Learn more about Lake Isabella
Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, this reservoir offers prime fishing spots where locals catch trout before the midday heat. Rent a boat to explore hidden coves, or head to nearby Kernville for whitewater rafting when the Kern River runs highest in late spring.

We visited for four days during July 2017. Had a great stay at this location!! Sarge and Debbie, the owners, do a fantastic job of making you feel at home and welcomed!! The rooms are clean with working AC and Cable TV, not that you'll spend much time in your room with all of the outdoor activities in the area!! The property has direct access down to Kern River, with great places to sit back and enjoy the views and meditate by the water.
There is a General Store right across the street,...

We enjoyed our stay here. Our room had one queen bed with kitchenette (didn't use). Walls were pretty knotty pine that gave the room a cabin feel. Front desk employees exceptionally friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, remote control A/C system, color TV. Reserved parking space right outside the door. No, it is not like the chain hotel we usually stay in, with a small amount of green tile in the bathroom, no tub, and a real room key instead of a key card, but it fit its location...

What a beautiful hotel. The surrounding nature is so pristine and peaceful. A babbling stream and waterfalls with lush greenery made my mind immediately feel at ease. The lodge itself is so cozy, very clean and my room had beautiful views of the surrounding trees and I could hear the stream when I opened my window. The hotel manager, Adam, was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. I travelled on my own and felt this will be my new happy place, anytime I need some time out in nature. The...

Perfect mix of camping but with some of the comforts of home. The restrooms and showers were clean and well stocked. There were dinner options nearby and it was pretty close to trail of 100 giants. Probably best to visit late summer once nights start to cool down. My husband and I had a blast and can’t wait to visit again with our kiddo.
