The place was very nice and the staff very welcoming and helpful. Nice facilities, great breakfast and beautiful locations along the river. Two negative points: The directions on Expedia are wrong and it took us an extra 40 minutes to reach the place, almost missing the check-in deadline and causing us to partially reschedule our rest of the trip. Second, possibly because of the season, a big quantities of flies were infesting the place making walking outside not so pleasant.

The rooms were cute! The property is nice but needs some upkeep and landscaping. The creek and waterfall is such a selling point but there is no direct access. Staff was friendly. Food was amazing.

Lovely quiet, meditative type stay—with nature as your entertainment. No TV and Wi-Fi is not good, if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking to unplug, this spot is perfect. Beautiful little waterfall out back—that you can hear if you keep the windows open. Clean mountain air and healthy breakfast options keep your mind rested and rejuvenated. Staff was excellent. Just do your research and know you are in the mountains—where anything can happen. If you are a flexible person looking to unwind, this is the spot for you.

This stay ought to be partially refunded.
We were given a room half the size of the one we booked due to renovations. It also had no kitchen as pictured and therefore had to round trip drive and hour to eat. We were messaged to say the address is not correct and the drive was further and that there was a road closure which meant we had to leave Yosemite earlier than we had planned. We were also emailed and saw the day before our stay to say our booking was cancelled and we could stay in San Diego instead but were not offered a refund however was then told our booking was not cancelled and our room was not affected. The room we were given is not in the photos provided and has a view of a metal staircase. We stayed here for the 100 giant sequoias and springs both of which were closed (outside of hotels control but not informed) and the teacups hike we did do instead was underwhelming. Of the six hotels we stayed on this trip this is the only one we were unhappy with and ironically the least quiet of them all.

Incredibly misleading photos of this property - the place is old, outdated and run down. There is no yoga or massage or anything of a ‘retreat’ nature happening on this property. Super disappointing to drive out into nowhere for this.

1. I would have liked more secure door locks. 2. The trailers on site detracted, somewhat, from the scenery. That said, the staff was wonderfull, the room was cosy and comfortable, breakfast was ample & tasty, Will definitely be back!!

Property is located between downtown Kernville and Land of 100 Giants trail. Allow at least 20-25 min to get into town, longer if you are behind a slow driver. I booked two massages on the website and did not notice the hotel has two locations: Kernville & Julian. The Kernville location does not have all the amenities (like a massage) offered at Julian. Note this when making your reservation. We had two spiders in the room, to be expected in a mountain area. The WiFi was spotty, no cell service until you hit town. Our room (#1) was right below the common area where breakfast is served, each morning around 8A we would stary to hear the footsteps and creaking of floor boards. No AC in the room and the ceiling fan was very loud. The room worked to sleep but was not a place I'd hang out in mostly because it was hot. Amber & Adam were very nice.

I made a reservation at Quiet Mind once my boyfriend and I scheduled an overlanding trip in Lake Isabella. I wanted to rough it one day and then have a nice relaxing hotel night the following day. Adam immediately called me to talk about the reservation and ask if I had any questions or requests. I was so impressed by his caring that we have a good stay. No hotel has ever done that for me (nor do I think they would ever). We were in contact again before we arrived. On the day of our arrival, it was about 100 degrees outside and I texted Adam ahead of time to give him our arrival time and to double check that we had air conditioning in the room, because we were looking forward to escaping the heat we had just been camping in. When we arrived, Adam led us to our room which had already been cooled down with an AC unit that was turned on ahead of time. The room is a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures, but nonetheless, the canopy bed and red curtains still make for an intimate and romantic stay. We walked along the river later that night, as well as sat in the water, and let the water rush passed us to cool us down. Having the river right next to the hotel was also very romantic. We had to leave super early the next morning so we didn't get to try the complimentary breakfast, but for the 14 hours we were at the property, we did enjoy it and I hope we'll be able to return again in the near future.

A lovely peaceful and relaxing stay. Adam our host, was super friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and overlooking the river behind the property. There wasn’t any phone signal in the mountains but there was free Wi-Fi to use. There was also complimentary breakfast served in the mornings which was great. Myself and my husband will definitely be returning in the future.

My wife and I rented a 2 night stay for Valentine’s Day thinking there was a masseuse let alone spa. When we arrived there was no masseuse or spa as they advertised. They take advantage of the distance from town and over charge their food 3 times it’s worth! We didn’t even stay because the whole place was bait n switch let alone false advertising! When we asked for a refund they said go through Expedia then they never responded to Expedia or the emails Expedia send requesting the refund! This place is a huge scam. Like I told Expedia, I will remove my bad reviews once they refund my money! It’s been over 2 weeks and we will escalate this until we get our money back!
