Great place for a small family reunion. Clean and beautiful patio area. It would have been helpful to have some information on how certain things work or turn on but not a biggie. Also it was a shock to have no bathroom door on a room that 6 people can share upstairs l

Great family getaway
Me and my family had a lot of fun during our stay I lived that I could bring my dog and right up the street take off walking in the mountains. My kids enjoyed the hot tub and it was just a short drive to take the grandkids to the park and then do some shopping. .

Great for stargazing!
We enjoyed our stay. It is centrally located and great spot for stargazing. The A.C. Doesn’t work great and seems to be set at a temp. It was warm. I appreciate sleeping in the cold. It was not even cool. Upstairs especially. I suggest the owners by some fans or guests throw one in tbe trunk! Otherwise it was great.

Kernville Comfort
This was a nice experience in a spacious home with everything you might need for a great 4th of July weekend with friends! The kitchen was well supplied and they have an excellent gas bbq as well. This home is comfortable and inviting! The only thing I could wish for, would be AC, as it was over 100 degrees while we were there. But the water cooling system would likely be just fine in a bit cooler weather. The neighborhood was very quiet and the views were excellent!

Great Hosts and Location
This house was a great getaway for us and our friends over the new year. Close to many hiking trails and only a mile to downtown Kernville. Mary was a great host and directions for check-in/check-out were easy to follow. We cooked most meals at the house and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Would love to stay here again!

This is a very nice place and very spacious. The outdoor area is great for dinner entertaining. Just need to wrap up around 9pm as this is in a neighbor hood and they will complain if you are outdoors late into evening (even if you are not loud)

Relaxing, Convenient Home
We rented this home to have proximity to the river and also the snow and we were not disappointed. We spent our days hiking (both right out the door and along the river) and XC skiing and sledding near Alta Sierra which is less than 30 minutes away. In the chilly evenings we made our own meals in the well stocked kitchen, star gazed on the beautiful patio, and relaxed in the warm house. The owners are easy to reach, very kind, and the entire rental process was straightforward. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
