the Lodge is a rustic wooden/stone U-shaped single story building with quaint rooms that feel vintage. Some repairs are obvious but the neatness & cleanliness of the rooms & exterior are great. It is not a corporate hotel stay with lobby, coffee, etc. You walk out of your room to a rustic veranda & chairs with a view of the Kern river. It has it's own private beach. Kernville is a destination to relax in the countryside and the Lodge compliments that experience. I will patronize again. Good job RiverView Lodge. In fact, the lodge has a longtime history in the area.

The blinds were dirty, there was cobwebs with dead bugs on the window seal, the TV didn't work most of the time it kept freezing up , behind the microwave was dust with a dead bug on it, dead bolt didn't work on door barely had one lock to lock the door on a very outdated handle, one of the chairs that went with the table was all tore up and neither chair matched the other chair or table, ceiling fan had dust caked on it. I am very unhappy with this stay manager made excuses for the TV not working saying because it's not used often enough. They did offer to move to another room, but looked at it and it was smelly and it was too much to move all my things from upstairs.

Don't go by first impressions as when we parked our motorcycles in front we thought "Uh Oh!!!" Once in our room it was a different story ... Very charming and rustic with a western theme. The bed was fantastic and I got a great nights sleep. The room was spacious and had chairs and tables for our gear. One drawback is ashtrays on tables just outside each room. If you smoke, you'll love this. If you don't, it may be a problem as the smell of cigarette smoke can linger long after the smoker has departed. We were able to park our motorcycles in the back lot and they were safe. We dined nearby at Ewing's and had the best meal of the entire trip there. Hint ... if you like Mac and Cheese, try the Truffle pasta. It was most excellent. And yes ... I would definitely stay here again.
