Prime location. Very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bedding, pillows, and bed was by far the most comfortable and cozy I've ever slept in. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely book more time at this location.

It's a very quiet and peaceful place with beautiful spots onsite to explore and adventure, or discover and relax at. The staff was courteous and always willing to help to make sure our stay was comfortable. We had great health conscious food they provided in the mornings and enjoyed the inhouse made pizzas you can purchase for dinner! Very accommodating to requests and activities such as wanting to eat breakfast outside in the morning and providing a table cloth and a food tray for resort luxury feel out in the sticks of Sequoia National Forest! It was beautiful, and perfect for people looking to disconnect from electronics and spend intimate time reconnecting to the important things.

    Be aware that if it is off season most places are closed or have limited offerings and limited hours. Also beware that in the Seqioua National Forest you will lose cell service so definitely be prepared, know where you are going and bring a map of the park. There are minimal signs. Driving through the mountains is close to treacherous, long and very desolate. Prepare yourself!! Towns people were nice. Has an old western town feel. The landscape and the Seqioua trees are worth staying in Kernville. It's beautiful!

    We love visiting the Kernville area.

    We love visiting the Kernville area. The grocery store has a lot of tshirts and hoodies to commemorate your visit. The meat counter has wonderful steaks to bbq. The Kern River Brewing Co has great food and many beers to chose from. The pizza barn has very good pizza and delicious fresh baked sourdough bread. We went to Kernvelle in the middle of Oct. The leaves had not started to change yet. The river was low but the scenery was beautiful. The day temps were in the high 80s and the nights were high 40s. We will be coming back again. Maybe lste spring when the water is flowing higher.

    We arrived at Kernville after many detours and roadwork disruptions. Even this far into May, evidence of winter road damage around hills and lake is evident and requiring work. The river is the feature of the town. Walking around was easy, there was not much traffic. It was a pity that many stores, gift shop were not yet open. It was thrilling to watch kayakers risking life and limb on pretty violent waters. Fishermen were hopeful. Would have been great to see fresh fish on a menu somewhere. Food quality at Ewings was excellent and staff were lovely.

    Kernville is a quiet, peaceful town serving the tourism industry of the Kern River Valley. There is a choice of eating options: two diners offeringAmerican breakfast and several restaurants - my particular favourite is Ewings on the Kern but others are available. The Piza Barn is worth a look - beer and Pizza, nothing fancy. The Kernville Saloon does not offer food, but is a vibrant town bar with music, sports and a good selection of craft beers as well as branded.

    Corral Creek Lodge is a good hotel to stay in but not the best in the Kernville area. Liked · Location was good...just 8.5 miles from downtown Kernville. Our room (6) was mostly clean and comfortable. The air conditioner/heater required help from the staff to turn on (a circuit breaker needed to be reset). The staff was helpful and friendly and responded to our requests in a timely manner. There was a very large grass area for guests with pets to use to exercise and relieve their dogs. The patio was equipped with seating and BBQ equipment that was clean and comfortable. Disliked · The shower curtain was the only item that was not as clean as it should have been (there was visible mildew on it and it smelled bad. There was a safety issue with the exterior steps that needs to be addressed. The steps are painted red but there is no paint on front edge of steps to warn you of the edge. I have attached photos to show the tripping hazard. The soundproofing in the walls between rooms is poor. We could hear guest conversations in room next to us. The dog rules are not being enforced...the guest next us did not have their dog on a leash and the dog was using the post supporting second balcony as it's pee spot. We had to walk thru dog pee to get into our room. The coffee maker needed to be cleaned better or replaced (a good soaking with vinegar would help remove stains). The AC/Heater fan button may have been broken because the fan stayed on ALL THE TIME and was disturbing to listen too.

    Centrally located in a very pleasant small town. A range of food & drink options were to hand nearby. The hotel itself is very comfortable with plenty of parking. The room was large; well maintained and presented to a high standard. Housekeeping occurred daily with the now customary option to retain towels.

    Location was excellent. It's in the middle of town and you can walk around and when you wake up, the river is in front of your hotel across the street. The bathroom shower is a little tight and small, but the overall space is good enough for my stay.
