Prices are a bit expensive in my opinion to go in and look around the Ghost Town. Which I opted to…read morenot do due to the fee. The "antique store" is very small dark and you need to watch your footing.

At first, I thought that the place was a little bit of a clique but then a woman came up to my…read moregirlfriend and I who was very friendly and helpful. The place is just beautiful and native plants are growing all around. There is definitely an energy there as the place itself must have quite a past. After looking through their quaint museum we looked at their potted plants and purchased a couple different varieties of sage which they propogate themselves. As we were leaving the same woman who welcomed us invited us back for craft days and events. We left the center with a lot of feelings. It was an overall positive experience. I just wish I could have found the legend that identified all of the plants in the area.

Wow! What a gem of a museum! I highly recommend visiting this museum if you are near the Lake…read moreIsabella or Kernville area. The admission was free, but PLEASE consider making donations to help employ and maintain upkeep at the museum. This place has such a rich history of artifacts, including a woolly mammoth tooth to a 1900 stock certificate for gold, a display of all the movies ever made in the area and tons of items from the Oregon Trail. Super interesting for kids and adults. I'll definitely be returning for another visit on my next trip to Lake Isabella.

Big city movies on a small town screen! This place is definitely deceiving. When you drive by it…read morelooks like this place is small. As you enter the "lobby", you first get a perfect look at a charming facility. You then immediately walk up to ticket counter/snack bar a few feet from the front door entrance. You then have the option to enter the actual theatre room located directly behind the snack bar from two sides with a door on each side of the snack bar. Upon entering you walk into a rather large theatre with your traditional movie screen. Then you're left wondering how did they fit this screen in here? This place is a gem and a must if you're in the area. If you've driven by the theatre don't waste your time thinking, "I wonder how that place looks like inside?" Stop by, find out for yourself, and enjoy a great movie at a great location! P.S. This place needs to come out in a movie (horror, teen drama or romcom, or some comedy by Seth Rogan) because it has too much charm to go unnoticed.

This is a great small-town theater with FIRST-RUN movies. (Who would have guessed?)…read moreIt is small compared to city theaters, but always surprises newcomers with how large a theater it really is. Great sound system. Padded upholstered seats lean back and are most comfortable when you bring your own pillow to put behind your back (small town theaters are perfect for that kind of casualness). Popcorn, sodas, candy, etc. The Reel Cinema is definitely worthy of date night, or family night attendance.

Kellie and Mike are beautiful souls!!…read more Kellie literally held my hand through the whole process from their ranch to my table. I was very reluctant to pull the trigger and purchase bulk beef especially because I am a single mother with a single income as you can imagine this is a hefty purchase. But after research and seeing this is a family ranch in California willing to cover shipping and at a reasonable price I had to say a prayer and make the purchase ( I started with a quarter beef). At first I didn't hear anything but a few days later I received an email from Mike thanking me for my business then Kellie reached out a week and a half later ( by this point I was like crap I got scammed) she let me know they were going to take the cow to the butcher and keep in touch I quickly responded asking questions about my order even requesting a tongue everything was looking better. The next day Kellie and Mike reached out by phone and spent time conversating like a normal people because I let her know how I was feeling and she reassured me everything was legit. She watched the ups update closer than me letting me know it was at my door before I could even check myself!! Once I got my order I was not disappointed!! There was soooo much meat and a decent variety for me and my little family!! This will definitely be an annual purchase!! Thank you Kellie and Mike I look forward to enjoying my beef and our future orders from your ranch!! Ivory and the boys
