The space
In a beautiful setting nestled among mature trees and terraced garden patios, your private suite has its own gated driveway, private entrance, kitchenette/dining area, and fireplace lounge. It is the entire lower riverside level of a larger 2-story house. The upper portion of the house is not rented and will be unoccupied during your stay, so the ample property grounds and riverfront are yours alone to enjoy! The house is curated in a rustic-modern style with vintage artwork, favorite books/games, and comfortable furniture. Many thoughtful design details have gone into our space - even the cedar wood paneling is locally sourced and the fireplace is made from local river rock. We've brought the outdoors in.

Inside you’ll find a relaxing space to take in the experience of a breathtaking riverfront setting. Ideal for a couple or small family and accommodating up to 4 comfortably, the main bedroom opens to the large kitchenette and features a queen bed & a large, deep sofa. The fireplace/lounge room has a queen-size sleeper sofa. The adjoining bedrooms are separated by a short hallway with a privacy curtain. Each room has its own access to the outside.

A roomy full-size bathroom with a walk-in shower is just off of the kitchenette. You'll also have your own AC/heat, Cable TV & Wi-Fi. The well-stocked kitchenette is equipped with a dual electric countertop cooktop (*please note there is no full oven or traditional stovetop*), countertop toaster oven, microwave & mid-size fridge/freezer. Everything a chef needs for simple meals! Outside is a gas Weber BBQ (we provide the propane). Step outside to one of the patios for dinner, a glass of wine al fresco, or sit right at the river’s edge and feel the cool rush of water.

The sunrise over the eastern ridges will wake you gently to start your day. Adventure abounds for those who seek it. Hiking trails, kayaking, rafting, nature walks, paddle boarding, mountain biking, fly fishing, a nearby cedar forest, Kern River Audubon Preserve, Sequoia Park & Giant Redwoods, Isabella Lake, Salmon Creek Falls – even a quaint chairlift ski resort less than a half-hour away - are all right here in the incredibly diverse Kern River Valley and its surrounding area.

But, it’s ok to just take it easy too! Take in the magnificent sunlit ranges of the Sierras at sunset. Relax by the fireplace or play a board game in the lounge to finish off your day. As dusk gives way to a Sierra night you can explore the bountiful shooting stars. You will sleep very peacefully to the sounds of the river. Stay in or go out. The choice is yours. Either way, you’ll find the perfect stay for your plans at River’s Edge.

If you’re looking to accommodate a larger group, we do rent the entire 2-story house in another listing as "Big View House". But of course, never at the same time. However you book the house, the entire property is yours alone!

Where you’ll be

Kernville, California, United States

The River's Edge house is in a quiet, residential neighborhood just a mile from downtown Kernville. We have neighbors on either side of us. Most of the residents in town are into outdoor river life. The streets in & around town are paved, well-maintained, wide & calm. Great for walks, runs, bicycling, & scooters.

Kernville is a historic town founded during the Gold Rush era. It's also situated on a Wild and Scenic river, and the natural surroundings are breathtaking. The downtown looks like an Old West town & has been used in movie shoots.

Downtown Kernville has several restaurants, coffee shops, the Kern River Brewery, a nice museum, a playground park, some antiquing and a very good grocery store. In addition, you'll find many outfitters for rafting, kayaking, tubing, climbing, mountain biking and fly-fishing in season. We can help you decide!
