This is an older motel property but has been maintained well. It is like a small step back in time. It's not new and fancy, but cozy and charming. Right next to the park and the river and across the street from downtown businesses.

It's a great place to stay. Our room was a bit small and with virtually no place to work on the laptop. The bathroom was very nice. Everything was clean and neat.

Kernville- what a lovely surprise!

We had a great time on this last minute trip. This quaint inn was central to everything and it was lovely to hear the river right outside our front door. Already looking forward to coming back to this random little treasure of a town named Kernville.

This has been the best places I've stayed at in kernville, the cabin was cozy and so close to everything, we walked to the river, we walked to the bar and the diner for breakfast. I used the kitchen in our Cancun to make breakfast and we ate in our little patio. Great experience.

If it’s available, we always like staying here. So happy they will take dogs now access to the park along the river and many restaurant choices walk right next-door, and have grapefruit and Cheryl’s! Right in the main part of Kernville.
