Nice “country” inn by the river in Kernville
Wonderful little Inn by the Kern River. It’s a bit rugged, but for the price was really nice. It’s a great place for travelers in the area that are looking for something that doesn’t feel like your traditional “corporate” franchise hotel. This is a local Inn with a nice country feel to it.
