Bring Bear Spray. The Space Welcome to Piedras Hermosas, a vintage 1970s split-level home that blends retro charm with modern convenience. The Great Room is designed for fun and relaxation with a large leather sectional, pool table, dart board, smart TV, wet bar, plus books and board games. Gather in the dining area or relax by the wood-burning fireplace on winter nights. Off the dining room, a sun-filled solarium opens to the refreshing pool (unheated, May–Sept). The kitchen is stocked with essentials to make meals easy. Outdoor Adventures: The Kern River is perfect for fishing, kayaking, and tubing—but safety first: the current is very strong. Life jackets are required. You’ll also find hiking trails nearby and Lake Isabella, a short drive away, popular for kite surfing. Kernville’s shops, restaurants, and bars are just a mile down the road. Safety: This is a split-level home with stairs, balconies, and a pool, all of which carry inherent risks.
