Guest Reviews
- Fred (8/5): - Nice place to stay! There was a problem with our reservation and they fixed it and upgraded our room. Thanks for the nice stay.
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Old school Charm
- Steven (10/5): - Clean, quiet and very nice!
- Nancy (10/5): Love this place - The room was clean and comfortable. The staff I didnt really interact with except Barry the manager i really liked him. My cabin was way better than I expected big and roomy i had the double room with the patio. My dog was with me and she settled right in. Not all rooms are pet friendly but that is understandable.
- David (10/5): - It was great.
- Brian (10/5): - Very quaint updated old style rooms, dedicated parking spot right out front of the room. The pool was great. Easy walking to everywhere you want to go in Kernville.
- Manuel (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Marvina (10/5): - Location was perfect to Kern River where my family was camping. Great rate, clean and comfortable spacious room. Will be staying here again next year.
- Deborah (10/5): Retro feel in Ketnville - Wonderfully maintained vintage feel. So, so cute felt like l was in a 1950s lake cabin. Lots of pride in appearance. They were able to get me in even though had overbooked.
- Jeff (8/5): Great motor inn - The staff was friendly and well located
- Amy (10/5): - Great location
- Jacky (10/5): Nice Wooden Themed Room - Very nice stay! Clean and quiet room. The wooden themed room is definitely a very unique touch. Walkable distance to downtown kernville and Kern River. Will definitely stay here again!
- Doug (4/5): - Will avoid
- Verified traveler (6/5): 10 hour stay was worth the money. - Upon arrival, nobody at front desk, had to call a phone number for key. 9pm Upon entry to the room, zero toilet paper, tissue, etc. Had to call again. A bonus was a great A/C that kept the room comfortable the whole night. The shower was not appealing so we choose not to shower in the morning and go straight to river rafting. Location was great and price for 10 hours was just right.
- Jose (10/5): - I love this place The staff is very friendly.
- Matthew (10/5): - We were able to check in early with no problems. Our stay here has been excellent!
- Emily (10/5): - Comfortable, clean, full of character, and close to everything in town. We loved our stay here!
- George (6/5): - Convenient. Tv did not work. Missing shower knob. Half of spool of toilet paper
- Cindy (8/5): - Loved the lodge did need a bit of maintenance. Remote didn’t work. And the power was cut off by the power company every day from as early as 11am till midnight for 2 nights one night it did come back on at 6:30. This was not the lodges fault. The whole town was without power. But as far as the lodge itself I loved it and would recommend.
- Angel (10/5): - Everything was well maintained and clean.
- Teresa (2/5): Electricity was out - Unable to stay here, we had to cancel due to electricity going out
- Teri (8/5): - The hotel and the room was very cute and iconic. The manager was a great guy. The power was out in town when I got there. The manager ran a generator so that my room had air conditioning because I had my dog. The bed was rather uncomfortable and only 2 tiny pillows. There was only two thin tiny bath towels. And the shower drain was stopped up. So bring your own pillows and towels.
- Karen (2/5): Refund - There was an old gentleman working that could not handle the guests. There was no shampoo soap,toilet paper etc. in the bathroom. We had to go up and wait just to receive these items. They allowed a bunch of teens from outside the hotel to come swim, which caused our kids to have to leave the whole point of staying was to enjoy the pool which we didn’t get to I complained and they made Them leave, but it was already too late. I wanna request at least half of a refund.
- Cruz (10/5): - It was very comfortable and clean
- Hui (10/5): - Safe choice of the Sierra gate
- Christina (4/5): - This was probably once a very nice place to stay but to be honest it wasn’t great. The game room was a mess a lot of games broken the cleanliness of the
- Jennifer (10/5): - Quick check in, staff very helpful
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Our stay was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent location. Would stay there again
- Wynn (4/5): - No toilet paper, TV cable box not set up, microwave quit working, dark room- not enough lighting Bed was comfortable
- Fatima (10/5): - It's close to the river. We've been camping at Camp 3 for over 20 years. This time, we wanted to sleep comfortably and be close to the river to enjoy it more. The second night, they helped us light the BBQ and make a campfire. The gentleman was very kind.
- Alfred (10/5): The kern lodge way - Room had a good smell clean room lots of space and correct amenities
- Mary (4/5): - When we got there no one in office ok fine. Rang bell called number on website but said disconnected. Finally got help he asked why I didn’t call number written on door. I told him I called number on website. He says in a bothered attitude that doesn’t work. Didn’t give us room we paid for. So go to room maid still inside says it’s not really so went and waited in heat. Check in is 3:00 we got there 3:30. The room looked ok. The shower had black mole in grout. They are supposed to clean room everyday. Never got service. Had to go to office and get clean towels and toilet paper. What it comes down to if you want a clean room a working tv and quite. Don’t come here.
- JoanMarie (10/5): - The Kern Lodge is cute, comfortable and a great value. It's an old family style lodge. The rooms are good sized and clean. Maybe not the best bed but all 5 of us slept just fine. Location is walkable to literally everything. I can't say enough nice things about the gentlemen who runs the place. We will be back!.
- Kristin (10/5): - I took my mom, son and small dog to visit Kern River for their first time. Both of them were weary of tent camping, so we decided to stay at the Kern Lodge. The room had the feel of a cabin and was very simple. Bed's were comfortable, room came with Keurig, coffee pods, small fridge, microwave, shampoo, body wash. The hotel grounds were very cute. There was a courtyard with a bonfire pit, there was a giant chess board, giant checker board. The walls are not thin where you hear everything going around outside. James Store was walking distance, Pizza Barn was walking distance. The front desk was helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here and we will be staying there again next year.
- Enrique (4/5): - Checked in and received keys to room. Walked into an unclean living room with trash and bed sheets not changed. Went to management who asked for an additional hour to clean our room. After this time had passed, bed sheets still had hair, pillow case had a stain and the single toilet also had hair. The fold out couch was impossible to sleep upon, as the bars pushed through a thin mattress. This same couch had tape that covered apparent tears in it. Rather than stay the night, we opted to take the 3.5 hour ride back home. This was a forgettable stay would never book at this location again. The gentleman at the front desk was nice and professional.
- Jessie (6/5): - Wouldn’t be my first choice!
- Michael (10/5): - Great
- Junior (2/5): No electricity - Windy conditions during our stay meant they shut down the power. We had no electricity for about 10-12 hrs each day.
- Erin (4/5): - Didn’t feel clean even though it looked clean enough because the body wash and soap dispensers not refilled, no toilet paper, no paper towels, bad bed, air wouldn’t set to cool below 77 degrees in a hot place! Not central air, noisy, tiny shower & room advertised as bigger than it was! Wont stay here again.
- Belen (4/5): - The lodge looks quint and presentable. However the dispenser in the shower had dropped. The drain cover was not screwed in and exposed the drain partially. The air conditioner was leaking and making noises. When I went to the front office it was unlocked but no one present to alert them about the issues. Finally about 30 minutes of looking and waiting for somone to show up I saw a person go into the office side door. Imediately I went to the door and the individual answered. I was given towels to address the leaking from the air conditioner and apologies for the dispenser and drain cover problem. I brought up the coffee as well and was given coffee filters. Personally I would not advise anyone to book here. Poor service. Hard to find assistance. No reply from office.
- GHO21 (8/5): Super cabin, great location - The cabins are in a great location, within walking distance (2 mins) of a fully stocked supermarket, and 1 minute to the brewery. The cabin is clean and comfortable, with a lovely comfy bed, and decent kitchen facilities. The air conditioning works well, and kept the cabin lovely and cool in the summer heat. The pool is clean and well presented, and we used it every day during our 4 night stay. There is limited shade around the pool. We used the gas bbq in the little garden area to cook our tea one night, having bought delicious steaks from the supermarket close by. We think these cabins are excellent value for money and would happily stay again in the future.
- Jeffrey (6/5): Friendly but the property is not good. - The peoperty is okay but they used bedding that had already been used by other guests and was stained without washing. The stove in the kitchen did not work and the fixtures inside were very old and not in good working order.
- Samamtha (10/5): - Love this place would definitely go back
- Anthony (10/5): - Staff was great
- Jeanne (10/5): - Bruce was @ the ready, even though we had a very late arrival!
- Michael (10/5): - Clean. Rustic and convenient
- Eri (8/5): I would recommend it and would definitely stay aga - I went with my family the rooms were comfortable and bathrooms were clean and the pool was a plus but needed a bit more cleaning
- Rick (8/5): - There is a major problem in this area during wind or heat periods , Edison shuts off the power for long periods of time , closing restaurants , shops and gas stations . Ac and lights to your hotel room
- Verified traveler (2/5): Unprofessional, Disappointing, Worst Choice EVER! - My group of 6 booked the family suite for our weekend stay. Unknown to us before we arrived, SCE turns off the power in Kernville due to high winds...completely understandable. When we arrived on Friday evening, the hotel generator was running and we had power, but not everyone did. SCE later restored power around 8 pm. The following day, we arrived back at the hotel at 5 pm with no power & the generator was not being utilized. No one was in the office; they did not answer the cell phone number on the window, but did finally answer a text regarding the generator. When asking when the generator would be turned on, the only response was "between 8 - 10." We were left for 5 hours without power, a candle, a lantern, etc. SCE turned the power on at 9:30 pm. We spent 3 hours in the dark! Why was the generator not used this night?! Why were we not told ahead of time about the electricity situation?! In addition, for a party of 6, we were provided 4 bath towels/3 wash clothes/2 slivers of soap/no Kleenex, or extra toilet paper. There were no paper towels, kitchen towels, or extra trash bags in the kitchen. We had one frying pan, 3 cooking utensils, & no coffee. Moreover, we received no service to make our beds, change out towels, or empty our trash. When checking in, I had to call a cell phone for someone to come to the front desk, my ID was never asked for, and no one was available at checkout. Kern Lodge does not care about their patrons and is unprofessional!!
- Erin (10/5): - The power was out for most of the day, but the hotel was very accommodating. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
- Virginia (10/5): - Loved the interior log cabin feel.
- edgar (10/5): - Very close to everything, very clean
- John (10/5): - Really enjoyed the hotel, town and vibe
- Susan (10/5): - Cabin like rooms, very cute, clean. Convenient, restraunts, brewery walking distance. The town is cute, nice time rafting on the river.
- Dennis (10/5): - Good value for money.
- Thomas (2/5): - We booked this hotel on Hotels.com months in advance, but when we arrived, they had not reserved us a room. They could see our reservation, but had double booked, and we had to drive an hour to another location. Worse, they refused to communicate with Hotels.com about authorizing a refund. Go somewhere else!
- Maria (10/5): - Ovet all excellent my room so nice
- Sierra (10/5): - Honestly loved almost everything about this quaint little lodge- the themed rooms are so cute, the aesthetic is vintage and woodsy and I will definitely be back! My only qualm was the lack of humna-to-human communication with the actual Lodge staff.. I couldnt reach anyone via phone, email, even Facebook pre-stay. But once I got there, Bruce was so lovely and helpful and pleasant!
- Mark (10/5): - Right next to kernville brewery
- sandra (10/5): - nice and quiet place
- Hui (10/5): - Very nice location on the gate of serria, center of kernville small town to get every easy. Clean and well organized by kind management team.
- Max (6/5): - The room was fine, nice wood paneling, quiet, but the TV was hard to use, the internet not working and the faucet would not turn off. Mainly it was the common areas, office and grounds that were neglected and shabby. Too bad; the location was fine and the place has potential for the right manager.
- Scott (10/5): - Very nice road side motel in the heart of Kernville.
- Tiffany (10/5): Lovely room - I loved how spacious the room was for a family of 5 and wish we couldve longer. Everything we needed was met in a timely manner.
- Nancy (10/5): - NICE STAY
- Brandon (4/5): - Gave away my room and gave me a smaller room at check-in. No hot water and some of the lights didn’t work. There were dead cockroaches on the floors. The TV didn’t work and the room smelled like a skunk.
- Jeremy (6/5): - Unique property. Many things not working in the unit we were assigned (and apparently the room we actually booked hasn't been properly working for months per the front desk staff). Super informal checkin checkout process. Pluses: AC worked well, close to activities, and ample room to park. Was tolerable for a one night stay and early am departure
- Will (8/5): Cute but not so comfy. - Very cute little kitchen..the only complaint was the pillows were flat as a pancake! Lol
- Wendell (4/5): Poor Communications - Direcr TV not working and was not informed of this upon check in, it was two of us,,had to request two keys, Never received receipt to my email adtess which i requested 3 times.
- Brandy (10/5): - Great little lodge. Small town atmosphere and the lodge fits in perfectly. Great view and very clean.
- Michelle (6/5): - This property was very cute and quiet, but the property claimed to have WiFi and TV, but neither of these worked. The TVs were down in both rooms I booked. The WiFi also didn’t work which was unfortunate. Otherwise this property is in a great area and the check in check out process is simple.
- Israel (10/5): - Nice place to stay, restaurants, liquor store, market are close by just walking
- Michele (2/5): - Dirty good in mocrowave pod in coffee machine floor dirty, overbooked no ice, tv didnt work.....
- James (6/5): - Only had warm water. No cable TV
- Aleks (6/5): - The toilet was clogged for almost half of the stay, our reservation was changed last minute due to overbooking. Cable was not working.
- luis (4/5): - Wasnt the best stay, wasnt the worst. The location is great but the room needed attention. There were socket and light switches with out covers, the light in the kitchen area was confusing to turn on and the tvs didnt have any service and i had to buy my own batteries for the tv remote.
- Ken (4/5): - It’s was disappointing, room was good, property was disappointing.
- Robert (4/5): - property is very old, unkept. very low on amenities in the room. Will not stay there again.
- James (4/5): - Have stayed here ~5-6 times over past 8-10 years. Management & staff seem always different and increasingly incompetent. Conditions have deteriorated each succeeding year. Finally, I cannot see any reason to accept this property in the future.
- gayle (8/5): - The beds are comfortable. The staff was helpful
- scott (8/5): - Had a restful stay
- Roxanne (8/5): - The Lodge is adorable with quaint furnishings but does have updated air/heating too. There is a pool area and a large fire pit/BBQ area, which one could take advantage of in summer months, which I may just do!
- Rickey (6/5): - Liked View, cozy, functional, location. Didn't like dirty floors, noisy neighbors no insulation.
- Dennis (6/5): - The office staff wasn’t very professional
- 841ashtonn (10/5): Kernville Lodge - It had a good view and lots of hiking everything’s beautiful, the sunshine, the grass to walk around go fishing go to the rodeo grounds ride horses there’s a swimming pool or hot tub. Everything that you would like. But it was the best thing I experienced you should guys go try it out It was not that expensive. It’s affordable great views.
- Maria (8/5): - Great room for the price. Comfortable bedding
- D (4/5): - I have received continuous emails and texts since my stay a week ago asking for a review, so i guess i need to leave a review so that i will be left alone. The room was freezing cold when we entered, a window was left wide open. The hot water never got hot enough to shower without being fully covered in goosebumps. There were no cups to make coffee with. If you want to book a cozy room to stay in after a chilly day of fishing, this is not the place. Got really weird vibes here. Not as nice as the photos. The only upside was the convenient location. I wasnt going to even leave a review but i greatly dislike spam and being bugged for a review, so here we are.
- Douglas (10/5): Charming and clean resort - Wonderful stay at this Cozy & clean resort with family right before the Holidays. The staff was very helpful, great location, will definitely be back.
- Lindsey (10/5): - Nice, checking in was a little confusing and awkward but not too bad.
- Paul (10/5): Good experience - In town walking distance to all, fire pit if u want , simple n easy
- Andres (8/5): Very Good - 👍👍👍
- Aaron (10/5): - Excellent service, great place to stay
- Donald (10/5): Great for an over-night stay - Clean comfortable room. It had everything I needed. Brewery next door is a plus, with good food and a great selection of beers.
- Jorge Solis (6/5): - Room was provided with has mold in the shower ceiling. The shower did not had hot water. The front door had no seal so the cold air from outside was going inside the room.
- Brenda (10/5): - Nice place
- Jessica (10/5): Location Location Location - An amazing stay for the price and location. Staff were hospitable and welcoming! Have stayed here many times and will come back!
- Rhonda (6/5): - We were expecting a queen bed and a full but the queen looked about the same size as the full. We could have used more paper towels in the kitchen and more tissue paper in the bathroom. When I went to the office it was always empty of a person. When I called the number on the door for more tissue paper I never heard back. We didn,t have any wifi, they said they were having issues. Our room needed some TLC, like a few small holes in the walls, the flooring in the kitchen messed up in places, one electrical outlet was half gone and the smoke alarms had been taken down. I did like how big the room was and it was cute. I liked how we were really close to restaurants, a good variety of them and the ones we tried had good food. I liked how we had a parking space right in front of our room.
- Noor (10/5): Rustic & quaint motel - Great value for the money…
- Kelly (10/5): - Very welcoming atmosphere, clean and comfortable rooms!!
- Lydia (6/5): Cute Motel with potential but… - The place is really cute on the exterior and interior. They have an outdoor chess board you can play with, lights, a pool, a fire pit and Halloween decorations. The issues: The problem was when we got there after check-in they were still cleaning the room so we left and came back twice until they finished. The room smelled great and all surfaces were wiped clean. Also, there was mud/dirt, crumbs, and a pill underneath the bed and was discovered when our toddler dropped his toys and went to find them. I just wish they would’ve cleaned the entire room because my rating would’ve changed.
