Kernville trip May 29 - June 1

The hosts were kind and gracious and we enjoyed their wonderful cabin so much. It is one of the original homes in Kernville with a amazing view of the mountains and beautiful sunsets. The cabin is climate controlled wonderfully and the beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are updated and beautiful.

Cozy and Comfortable Cottage overlooking Kernville

Family went to Kernville to enjoy some rafting on the Kern River and drive up to the Sequoia National Forest. Despite every day being over 100 degrees, the A/C kept the cottage cool. The beds were comfortable and Erin was great at communicating with us. Even alerted us that our route out of town might need to be changed due to an unexpected road closure.Downtown, Circle Park, all the restaurants were all walkable and within 1 mile maximum. Even with the heat, the walks were pleasant. The trail of 100 Giants was less than one hour drive.

Private get away

Very relaxing. Only thing that could have been better was the temperature. It was hot when we arrived but not unbearable. Enjoyed being able to walk to store. We ate at Ewing's and The Pizza Barn. Both were very good. Nice friendly little town. We also went to see the Sequoia trees at Trail of 100 Giants.

Great location!

The house was just right for us. My husband, dad, and I enjoyed the covered porch in the evening. The swamp cooler did its job when the temperature went up. Close to the market and restaurants. The new Ewing’s is great! The property is clean, private, and quiet.

Peaceful Beauty

The house was perfect for me, my husband and our dog. It was private and peaceful and the view of the mountains were stunning. Sat out on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The wildlife was amazing in particular, the herd of deer that came right next to the house/deck didn't seem to kind us having wine and watching them in the evenings. Kernville is a nice town with great places to eat before you head out for hiking, rafting, site seeing. Friendly people, great town, lots to do outdoors. Will make another trip again. Thank you Erin for everything!

Amazing Stay

This place will be tough to beat. Such a quiet, quaint area with scenery in all directions. Our hostess was second to none - very responsive and knowledgeable. Id suggest a hike to the mine, should you feel up to it. Wonderful couple of days here - hope to be back some day!

Amazing!

I feel like we came across a diamond nesled comfy in the mountains. The entire property was amazing. The house was super clean and so cute! Clean remodled bathrooms, very comfy home. Huge deck. 2 more decks located around the property so you can enjoy every angle of the views offered. Lots of wildlife and the location was close enough to local attractions/restaurants/stores without even knowing it. It so was peaceful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for your 5 star hospitality, Erin!

Great house in a great location!

This property is huge and so quiet yet still very close to the market, river activities and restaurants! We loved the house. The kitchen was nice. Really loved that stove. The master bath was beautiful! The Kernville area was great too. Each morning we rode bikes in the Sequoias near Alta Sierra ski hill then went windsurfing on Lake Isabella or paddling on the river! This trip is during Covid 19 so we mostly stayed away from restaurants but did get a pizza to take home and enjoy on the huge decks with a wonderful view! Great experience overall!

even better than you thought!

What an adorable little spot just above the Kern River. You are close enough to walk to restaurants, but just far enough away from campground noise. Right there, yet secluded. The huge front porch is great for cool evenings and quiet mornings where you can hear the river flowing. It's a great spot to launch all kinds of adventures--along the river and in Sequoia Nat'l Park--about 3 miles up the road. I think this home was even better than the photos. Definitely comfortable for 2, 3, or 4 people!

Nice house with view

Very nice house with good cooking facilities and views (even deer in the yard). Erin was great. Unfortunately, we had to leave early because of the stay-at-home order and didn't have a chance to explore the Kernville area. The drive in on 178 from 395 was beautiful and we enjoyed a short hike at the Audubon reserve.

Why they chose this property

Walking distance to grocery story, brewery, and the Kern River. Privacy is yours, as the trees and mountains are your neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, nature and serenity are yours at Meadow Oak Cabin. There are no homes immediately next to Meadow Oak Cabin. Depending on the river flow you may hear the rush of the current from the porch. Deer may wander through the yard. Yet the grocery store, restaurants and the river are just a couple of minutes walk!
