The property was decorated with mid century cabin charm inside and outside the garden area had distinct seating spaces to enjoy whether you wanted to dine alfresco, take a siesta in the hammock or chill on the patio listening to the river flow. All the amenities were high quality and plentiful. I wish we could have the bed shipped home it was so comfortable. I would stay there again without hesitation.
This is our 2nd time staying at River Willow Cabin. My husband and I and our dog very much enjoy this location. Relaxing beside the river is so tranquil. Just what we needed. Also, enjoyed our day trips up into the Sequoia National Forest. Rob and Carol are wonderful hosts. Cabin has all the amenities you need. Can't wait until our next visit!
The hosts communicated well, provided tons of information about the property and the local area, as well as some coupons. The cabin was beautiful, very clean and well appointed. Coffee was provided from a local brewer. Lots of things there that I didn't have to pack. We can't wait to come back!
We booked this place last minute (a week before our wedding) as a mini-moon. We wanted somewhere nearby Sequoia National Park where we could bring our dog and this place ended up being a wonderful choice. We were rained in for most of our 3 night stay so we never made it to the national park but it was very relaxing lounging around the house, doing jigsaw puzzles by a roaring fire and relaxing in the hot tub.There's not much to the town nearby, maybe a half dozen stores and restaurants each, and most didn't even open until Thursday, which was unfortunate because we showed up on a Tuesday and left on a Friday. I'm guessing that's part due to us coming in March, but who knows. If we make another go at the park, I'd be willing to come back, I'd just make sure to plan to cook my own food for the stay.
Me and my husband plus our Doberman boy had the best relaxing time there. The attention to details made all the diference. This is a very special location and I could stay there forever :)
Thank you guys for an amazing stay and for the hospitality.
Would definetly come back
Absolutely fabulous!!! The cabin and all of the amenities are absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately we had to leave early however we will definitley be back. Rob and Carol and also Beth (their assistant) went above and beyond. Thank you so much!
Very comfortable in every aspect. It was obvious that the hosts had put a great deal of thought into making our stay enjoyable, with amenities you would only find in a 5 star hotel. This will be a definite repeat!
I've used Vrbo to find rentals for years. This is the first time the property owner had communicated with me around check in time to make sure everything was perfect and to assure us they are there to help. Both Carol and Rod were quick in response and extremely helpful with any questions I had. The property itself was breathtaking. The hot tub under the string lights made for a beautiful night. My favorite part was the seating by the river for early morning peace and quiet. I hope we can return again for our future kern river trips. Thank you Rod and Carol for hosting such a beautiful rental.
We stayed in August 2024, visiting from Indiana. The property is amazing! We swam in the river every day and spent the evenings cooking out, roasting marshmallows, and soaking in the hot tub. The hosts checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything and even suggested additional swimming areas near by. Cabin had everything we needed, everything was good quality, and the beds were very comfortable. Overall a wonderful place to stay. We drove north to the Sequoias and it was a quick drive with beautiful lookouts along the way. Highly recommend this propery!
The cabin is a great stay with all the features youâd hope for. The pictures donât do it justice. But the location is a hidden gem for those interested in fishing. The âBubbles Beachâ location, about a 7 minute easy trail walk away is a perfect âhoney holeâ for trout. Easy and sandy beach access makes it convenient to reel in and land your fish but its location at the mouth of two converging rivers make it a perfect spot for trout to hang out and wait for food. We stayed there most of the time and didnât even need to venture out looking for other spots along the river. Very private and peaceful location. Would love to return.
The property was perfect for my husband and I and our 2 big dogs. Lots of room for the dogs to roam around and explore a little. The house is fully supplied with all sorts of amenities. All you need to bring is your food and sunblock. Will definitely rebook this site again. Loved it!!
We experienced ultimate relaxation during our stay at the cabin. It had everything we could possibly need and more! The scenery was beautiful, activities abundant, and the cabin was cozy in every way! We definitely hope to return soon!
Thank you! What a marvelous retreat spot you have here. We have had the most perfect, relaxing, delightful stay and love everything about this place. It was the perfect choice for us. We love your style and taste. The art! All the carefully thought-through details, including the fenced-in front yard and deck, outdoor shower, and both beaches.
Kind regards and huge thanks,
Gina, Doug, and Tilly
A beautiful property in a beautiful spot. The owners were easy to communicate with and there were so many thoughtful touches around the property. This place, and Kernville in general, were definitely a highlight of our trip!
There are not enough great things to say about our trip to The River House! The location is spectacular. The house itself has everything you could possibly think of needing on vacation. It is close to town. The hosts were wonderful and gave us so many recommendations for hikes, adventures, and eating. If I had any questions they were quick to respond. I only wish we had more time there. Definitely wanting to take a trip back!!!! Thanks so much :) I wish I could give 10 stars.
Well stocked and comfortable/cozy cabin right on the river. We loved listening to the sound of the rushing water and the views of the hills beyond are gorgeous! Definitely would recommend this place and would stay there again!
Great House, lovely yard, sound of rushing river from the back deck was so soothing. We spend most of our time outdoors enjoying the amenities offered at this location. Carol & Rod were very responsive & wonderful hosts. They have thought of everything you might need in kitchen & bathrooms. Even had a book light in one of the bedroom nightstands! This was the exact kind of getaway my Husband and I needed. Can't wait to book again!
This home and property is amazing. Had a great time getting away from the city and enjoying the great outdoors. The property was perfect for us and our 2 daughters and two dogs. Very welcoming and inviting.
Thank you so much!
Hope to come back again soon. đ
We had a lovely stay at the river willow house. All lovely and cozy design throughout. We remarked on how it smelled good as we walked in the first time. Our kids had a great time âcamping outâ in the quaint loft space, and exploring the expansive river front property. Looking forward to future visits. The property owner was kind enough to offer to send a personal item accidentally left behind. Great experience all around.
If your looking for everything that The kern river has to offer. Look no further. The River Willow Cabin gives you your own private area of the river for you to enjoy. The cabin is very comfortable and the owners have offered every little item to make your stay there comfortable. My family spent my of our time there just listening to the river and sipping on coffee. My family all commented on missing the place after checking out. The kitchen is complete with everything to make great meal there. Everything just seemed easy and easy going and this is a reflection of the owners attention to detail. Thank you for creating a truly relaxing stay at your beautiful home.
One of the most comfortable places ever. All details for comfort are attended to. Beautifully appointed and well stocked kitchen. Will have many return stays here.
