About this property

Shirley Creek Mountain Oasis: Special Discounts!

Exceptional value with SEASONAL DISCOUNTS! Immerse yourself in an unparalleled adventure in nature at our unique and retro 1970s mobile home that sleeps 4. Bathe in nature with a fire pit, two beautiful creeks, and mountain trails right outside your door. Proximity to Exciting Spots: near Kern River, Lake Isabella, Hot Springs, and Skiing for endless exploration. Spacious property surrounded by BLM land offers a private peaceful escape. Wood-burning stove, traditional heat/air. Pet Friendly.

The Space:
Beautiful mountain retreat surrounded by wilderness. Great place to just relax, breathe, and enjoy or have outdoor adventures via hiking trails, water play on the lake or Kern River, visiting the trail of 100 Giants, white water rafting, fishing, and snow skiing in Alta Vista! Cute retro movie theater in town or dining and entertainment in Kernville, home of the world-famous Kernville Brewery. Cute additional cabin that sleeps two as an additional space for the kids or adventurous adults.

Guest access:
You have access to the whole house, including 1.5 baths, a kitchen with microwave, and other amenities. Also, wifi and smart TV for all your streaming needs, as well as a huge deck that must be seen to be appreciated. You can lounge on the deck and greet the deer, birds, and squirrels or sit by the wood-burning stove for indoor fires and a beautiful stone fire pit for outdoor fun. So much to explore on the property alone, but also surrounded by government land full of creeks, trees, trails and endless mountains.

Guest interaction:
I am just a phone call or email away in case you have any questions about the home or area. Happy to help!

Neighborhood overview:
Pala Rancho Estates is a small group of homes nestled in the mountains. Shirley Creek Retreat is bordered by two creeks and at the edge of the community so you feel utterly alone while on your property and are surrounded on all sides by beautiful forestry land with trees and all kinds of wildlife.

Getting around in the area:
So very close to so much! Within minutes: Alta Vista Ski Resort (skiing, tubing, and sledding), beautiful Lake Isabella for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing, Kernville for nightlife and amazing restaurants as well as world-famous Kernville Brewing Company, Kern River for white water rafting, tubing and swimming, Remington mineral baths for the most extraordinary secluded bathing experience right on the river! Plus, short drive to Trail of 100 Giants and the Crystal Caves. So much to partake of!

For my wife and I this property was perfect. We loved the location. The location is safe, quiet and tranquil. The bed was comfortable, and we each had a great night's rest after exploring the Kernville area. Everything was great!

This is a small mobile home at the end of a quiet street on a big lot. All the basic comforts are there along with a few nice extras such as a wood stove, wifi, and Netflix. It's very close to Alta Sierra Ski resort and worked out perfect for our ski trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful time! We loved the space, especially the big deck for stargazing and the creek for splashing around. There was AC throughout the house which made the hot days easy. This place is a total gem and only 12 minutes from town and the river! The only thing we would change for our next visit is that we would bring an extra air mattress as some of the fold out couches weren’t super comfortable. We are so glad we were able to stay here and we cannot wait until our next visit!

The perfect private getaway!

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for—remote, private, and peaceful. It had all the essentials to make us feel right at home, and the amazing views added to the experience. My favorite part was the bonfire, which made the evenings extra special. Shirley was incredibly helpful and responsive to all our questions, making everything so smooth. We’re already looking forward to coming back someday!

ANOTHER WONDERFUL VACATION HERE

We have stayed here 4 - 5 times now, and it's always a great time. The house was clean, and all our needs were met. We enjoy coming here each year and relaxing away from LA. Our favorite part is the back deck, where we enjoy coffee in the morning, and a glass of wine in the evening after a busy day of adventure. Thanks again Sharon!

Perfect Getaway for My Birthday in the Middle of a Pandemic

We always try to go up to the mountains for my birthday and we found this gem. It's such a quiet and private that we really enjoyed ourselves tremendously! All you hear are the creek, birds and the scuffling of squirrels around. We LOVE firepits and they had 2 to choose from! We cooked every meal for the 2-3 days we were there to avoid contact with other people and they have EVERYTHING you need. This place is FANTASTIC! The only comment we have is maybe slight upgrade to the place but it's definitely not a deal-breaker and we will be coming back! Thank you so much, Sharon!

Go in the spring

We were not familiar with the area or even California weather. Was looking forward to the streams and swimming holes. Everything dries up in the summer! Our bad.😮 As far as the accomodations, it all depends on what you are used to. If you stay at less than Hotel 6, you'll be fine, but if your used to a Hampton Inn or better, look elsewhere. It is an old trailer that they fixed up. It just needs some work done on it which they said they were going to do. Had a great talk with Sharon? Not sure who I talked with. Very sympathetic to our misunderstanding.

Not what I expected

First I would like to say that is is an older manufactured home. It could use some TLC, some updates/repairs & an exterminator. Bedding & location were nice. We’re going back to the area in October…I will not choose this place again.

Exceeded expectations

We came into this trip just looking for a a quiet place to get out of the city for a while, but it turned into an amazing experience and we ended up having the time of our lives. There is so much to do in the area, so many characters to meet, and such a relaxing ambience on the property. The house may not resemble a 5 star hotel, but it is a million times nicer than what we were expecting for the price. Comfy bed, nice kitchen, and breathtaking views. We will definitely be coming back!
