This place felt like a hidden gem. Even with being a bit of an older property, the location was great. The rooms with the private deck facing the river were so peaceful. Loved the gas fire place too.

We’ve stayed here before and like the previous visit, the rooms were clean and comfortable. We stayed in Room 10 and one of the bathroom sinks was clogged and the fan sounded like it was broken. I would recommend these are fixed.

Love Kernville and Whispering Pines Lodge

Since 2023, we’ve been coming back to Kernville annually. Whispering Pines Lodge is the only place we considered staying at. We’ve travelled to many places, stayed at various hotels/inns/cottages but never stayed in the same place 2x except at Whispering Pines Lodge. It’s like home away from home, a sanctuary when we want to decompress and just relax.
