About the host
Hosted by Julia & Andre Karobkoff
We have been Visiting Kernville for about 20 years every summer with our 3 boys and our boys practically grew up in the River! We decided to make Kernville a permanent part of our family! What better way could we have thought to social distance during a world wide pandemic! Buy a house in Kern! Now our goal is to share Kernville with other families and so they can make incredible memories just like us at the River Rock Retreat!
Why they chose this property
We are driving distance to Alta Sierra Ski Resort in the winter and only 0.4 miles from Kern River in the summer! Our natural wood burning fireplace made of RIver Rock is one of those Instagram able Treats!
What makes this property unique
The house is big roomy!
