“This lodge wins on location, sitting directly across from the river and near restaurants-a sweet spot in Kernville. From what I gathered, the rooms are clean and well-equipped, and I like that certain rooms are far enough from other guests to have privacy. For future visits, I'd book an upstairs room or one of the mini houses-they seem ideal.”
