3 generations, we've enjoyed this place for 14 years in a row.
Richard W.

This place is amazing. Centrally located from town, river fishing, the lake. The rooms are clean and the service is great. Tina is very friendly. I highly recommend staying here. My father, my son and I have been here 3 generations for 14 years. Thank you, Tina. You always make our trip amazing. Looking forward to next year already.

When we pulled up in the evening the place was all lit up so pretty. We went to the office and rang the doorbell and the owners/managers came out to meet us. Super friendly, explained the wifi and after some signatures we were given an old school key. Don't see those anymore. Our room was upstairs, no elevators so if you have trouble with that make sure to request the first floor. Room was clean, nothing fancy but comfortable. There is a kitchenette if you need one. Refrigerator had some waters in it. No signs up mentioning if they are complimentary so we just brought up our own. Bathroom only had towels for two and there was three of us. It was really early morning when I saw that. So we just dealt with it. Biggest complaint was the neighbors next to us were so loud, I was getting a little irritated because we had to be up at 5 am. We kept the air conditioner on all night and it kept the room nice and cool. Check out was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. I didn't realize it is 20 minutes from the rodeo grounds in Kernville. Little far for us when we need to be there so early. Affordable and nice employees.

Cozy bed & nice clean kitchenette.

First impression: 5-Star by those managing the lodge. Here are a few my highlights: - So generous and accommodating as we arrived in town sooner than expected and allowed us to check in early (because previous guests already checked out of our room & they had a chance to clean it) - They have a nice grass area in the front (which is great for our fur-babies) - Rooms were nice, simple, and cozy (and clean) - Nice kitchenette & table - Great internet speed and easy to connect to - Directly across from the river with great access to a beautiful area. .... will update with more.

Setting up for the wedding
Charlie A.

Had the great pleasure of staying here this last weekend for a wedding. Was the nicest vacation experience I've had in a LONG time. Not too pricey, Room was large, and very clean, with amenities like a kitchenette with A coffee maker, and coffee. Everyone who works there is nice as pie, And they make everyone, even this city slicker, feel at home. Woulda Rather stayed there than come back to the city. - thanks, Charlie A.

My name is Anet, I own a tour company called Anet Tours, and I frequently bring groups of travelers to Kern River, where we always stay at Corral Creek Lodge. I rave about this place because the staff (especially Tina and Jeremiah) is super friendly and hospitable, the entire lodge is extremely clean, and the ambiance here is amazing. I frequently being large groups and we book around 20 rooms, I am so thankful to have found this place and will continue to book here for as long as I can.

Kernville Inn - King room

Kernville Inn

Very convenient place to stay. It is close to stores, restaurants and across the street from the…read moreriver. Each unit has its own patio to have your morning coffee or just to relax. The room is quaint and fulfilled our needs. I would recommend the Inn.

Extremely basic and definitely outdated facility and rooms. But nonetheless, clean and hygienic…read more From memory, there were a couple of bottles of water provided which I think was a nice touch. There were a little sachets of shampoo, lined up, neatly. We arrived around 7 PM and didn't see an employee even though the office was open. And a sign was on the door saying the employee is on the property if missing. Yet an envelope was sticking to the door with a singular key and my name on it. This isn't welcoming and it's not a good image particularly since 7 PM is not late. I actually never interacted with the office manager as far as I'm aware because the individual was similarly absent when I checked out in the morning. I find it very interesting that if you look at the signage in one of the photos below that they're expected check-in time is 3 PM and no sooner yet you won't see an employee there at 7 PM. Does this mean the employee only works four hours per day? Here is what you should know: there is a very bizarre, almost compulsive attention to detail that makes me feel uneasy. In multiple places around the property, one of them in the room, threatening you with all the charges you will get if you 'act out'. The is also a grotesque professional sign on the gate of the pool discussing diarrhea, which made me not want to use it. This is truly excessive. Overall, very average place with an average rate.

Riverview Lodge - Comfy Double Queen

Riverview Lodge

We stayed for a motorcycle camping event (Frandy Campgrounds ) this time around…read more Although the reservation wasn't made by me- my friend noticed once the event dates were released, other properties were booked via their websites. As with Riverview Lodge. Then she snooped around Expedia and found some availability. Woo hoo! We've stayed in Kernville a few times already, and with the proximity to Frandy Campgrounds and places to eat and the grocery store, super duper close. We arrived the day before festivities began (Thursday) and got situated. It's a first come, first served parking situation. And if you got the rooms closer to the river, you can utilize the paved driveway and head on down. She booked a double queen room. Our bed was so comfy, it was easy to fall asleep. The AC blows so much cold air (don't mind the noise from it). But, since we picked the bed closest to the AC unit, I think hubby unplugged it the second night & we propped the window next to us for a fresh breeze. Since my friend checked us in, she told us coffee's available in the morning. I don't recall her telling me what times coffee is served. So, on the second day- I lazily walked into the coffee area at 6am and was disappointed there was nothing. Then, I walked into at 6:30am and the coffee pots with a variety of flavored creamers were available. When I went back for coffee around 10am- everything was put away. Womp womp womp. *Some friendly advice- perhaps staff can post a note in the coffee room what time coffee hours are. That way it gives customers a chance to plan ahead. It's a no frills property. You get a TV with cable (we watched MTV the entire time). Strong water pressure in the bathroom sink and shower. Toiletries you'd expect from Motel 6. So, if you're dead set on something specific, bring your own. There was a fake flower vase set on one of the tables in the room and a fake flower arrangement in the bathroom. Both have a thick blanket of dust on them, that if you knocked into it or slightly touched it- thick dust bunnies just cascade. At this point, just throw away the fake flowers. It would suck if a customer has allergies. I'm sure something can be found at the dollar store in Lake Isabella. Good sized mini fridge and microwave available. And the chairs placed outside your front door, are a great way to just chill in the shade and inhale that fresh air. Along the river, Riverview Lodge has an area with fire pits and logs you can burn. I saw corn hole boards propped up behind one of the cabins closest to the water.

Clean, apparently historic place. In the middle of nowhere, but with a beautiful river that runs…read moreright alongside outside the doo. It is rustic, old-fashioned, and outdated, in need of updating. Locks are turnkey. Extremely clean, but very basic. It was odd to have a refrigerator, microwave, dishes, and cups, but no silverware/cutlery. No coffee muffin, etc. We arrived around 6 PM and nobody was in the office, but our key was stuck with Scotch tape to the door with our name. Only got to enjoy the swimming pool for about 20 minutes, unfortunately, because it closes early as soon as the outside lights come on. There is a bizarre attention to detail-- almost OCD characteristic-- highly specific signs all over the place as posted below. Summary: for $250 a night it's reasonable. But nothing special. I would've liked to have interacted with an employee and I really think the sign on the pool is grotesque and should be removed.
