Great location(patio looking down Kern River) and views and close to restaurants. People we encountered were very friendly. One down side, water was down/shut off the most of second day due to plumbing work for water leak, caused us inconvenience.

Perfect location for a quiet retreat in the mountains. The views are spectacular, as you see mountains and the Kern river from pool balconies. We got to see mountains on our balcony. Rooms are quiet and balconies are private. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfy. Lots of parking, and I felt extremely safe. Lots of toiletries, teas, coffee, and water. Easy check in and check out. Definitely would stay again!

Over all 4.5. The staff is so nice and very accommodating. We had a couple mishaps, but i think its due to the age of the property. Staff was quick to jump on it. We would stay here again.
