Top Kernville Hotel Reviews

Kernville Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are helpful, the rooms are well maintained and clean, parking is only feet from the rooms."

Whispering Pines Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and peaceful."

Sequoia Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The cleanest lodge in Kernville each time we have visited . The staff who helped us again this year were so accommodating after being stuck"

Riverview Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Private beach on beautiful Kern River. Very friendly and casual vibe"

Barewood Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"It was a lovely little town and the hotel was cute. The only thing is to pay close attention to the accommodations. We requested a stay for three but we ended up with two tiny beds. Never see that before. It was a rough night because two of us had to sleep on a tiny twin bed and we had no other option because we didn’t get to the hotel until after 11 pm. There was nobody there to check us in. We thought of putting the beds together but the beds were fixed against the wall. Two of us didn’t sleep, there were no other blankets or any other way to sleep on the floor except just the bare floor. Other than that it could have been a great experience."

Lakeview Motel

"Older place, clean neat.. roadside motel experience out of the sixties...I enjoyed. Not for all."
