This is a LOVELY property on the Kern River. The lodge is meticulously maintained, and the on-site managers are attentive and friendly. We could hear the rushing river from our room. It is close enough to Kernville for dining options. We will always stay here whenever we visit the Kern River area. Reasonable! Clean! Remodeled! Perfect!

Charming Place
Given the amount of empty units in town in January was surprised at the terrible prices for rooms but seems they would rather be empty than make a buck. Booking online garnered a better price but at the motel they insisted the room I wanted (lots of windows) qualified for more despite there being nothing on line about this. Thought that was petty given the place was pretty much empty. Anyways the room is charmingly decorated/presented and we had a nice view of the river. Wanted something with rustic charm which this place had with its themed decor. It was clean and cozy and you got the usual coffee and tea and bonus of tastey popcorn. The room had an extra fireplace heater which we needed but do think for January the thin blanket bed cover needs to be upgraded. All the other amenities needed were available. There was a nice wood fireput available outside with wood to use but given it was raining we couldn’t partake. Despite supposedly having wifi couldn’t get it to work on my Apple Macbook Air. We did enjoy the one night stay but can’t imagine the summer prices.

The property was clean and quiet. What was weird is the check in. I got to the hotel at 5:30pm. The office was closed. The note on the dorr said to go to the Kernville Hotel to get your key. The Kernville Hotel is about 2.5 miles down a windy road. I have never had to drive 5 miles to check in. It was weird.

Richard, You were sent an email prior to arrival explaining the check in process and prior to arriving at Sequoia Lodge you did pass by Kernville Inn, the check in location. We are sorry you did not read the email and had to drive back to town to check in. It seems that a good number of folks do not read the emails when they come through an online travel agent. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your accommodations and wish to thank you for the review.

Great little cottage-style room just outside of Kernville. Very clean and comfortable. Surprisingly good TV reception with lots of channels. We even got to watch the Monday night football game! Mostly quiet during the night but occasional road traffic started pretty early. All in all, a good place.

Life's little reset button.
Check in was easy. Jim, our host, was the best! Place was clean, close to everything, including the river. If you can't relax, have fun, and disconnect here, you should consult your doctor. You might be a stick in the mud! Your cell phone will become your clock and your camera. They don't work up here. Maybe your kids can play outside for a change. Bring a book and put your feet up. Maybe some BBQables for the grill. You can plan some activities if you like but food and a nap ain't bad at all! Thanks Jim for a great stay. I'll be back soon.

This place was amazing from start to finish!!! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Jim (DO NOT CALL HIM SIR!!!!) He was the sincerest man with the biggest heart!!! I let him know that our room was the cleanest smelling room I'd ever been in. He let me know that it was because of his amazing staff that had been with him for years! I appreciated the fact that he didn't shy away from giving credit to his cleaning ladies! That's really hard to doing these days! We'll definitely be returning ASAP!! THANKS FOR A GREAT STAY JIM!!!

Rustic lodge in Kernville
Perfect spot for a weekend getaway to Kernville! There’s easy access to the river behind the lodge and a great general store across the street with breakfast burritos and barbecue. The rooms were cute and rustic. Easy to get to all of the attractions of the area.

Best place in Kernville
I was very happy with my stay at Sequoia Lodge. It was beyond my expectations. The pictures do not do justice to the actual lodge itself. Our room was in excellent condition and so clean. We had a peaceful night's sleep. Very clean place.The detail to the decor was really nice. Access to the river was just a few steps away. I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends. Definitely returning again. We had a wonderful time. Very relaxing and peaceful. Staff was super nice too. A beautiful place to stay.

If you ever want to stay at a place overlooking the Kern River, then this would be the motel to choose from. You literally walk down the steps and you are on the river bed. You can dip your feet by the edge of the river as you watch the river flow. Someone created these small pools on the side that kids can play in and have fun with minimal safety concerns. Kids loved the small pools as they can throw rocks into the river. Kids were entertained very easily. Great location.
