Awkward going to occupied room. Never notified about room change. However once reached by phone, folks were very helpful. Property was clean and well equipped. Unfortunately closeby park and river access under construction and not accessible which was disappointing

A cool place where people do seem to care about taking care of it. I would suggest they get an ice machine though.

Our family of 5 and our dog stayed here for 3 nights during the Borel Fire evacuation and felt right at home! They have the best location, right across from the Kern River and Riverside Park. There is an ice cream window a few doors down, a Shell gas station and gift shop right on the corner and it is right behind Cheryl's Diner and close to many other restaurants. The lodge was super homey feeling and comfortable. We had the upstairs suite, it was huge! Full size kitchen, 2 queen beds that were very comfy, a rollaway bed, futons and a couch in the living room, full size dining room table and counter seats as well, 2 bathrooms and the showers have amazing water pressure, huge porch on the front over looking the river, several beautiful antique furnture pieces, and so many other special touches! The manager and house keeper were friendly and welcoming but gave us our privacy and we didn't hear the guests downstairs at all. There is a cute courtyard in the back with tables and grills and even a beautiful apple tree and painted mural on the back cabin. Fast Wifi and lots of channels to watch also. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future and will recommend to all our friends and family :)

Overall a good experience. When we walked in the front desk lady came out and said our room's 🚽 toilet is completely broken. So an hour later the gentleman came and installed a brand new one. The kitchen sink also has issues but fixed also. So many flies mosquitos and bugs, they actually had small a bug swaper on the frig. The beds sheets were very clean. Had a Full kitchen so we cooked our own dinner. The outside of the building does not look at that but the inside was great. Great location since the kern river is right across the street.
