This lower-level 2-bedroom apartment offers a peaceful base for adventure or relaxation. Enjoy morning coffee or a cold drink by the river, cast a line, or simply sunbathe on the sand. At night, unwind in the saline hot tub under a sky full of stars.

You're just a short walk to Kernville’s charming shops, rafting outfitters, restaurants, and the award-winning Kern River Brewing Company. Outdoor lovers will find hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and wildflower trails all nearby.

The space includes:
• Two bedrooms (queen & king)
• Open plan living/dining area with boardgames and puzzles
• Gallery-style kitchen with basic supplies
• Covered outdoor deck
• Private beach and saline hot tub
• Gas BBQ

The property is well-maintained by friendly owners who live onsite and are available if needed—while fully respecting your privacy.
