Premium cable, high speed internet and wifi. 3,000 sq ft of living space and newly remodeled with a gourmet kitchen, giant bathrooms, an outdoor rain shower, and very comfortable beds, there is no other rental in the area that has these amenities and a sandy beach right out the backdoor.

Two large master suites, both with sliding glass doors onto a huge second story balcony for star gazing and morning coffee. Third guest bedroom has a queen bed.

Whether you are looking for a base for daily outdoor adventures or a quiet nature retreat, this LUXURY cabin has something for everyone.

The cabin has been lovingly remodeled and has exclusively been used by family previously. It is immaculate and stocked like a family home with everything you need from spices, cookware, folding chairs, towels, shampoo and soap, etc... There is a separate beverage/wine fridge. Most condiments and cooking essentials are already here and for your use.

NEW: The downstairs patio area has a new patio set with seating for six and a propane fire pit. There is also a brand new propane grill. High speed internet and WIFI enabled, plus cable channels, Starz and Showtime. Mountain internet and cable service can be spotty, please understand this before booking. If you must have internet at all times, the mountains might not be the best place for you.

The Area: Kernville is 5 minutes down the road and has lots of shops, bars, and eateries. Most holiday weekends there is a festival going on in the center of town with food trucks and local artisan vendors. There is also a community park right on the river with lots of grass, picnic tables, basketball court, and playground. There is a binder in the cabin with activity brochures, hiking maps, and restaurant menus, along with other miscellaneous information about the area.

Lake Isabella is a fisherman's paradise with competitions happening regularly. Swimming, boating, jet skiing etc... There are jet skis and boats for rent at the dock.

The Pacific Crest Trail is right down the road. The Kern River Brewery is in town and has some amazing beer - try the Sequoia Red!My favorite hike to a small waterfall and slide rock is 20 minutes up the road. The Trail of 100 Giants is 30 minutes up the road, a must see if you have never seen the giant Sequoias. Alta Sierra, the local ski resort, is less than thirty minutes away and is very fun in the winter.

I am familiar with many hikes and unique things to do in the area and am more than happy to answer any questions. This has been a magical place for our family and we want our guests to love it too!

    All rooms where clean and well maintained, I wouldnt say sleeps 12 more like 10. Didn't have inner tubes to float on the river, like the picture shows. But besides that was a great house and the owner is very responsive.

    Excellent property in the most beautiful location ever. This actually exceeded our expectations. My husband went on a peaceful fishing trip with our family and friends, and every single person had the best time. There was an excessive amount of space, the river just steps away your own private oasis, and so close to town and the best fishing spots. We plan to come back and stay here everytime we visit Kern. The hosts were outstanding, the check-in process was so smooth, and the home is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!

    This was the most well-equipped vacation rental we have ever stayed in. And the host responded quickly to all of our inquiries.

    Location was excellent but unfortunately it was raining the whole time we were there so we couldn’t really do any outdoor activities. The house was clean and had everything that we needed for our two day stay. I will go there again.

    5/5 – Peaceful Riverfront Getaway!We had an absolutely amazing stay at this riverside cabin! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how peaceful and private the setting was. Nestled right along the river, the views were incredible – especially at sunrise and sunset. You can literally hear the water flowing as you relax on the porch or by the firepit.The cabin itself was is spacious yet cozy, clean, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The interior felt warm and inviting, with charming rustic touches, but also had modern conveniences like [Wi-Fi/heating/fully equipped kitchen –laundry room ].One of our favorite parts was spending the evenings outside – grilling, roasting marshmallows, and just enjoying the sounds of nature. We even spotted some wildlife nearby, which made it feel even more like a retreat from the everyday hustle.The hosts were communicative and thoughtful, providing clear directions and great local recommendations. You can tell they’ve put a lot of love into this place.If you’re looking for a quiet escape to nature with all the comforts of home, this cabin is it. We’re already talking about coming back for our next stay.

    We had a three family gathering with 5 kids 1.5-17 and 6 adults. This place couldn’t have been more perfect for everyone. River beach access out back, and just so much to do and places to hangout around the home and property. This cabin far exceeded everyone’s expectations. The thoughtfulness of kitchen, toy and entertainment options and craftsman’s details throughout the property really made this stay special over 4 days. We would 100% book this cabin again.

    The location was awesome. The owner thought of everything when they built this home. The home had everything you would need for cooking knives pans cookie sheets coffee grinder. I would have liked more dishwasher pods( 2 were given for 4 days) and washing machine pods ( 2 pods for 4 days with 5 adults 2 kids2-4 years old. We will stay here again!!
