About this cabin rental
This 3,541 sq. ft. luxury log home is in the Sequoia National Forest and the Scenic Kern River. It has 4 bedrooms and a loft, 3 baths and a vanity, and accommodate up to 12-16 guests in beds. Can sleep more if needed. (See additional Rooms and Spaces notes) This is one of top homes in Kernville, California. It has also been voted the number one home in Riverkern by the local residence. We love Green and Green, and Frank Lloyd Right. This is our reflection of a great home that we would think Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud of. This lodge is in the Sequoia National Forest. If you have a problem with wild life, ants and spiders you may not want to stay in the forest. This place is very comfortable and reasonably priced to stay, and it sleeps the most people in the Kern River Valley. If your looking for a Trump Hotel with gold fixtures, this is not your place.
-------------------------------------PERFECT SAFE ZONE -------------------------------------------
If your looking for a place to away and be safe, this lodge is perfect from populations and up against the forest. All Surfaces are wiped down with beach and water, such as the floor, all door knobs, all surfaces, the bathroom, and bleach in laundry. We supply hand sanitizer, and plenty of toilet paper. It is the a perfect safe zone for your family to be safe. The best way to stay away from the flu is to go where the population is low and against the national forest by the river. It is the perfect get away. Staying in our lodge to get away from large cities is also a great vacation opportunity too.

1. Lights down stairs not working. I am sorry about the lights. They are located behind the bar under the bar top with dimmers. I do mention this in the "Hello Letter" we send to folks when they schedule a reservation. We will try to make this more apparent to future guests that the sliders need to be in the up position for brightness.
2. We have gone out and got curtains for all the bedrooms and the bathrooms that needed curtains! Thanks for that input and we now have curtains in all the bedrooms and bathrooms for more privacy.
3. We advise maid service to pay attention to details in cleaning,, whip down cobwebs. The spots have been removed from the carpet.. The maid service has been advised. We are looking into new carpet right now.
4. I will remind Maid Service to make sure the previous folks left the cupboards, pot and pans and knives a re clean orderly.
5. We purchased all new bedding for the lodge!

We always look at our reviews to advise us on what we can do to make the lodge and the experience better. Thanks for your comments Rachelle in making Riverkern Lodge a better place to stay!

Gloria made a few complaints. The lights to the back porch do work. There is a light switch in the master bedroom and at the back door of the dinning room. We have a swamp cooler and the temps in the house is in the 70's. If you like your place in the 60's you may want to go somewhere else. All the bedding is new... I bought more pool sticks for playing pool with. Please refrain from smashing my pool sticks because you missed a shot.
My knobs to the doors are upside down???? Wow.... I installed them and Gloria is the first person in 10 years to bring this up. I think they look great! I'm not changing them,

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
We had a fantastic stay! The house itself is spacious and fun, and you can really feel the love put into it—the fact that the owner built it himself shines through in all the wonderful personal touches. It’s a very quiet and relaxing spot, perfect for unwinding.What truly set this trip apart was [Owner's Name]. He was super communicative and went above and beyond to guide us. He gave us great recommendations for Kernville and even hooked me up with excellent fly fishing tips and connections. If you're looking for a unique place with a helpful host who knows the area inside out, book this place!
