Testimonials

Here are some testimonials sent by our customers.

“This is a delightful 5 bedroom house overlooking the Kern River, which is just across the road as it cuts through the peaceful little town of Kernville. Owner / Innkeeper Virginia is charming and gracious, and has succeeded in creating an especially relaxing and homey atmosphere.”
LATimes Readers Recommend, August 2004
“The relaxing cozy rooms, the beautiful river in sight, quiet nights and an amazing breakfast make this the place I want to return to. Virginia is an amazing cook, with ideas for you to do while visiting. We met some very friendly and enjoyable people sharing the house too.”

“We really enjoyed the warm hospitality in the Kern River Inn B&B, the room was pleasant and absolutely clean. Kernville is also a very nice town to just to do an evening stroll. Highly recommend this B&B.”

“We stayed here 3 times during 2006 and each visit was a delight. Virginia is a wonderful hostess and her breakfasts are splendid. We felt so at home during each visit and will definitely return in 2007. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the twilight listening to the river flowing right across the street.”
