Innkeeper Note
Kernville sits at the northern tip of Lake Isabella and the Kern River Valley, about 45 miles northeast of Bakersfield. The climate is high desert with clear sunny skies for about 300 days a year. The town maintains its gold rush and old west roots to attract tourists and take advantage of nearby natural scenery and outdoor activities. Located in downtown Kernville, the Inn, built in 1990, overlooks the Kern River and has five guest rooms, all with private bathrooms. There is a bright and open floor plan, with the owner living on the premises. The Kern River Inn has a great reputation for its personal service, gourmet food, private dinners and luncheon teas.

“Amazing stay”
Gracie TLancaster, CA
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.

“Consistently the best”
Mary Anne Theilmann6/11/2010
I've stayed at Virginia's Kern River Inn B&B many times over the past four years; this has been after trying other venues in the area. Once I found Virginia's I'll never change. It is always welcoming, spotless, comfortable, and relaxing. The breakfasts are large and delicious; a perfect start to the day. Since I travel to Kernville often to visit family I feel fortunate to be able to stay at such a lovely inn each time.

I arrived on Friday May 21st and stayed through the 23rd, 2010. We were greeeted by Virginia a very friendly innkeeper and her furry housemates, Max, Poppy and Sierra. The rooms were quaint beautiful and clean. Breakfast was amazing! I loved the apple sausage for breakfast and the bluberry crofutties! We enjoyed Max the innkeepers assistant and felt at home and comfortable for our whole stay.
Thank you Virginia for such a great stay!
