Meadowlands Cottage, a quaint bungalow attached to the main house, overlooks the lawns and fields. Guests can swim in the river’s seasonal swimming hole, relax in the cedar hot tub under starry skies, or enjoy the zip line and rustic wood burning stove with endless firewood. The MAIN BEDROOM features a queen bed, ensuite bath, and built-in curtained bunk with a wall-mounted TV—perfect for kids or privacy. The BATHROOM has a tile floor, walk-in shower, and vaulted ceiling, with doors to both the bedroom and hall. A sound-insulated central door connects to the neighboring Mountain View listing. For larger groups, both it and the nearby Shiny Spartan trailer can be rented along with the cottage. The cozy DEN doubles as a second bedroom or living room, with twin beds, a sitting area, TV, and potbelly stove with ranch-cut firewood. At the heart of the house, the KITCHENETTE offers a stovetop, two mini-fridges, toaster oven, microwave, sink, and laundry facilities. Guests have private use of the cottage and are welcome to explore the fenced grounds. Shared outdoor spaces include the hot tub, river, lawns, barns, and trails. A dedicated groundskeeper visits daily to care for the horses. I don’t live on-site but remain attentive and responsive. My husband and I have worked in horses and hospitality for over 20 years, and I was honored with the Hero Award from XXX in 2014\. While this historic property occasionally has quirks, I strive to make every stay memorable and comfortable. Nature provides its own magic here—deer at sunset, children chasing frogs in the mint field, or herons gliding over the meadows. Kernville Ranch offers families a unique mix of comfort, history, and wide-open beauty. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104010000/104001600/104001596/deac5921.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Valhalla House, Luxury Home, 1mi to Downtown, 4 BR, Game Room, Hot Tub, Backyard Kernville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-23&endDate=2025-12-24&selected=104001596&PinnedHotelID=104001596&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63120000/63110300/63110289/add48e8a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Cabin - Spring Special 20% off Weekly Stay Wofford Heights - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $808 CA $1,161 total includes taxes & fees Dec 10 - Dec 11 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-10&endDate=2025-12-11&selected=63110289&PinnedHotelID=63110289&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90770000/90763100/90763071/c472b941.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Loft Cottage, w/ bedroom, close to Kern River.
