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

A small river winds through Kernville Ranch’s 15 acres of meadows, shade trees, and grazing horses. Meadowlands Cottage, a quaint bungalow attached to the main house, overlooks the lawns and fields. Guests can swim in the river’s seasonal swimming hole, relax in the cedar hot tub under starry skies, or enjoy the zip line and rustic wood burning stove with endless firewood.
The MAIN BEDROOM features a queen bed, ensuite bath, and built-in curtained bunk with a wall-mounted TV—perfect for kids or privacy. The BATHROOM has a tile floor, walk-in shower, and vaulted ceiling, with doors to both the bedroom and hall.
A sound-insulated central door connects to the neighboring Mountain View listing. For larger groups, both it and the nearby Shiny Spartan trailer can be rented along with the cottage.
The cozy DEN doubles as a second bedroom or living room, with twin beds, a sitting area, TV, and potbelly stove with ranch-cut firewood. At the heart of the house, the KITCHENETTE offers a stovetop, two mini-fridges, toaster oven, microwave, sink, and laundry facilities.
Guests have private use of the cottage and are welcome to explore the fenced grounds. Shared outdoor spaces include the hot tub, river, lawns, barns, and trails. A dedicated groundskeeper visits daily to care for the horses.
I don’t live on-site but remain attentive and responsive. My husband and I have worked in horses and hospitality for over 20 years, and I was honored with the Hero Award from XXX in 2014. While this historic property occasionally has quirks, I strive to make every stay memorable and comfortable.
Nature provides its own magic here—deer at sunset, children chasing frogs in the mint field, or herons gliding over the meadows. Kernville Ranch offers families a unique mix of comfort, history, and wide-open beauty.
