River Willow Cabin: Gorgeous Riverfront property by The Kern River House. Classic 50's Cabin on Kern River in the quaint Kernville neighborhood 3 miles from town center. Perfect for couples/small groups. 1 acre property with River Access & fenced yard. New: Outdoor Cedar Hot Tub! Surrounded by mountains and lush gardens. Explore the area, sit on the deck or relax by the river at a private neighborhood beach for river swimming (seasonal access). The perfect getaway to explore the southern Sierra.

The space
Our classic, updated cabin's main floor has one bedroom with a queen bed and a small adjoining bedroom with a twin xl bed. The loft is accessed by a steeper stair/ladder with handrails on both sides & a fixed baby gate at the top. The loft has a full bed & a twin sofa bed. The cabin can accommodate up to 5 people comfortably. There's a main bathroom with a tub/shower and a separate toilet room. The second bathroom is between the 2 downstairs bedrooms and is a half bath. There's no bathroom in the loft.

Perched high on granite boulders with incredible western views of the rugged Greenhorn Mountains, you'll feel right at home in your California getaway. A lovely seasonal stream sometimes runs through the property during spring runoff (California weather dependent, please inquire). You can hear the Kern River from the cabin then walk the sandy path to your own slice of riverfront. Relax in the boulder patio or swing in the hammock & take in the serene landscape. On the covered deck, unwind with yoga or a book with coffee in the morning. Watch the sunset over the majestic peaks with a cocktail in the evening. Enjoy a BBQ on the patio under the oaks. When it’s chilly outside, unwind with a board game in front of the cozy wood fireplace. The night sky gives way to stargazing and the calming sounds and scents of the southern Sierras.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find it thoughtfully designed and furnished. It's carefully appointed for comfort and convenience. Plugin or unplug – the choice is yours. Enjoy the fully stocked kitchen with locally roasted ground coffee, back deck with binoculars and rocking chairs, curated reading library, outdoor essentials: backpack, life jackets, sand toys, beach chairs, blankets & towels.
