The room was clean the beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect. The only complaint was the back door had huge cracks in the weathered door panels. We had to stuff paper towels in the cracks & the bath mat under the door to keep the room just warm enough.

What a charming place! Staff were very helpful when we had a little trouble with the self check-in, and my requested rollaway bed was in the room and ready to go. The Kern River scenery is beautiful; the lodge is right across from the river. Perfect for our family of four -- we all got a good night's sleep and woke up ready to explore.
