We arrived at Kernville after many detours and roadwork disruptions. Even this far into May, evidence of winter road damage around hills and lake is evident and requiring work. The river is the feature of the town. Walking around was easy, there was not much traffic. It was a pity that many stores, gift shop were not yet open. It was thrilling to watch kayakers risking life and limb on pretty violent waters. Fishermen were hopeful. Would have been great to see fresh fish on a menu somewhere. Food quality at Ewings was excellent and staff were lovely.

Kernville is a quiet, peaceful town serving the tourism industry of the Kern River Valley. There is a choice of eating options: two diners offeringAmerican breakfast and several restaurants - my particular favourite is Ewings on the Kern but others are available. The Piza Barn is worth a look - beer and Pizza, nothing fancy. The Kernville Saloon does not offer food, but is a vibrant town bar with music, sports and a good selection of craft beers as well as branded.

Corral Creek Lodge is a good hotel to stay in but not the best in the Kernville area. Liked · Location was good...just 8.5 miles from downtown Kernville. Our room (6) was mostly clean and comfortable. The air conditioner/heater required help from the staff to turn on (a circuit breaker needed to be reset). The staff was helpful and friendly and responded to our requests in a timely manner. There was a very large grass area for guests with pets to use to exercise and relieve their dogs. The patio was equipped with seating and BBQ equipment that was clean and comfortable. Disliked · The shower curtain was the only item that was not as clean as it should have been (there was visible mildew on it and it smelled bad. There was a safety issue with the exterior steps that needs to be addressed. The steps are painted red but there is no paint on front edge of steps to warn you of the edge. I have attached photos to show the tripping hazard. The soundproofing in the walls between rooms is poor. We could hear guest conversations in room next to us. The dog rules are not being enforced...the guest next us did not have their dog on a leash and the dog was using the post supporting second balcony as it's pee spot. We had to walk thru dog pee to get into our room. The coffee maker needed to be cleaned better or replaced (a good soaking with vinegar would help remove stains). The AC/Heater fan button may have been broken because the fan stayed on ALL THE TIME and was disturbing to listen too.

Less tourists than in national parks but be informed that this is the forest and not the actual national park. That’s a good 4 hour drive. Booking.com website is deceiving. You get to see giant sequoias but not this is not the sequoia national park. This is in the sequoia forest and much more popular with fresh water fishing

Kernville is a cute little town located in the perfect place for a motorcycle ride. Every road in & out of Kernville is fun to ride/drive. The town itself has enough restaurants to satisfy most people

We really enjoyed our stay in Kernville. It's a great small town with an interesting history, the beautiful Kern River running through it, and surrounded by mountains. We stayed at the Kernville Riverview Inn, which is right across from the river and was very comfortable. We went to the Kernville Saloon, which had fun entertainment and drinks. The animal heads on the walls were a blast. We ate breakfast at Cheryl's Dinner, which was very good. Overall, Kernville exceeded my expectations, since I had never been before.
