Incredible place to stay in Kernville
The Lazy Squirrel is the perfect place to stay in Kernville. The location is 5 mins from every restaurant and the river. The game room and wrap around porch are so cool. Nature and wildlife are all around you. We woke up to deer, quail, squirrels, and bluebirds with our coffee every morning.

Wonderful Stay
We planned to do river rafting but they would not do it for 3 people and no other guest around this time of year. There were plenty of other activities also, like trail hikes, fishing, and just going around this really small community with their limited dining and entertainment facilities. If you plan to come here, outdoors/nature should be most of what you are hoping to do. Bring your high quality video/photo drone. I had so many excellent footages of lake isabella and kern river. Be prepare for possible power outages. It cost us about a day lost of our stay, which of course wasn’t expected and at no fault of the rental place/people. But Christine, was more than kind enough to drive about 30 minutes, although wasn’t feeling well, to come to our aide and compensated us a little bit. Hope this comment gives a little info for those considering this place. Overall experience is a positive one!

Quiet and peaceful stay
Great hostess, easy to reach and prompt to respond. The house is very comfortable and the A/C was a lifesaver! The only complaint is that although the listing description and check in/out instructions mentioned a laundry room when in fact none exists.

Great place horrible host
We were very excited for our stay and adventure on the rapids of the kern. We booked the location as it was near the main town. Place was nice overall except that the AC unit was not working. We had young children and it was over 80 degrees in the house. Repeatedly requested service from the host and they pretended it was working in the messages. They then had the audacity to say we were lying about the ac not working while I have video and pictures and the message log. They also indicated that they would not make any accommodations for the very uncomfortable stay. I would not recommend staying here solely on the host. We stay at many properties all over the country and I have never experienced a host trying to say that we are lying when all the evidence is clear. Book at your own risk.

We were there on the 4th of July looking to purchase property in the area. The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings. It is close to town and shopping. Very well maintained and clean.

Beautiful cozy mountain retreat
Beautiful, beautiful, home. Clean, neat, minimal peaceful sanctuary. The home is equipped with everything you would need. The kitchen was fully equipped with ALL of the essentials for any cook. Bedrooms were spacious, clean, cozy beds and bedding. Bathrooms were super clean and spacious. The Main bedroom and bath were both wheelchair accessible. The entire home had ramps for this purpose. What lovely and needed accomodations. There is a lively and fun game room that afforded our family many hours of fun games and we'll spent family time. Overall, I would 100% recommend this home to anyone and everyone. For all age groups and family sizes. Lovely and unforgettable stay. Thank you for the memories!

Great place to stay in Kernville
We loved it but the water for the tub was extremely hot for some reason and we couldn't change it to get any cooler so we each took turns taking a shower in the master bathroom. Otherwise the A/C worked great and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed.

Perfect weekend getaway!
The house is nestled about a mile from the town. The wrap around balcony/porch was wonderful for morning coffee and evening relaxing. Lots of space in all the rooms and bathrooms. We had my dog with us and it was a perfect setup (minus the driveway gate not closing) but it’s still manageable. Our only gripe, that isn’t really a gripe is the difficulty to open the outdoor trash can lol … but after experiencing a bear on our last night there it was totally understandable why the trash can is smarter than I was lol. Overall, highly recommend for any group and all ages.

Fabulous Kern Getaway
We had a great time staying here. It slept five adults very comfortably with so much room inside for us to hang out. The pictures really do not do this place justice.
