You can, of course, just choose to just relax on the deck or the beach. The River is literally in your backyard, its mood changing with the season from a raging, exciting torrent in the spring that requires professional guides (see the Welcome Book for professional whitewater guiding recommendations), to a lazy wading and fishing venue later in the late summer.
Activities nearby:
Isabella Lake, just 15 minutes to the south, stands ready to give you the opportunity to fish, kite or wind surf, water ski, Stand Up Paddleboard, sail, or swim. Its moods vary with the season from brimming full in the Spring to lower in the fall and winter.
The Giant Sequoias are just an hour up the river to the north. There the Walk of a Hundred Giants provides a handicap friendly trail to enable all to enjoy these mighty red wood trees.
Alta Sierra, at 8000 ft is just a 45 min drive to the west. This local high altitude mountain is beautiful all year ‘round. It has often has enough snow in the winter for Shirley Meadow Ski area to open up as well snow on cross country ski trails and sledding slopes. When there is no snow, hiking, and mountain biking trails abound.
Between adventures, you and your family have plenty of room to gather in the cabin’s backyard under the covered patio or on two decks overlooking the River and shaded by a grand old oak tree. Plan to take your morning coffee or evening dessert on the decks to watch the sunrise or sunset paint the mountains in a beautiful play of lights and shadows.

- "This cabin is very clean, cozy and right on the Kern River.
