A couple friends and I reserved a night and dinner and I have to say, it was one of the best ideas we have had in a long time... what fun. the hostess was wonderful and the food perfect... the room was amazing... and I am fussy! Clean, comfortable,cozy and fresh. I loved all the details and the home touches.

Traveling across country, and we were looking for a restful break after camping at Arches and Zion en route to Yosemite. Googled B&B's at midway point (Kernville) and read wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor about Virginia, her Inn, and her hospitality so we made a reservation. Prior to arriving, we called to tell her we would be arriving around 8:30pm... More

Freshly baked cakes most days, along with English tea for Brits! Good advice on restaurants. Great breakfasts. A perfect base for some whitewater rafting (walking distance). A great change from a sequence of hotels.

Virgina has a cozy house just in front of the river and our stay was so relaxing (we needed it after a long drive to her place). The host gives you a lot of advice about your trip and our bedroom was just lovely. We would like to go back there in order to enjoy a rafting experience because we... More

We spent our wedding anniversary here and we simply loved the place. The rooms are so well decorated and equipped with contrasting furniture. Virginia is a great host and such a wealth of knowledge of where to go and what to see. The breakfast won't disappoint you. There is a large shared fridge where you can store drinks and get... More

My husband and I came to Kernville to windsurf on Lake Isabella. I had one experience here years ago, when I stayed at a dingy local motel and swore I'd never come back. I am pleased to say that we have now found a place I look forward to visiting again. Our hostess is friendly and full of good advice... More

this gem of a bed and breakfast is one of the loveliest i have ever stayed in. there is nothing pretentious about it, but most definitely the best part of our stay was miss virginia, the innkeeper. she is the most gracious hostess i have ever encountered in a and b, and her guests are made to feel like family....

For our one year wedding anniversary we decided to try a B&B. We travel to Kern fairly often and this place always caught our eye. The rooms were very welcoming and peaceful with some great views. Virginia is the*MOST* amazing cook, meeting other guests was great, and her pets make you feel welcome. Exactly like a home away from home... More

This is probably the - or one of the - most upscale lodgings in Kernville. Rooms are large and beautifully decorated without all the fussy geegaws that you sometimes find in B&B's. "Big Blue" room is just lovely, with its pale yellow and blue color scheme and fabric accents. The room and bathroom were spotless and with terrific linens and... More

Wow, what fantastic B&B. Clean, comfortable, and convenient. Delicious breakfasts, a wonderful host, and friendly pets to make the stay that much more like home. I spent two nights - one at the beginning and one at the end of my trip - and I have to say it was the best B&B experience I've ever had. Highly recommended.
