Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B. Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What a dream! This gorgeous rental is the bottom floor of a multi-level house that's right on the mighty Kern River, which is visible (and audible) from every room except one of the bedrooms. A few friends and I stayed for my birthday weekend and found the unit clean, the towels numerous and the beds comfortable. But the best part was by far the 4-level outdoor space, which had everything you need to lounge, eat with a view, hammock, start a fire pit and fish/float in the eddies right outside. I've only ever camped on the Kern before so being in a jacuzzi with a view of the river and mountains was beyond bliss (even if you could hear the late-night parties happening downriver). One note: If you are planning to cook for 4 people for every meal, bring a large pot or pan as the kitchen is stocked with a basic medium cookware set. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ffb26f15-b772-426f-bb81-dafefde67b33-1760371705935.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah B.
