living in the area, my wife and I enjoy the Kern River and the surroundings, we often tent camp but felt this time we would stay at the lodge, we have a 45lbs dog and that was no issue there. The rooms are clean and taken care of. The store acroos the street has breakfast and burgers. The place was quite and the steps to the river access is a great feature. I would recommend this 10 out of ten times.

Good value for the price, slightly dated, overall the charm outweighs the somewhat aging facilities. Could use some extra blankets in the room.

Nice place and location

The location of the hotel was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful The room was very clean and well decorated The king bed was very hard and pillows were too thin The shower was small and took some time to adjust the water temp Even with these deficiencies I would stay here again
