About this property

Log Home In The Sequoia National Forest - Perfect safe zone

This 3,541 sq. ft. luxury log home is in the Sequoia National Forest and the Scenic Kern River. It has 3 bedrooms and a loft, 3 baths and a vanity, and accommodate up to 12 guests in beds. Can sleep more if needed. This is one of top homes in Kernville, California. It has also been voted the number one home in Riverkern by the local residence. We love Green and Green, and Frank Lloyd Right. This is our reflection of a great home that we would think Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud of.

-------------------------------------PERFECT SAFE ZONE -------------------------------------------

If your looking for a place to away and be safe, this lodge is perfect from populations and up against the forest. All Surfaces are wiped down with beach and water, such as the floor, all door knobs, all surfaces, the bathroom, and bleach in laundry. We supply hand sanitizer, and plenty of toilet paper. It is the a perfect safe zone for your family to be safe. The best way to stay away from the flu is to go where the population is low and against the national forest by the river. It is the perfect get away. Staying in our lodge to get away from large cities is also a great vacation opportunity too.

Check in time: 4PM
Check out time: 11AM

If your are a fly fisherman... This log home is the perfect place for you and your friends. Your walking distance with your pole to the river!

If you love to hike. We have a hiking trail across from the house that you can hike along Cannel Creek to a water fall and oasis, or back pack into the wilderness.

If you like to whitewater raft.. This place is perfect for your large group and have everyone under one roof!

Looking for a rafting company! We also own Eagle Rafting to take you down the Kern River for a splashing great time!

8-29-22 Rachelle comments. Thanks for the comments Rachelle,
1. Lights down stairs not working. I am sorry about the lights. They are located behind the bar under the bar top with dimmers. I do mention this in the "Hello Letter" we send to folks when they schedule a reservation. We will try to make this more apparent to future guests that the sliders need to be in the up position for brightness.
2. We have gone out and got curtains for all the bedrooms and the bathrooms that needed curtains! Thanks for that input and we now have curtains in all the bedrooms and bathrooms for more privacy.
3. We advise maid service to pay attention to details in cleaning,, whip down cobwebs. The spots have been removed from the carpet.. The maid service has been advised. We are looking into new carpet right now.
4. I will remind Maid Service to make sure the previous folks left the cupboards, pot and pans and knives a re clean orderly.
5. We purchased all new bedding for the lodge!

9/26/2022
1. New carpet and padding have been installed in the living room and master bedroom.

10/14/2022
Replaced rails and felt on Pool table. We also go new billiard balls made of aramith for better performance.

10/21/2022
1. Purchased new Stove. Our new stove has an oven and and option for the oven to be an Air Fryer.

We always look at our reviews to advise us on what we can do to make the lodge and the experience better. Thanks for your comments Rachelle in making Riverkern Lodge a better place to stay!

This house is amazing!!
This is the 2nd time we've stayed at this HUGE beautiful log home. It is perfect for a large group!! I love the upgrades the owner has made with the new furniture, carpet, etc. The pictures really don't do it justice, you have to see it for yourself. The house is truly breathtaking! Thank you Joe for sharing your home with us!

Wanted to give 5 stars
First off, I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. Joe was so friendly and flexible, responding to communication within a few days. I know places in Kernville are limited, so we are thankful this house could accommodate our family. The fridge and 4 bathrooms were a huge plus, and the wifi worked great. The game room was good for the kids, although rough and a bit creepy. The pinball machine was also broken. It was just an okay stay, and addressing the following issues could’ve made it truly amazing: -Fixing the several lights that were out downstairs. At night almost the entire living room was in the dark. Some of the electrical outlets didn’t work. -Placing window coverings over the windows. The bathrooms and bedrooms had no window coverings. Lack of Privacy and light were invasive -Needed a thorough cleaning. It was surface ‘cleaned’ but several things were dusty, dirty, and hadn’t been touched for a while. There are several large stains across the carpet. -Spider webs and cob webs several places -The air conditioner really didn’t reach any of the upstairs. The house was muggy and the upstairs rooms were uncomfortably warm. On a 102 degree day, 79 degrees and humid inside wasn’t pleasant. -The beds, frames, sheets, and couches are old, stained, and not very comfortable. -The code to the private river access didn’t work, and it should be stated that it’s not very close to the house. We had older family members who could not walk to it. -The stove wouldn’t light and we had to ask a neighbor for some matches to light it. -The kitchen cupboards were disorganized and lacked a few basic necessities like a pair of scissors and a lighter. Almost every dish we used needed to be washed before we used it. Cutlery and pans were dirty. Some of the issues may seem nitpicking, but at the price point we paid per night we were expecting more. I think with some tender love and care this place could really be amazing.

Super cozy cabin!
Everything was wonderful! The home had everything we needed to feel comfortable! Super spacious, clean, and welcoming. We loved playing pool in the basement and hanging out on the outside deck. Super convenient was the washer and dryer! Joe, the owner, was very accommodating and responded to questions promptly!! Highly recommend this Kernville lodge- in fact we’re headed back for New Year’s Eve!
