Meadowlands Cottage, Horse Ranch with Wood Burning Stove and a River, Hot Tub

We booked Meadowlands Cottage and found - Dirty kitchen / outdoor area - Open! exposed rat poison in the kitchen - Mousetraps in the kitchen - Ants in the refrigerator This is NOT a safe place for children – leaving poison and other dangerous substances openly accessible. In addition, mice spread pathogens! We can NOT cook and sleep here with a “good & safe“ feeling. In addition, the road was right next to it and very loud. It is a nice place but with traffic direct next to it. We therefore left on the very same day. The owner could not understand our concerns and kept the money. He did not react to our mail and calls.

Quiet ranch bungalow, shaded, comfy. Great hot tub. walkable to town.

My husband and I loved staying at the beautiful Kernville Ranch. We loved the quiet and the scenic beauty. I loved that the cottage was pet friendly and our dog had the time of her life seeing the amazing horses at the ranch. The community is amazing for hiking and outdoor adventures. We enjoyed hiking at a nearby trail. The location is perfect for a restorative getaway.

Being next to a horse ranch was amazing, but the property itself was less than stellar. Cobwebs, musty smell, shower drain was clogged, no coffee maker, and I could go on

The ranch was very nice, it is very close to the town in a peaceful, well kept location. Amy the host was very communicative and made sure we knew what was going on at the ranch so there was no surprises. Our son loved the horses and my husband loved the airforce practicing drills in the valley overhead. We are dropping a star as we feel there was a few things missing that made the stay not 100%, especially when considering price point. There was just things missing that felt like they should be provided, like no bath mat (only big bath towels), no kitchen towel/tea towel, no mugs, no coffee for the coffee machine, or oil for cooking. It was very minimal things provided - we wondered if they were in the adjoining area of the house which we did not book.

The Meadowlands Cottage was a beautiful, serene, cozy place to stay for the night while in Kernville for river rafting trip. The property is expansive and beautiful with no shortage of fun things for kids to do and places to explore. We would love to stay here again next time we come back to Kernville!

We have been to Kernville a couple of times, but this place is amazing. Wonderful cottage located in an amazing landscape.Very quite, plenty of space and our dog enjoyed taking a bath in the little river. For sure we will come back and hope to spend some more time.

We loved the atmosphere. The zipline was a hit! We hope to be back soon!

This cottage is a short walk from the town square. The property has grills and a hot tub. There are areas to hang out both indoors and out. The property is fun to explore. Our infant slept soundly in the bedroom while we played cards outside or sat in the hot tub. The hot tub is within range for our video baby monitor. Some board games would be a nice addition to this space. This is a nice spot to relax and would be a great space for gatherings - particularly if you could snag other spots on the property.

Me and my wife enjoyed the meadowlands cottage, very quiet and tranquil exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful little town and lovely people that live there. Will definitely be going back again very soon

The place is set on a horse ranch. There is a little stream that runs on the property. It has a wood hot tub but I didn't find it as inviting in person as it appeared in the photos. The floor plan of the house is great and easily works for 5 people. The little home is decorated nicely. The property manager was easy to communicate with. Location is not too far from restaurants or the Kern River. I would stay here again!

An adorable little house within walking distance from the Kern and town. This place is attached to another property. It had a great floor plan and was a comfortable space. The property manager was very easy to communicate with. I was looking forward to using the hot tub but, it was not for me. However, this was because someone (else visiting the property) may have left the top open after they used it and it filled with tree leaves/droppings. Regardless, we very much enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

If you need a quick relaxing and affordable getaway, this is definitely the spot! The property grounds are absolutely gorgeous. Horses, hammocks, a little peaceful stream, beautiful greenery, hot tub, bbq, and plenty of shady mature trees. We loved our stay with the fam! Highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed our time in this cottage, with the horses and the views and proximity to lakes and mountains and rivers. Highly recommend.
