We chose the location for a short weekend break primarily due to its proximity to Sequoia Park. It was perfect. Clean, spacious and very well appointed. The proximity of restaurants and shopping was a bonus. Definitely recommend. Thanks Alena for your hospitality.

We had the best time staying at Birdies cabin. Myself, my husband and our two children were blown away when we arrived. Everything at the cabin exceeded our expectations. I have to say a huge thank you to Birdie for your quick responses and advice. I would highly recommend birdies cabin. The views are incredible, the kids loved the giant connect 4 and the smores station you set up! We are on a once in a lifetime American road trip with the family, but I would absolutely love to return again in the future. Thank you so much xx

Cozy Cottage at Nexus Ranch near Sequoia Natl Park

RolandRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Wow. All the reviews were right. This place is magical. The land is lush and beautiful, the farm animals were so sweet and we loved watching them graze the open pastures. We fished in the pond, played disc golf with Tom and our dogs were in heaven. We already feel home sick and can’t wait to plan another trip back to the ranch. Our new favorite place.

Paradise Ranch Inn Stellar House Hot-Tub,Sauna .

NancyRating, 5 stars3 days ago

It truly takes a visionary to bring a paradise like this to life. Kenneth is an exceptional host, responsive, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about creating an unforgettable experience. The energy here is incredible! Peaceful, Grounding, and healing! The house is stunning. Every detail has been carefully considered, reflecting a deep sense of care and intention. Kenneth’s values shine through in everything, from the aesthetic choices to the high-end, eco-friendly products provided . Impeccable taste and a strong commitment to sustainability and supporting local businesses. The bed was comfortable. We loved using the sauna and taking a refreshing plunge into the river. The hot tub was a dream, and the on-site gym, yoga mats, and the scenic hike to the nearby waterfall made this experience feel complete. It wasn’t just a stay, it was a journey for the mind, body, and soul. Highly, highly recommended.

Johnny’s place was perfect. It is clean, in such convenient location, fenced in yards which was so much fun for the dogs. Johnny left so many good recommendations and we ended up going to a few of the spots on the list and it was well worth it! When I come back I will look up this place to stay first.

This was our 8th time staying at Rio's Ranch. Always a pleasure and very relaxing. The views are spectacular and Mike and Diana are exceptional hosts. Their home is always clean and well equipped and is relatively isolated from neighboring properties, affording a quiet, peaceful stay. Trails are accessible to the south from the house, and other, popular trails are a short drive away. Rio's Ranch is our first choice. And it's pet friendly!

WendyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Linda's home was one of the best that I have stayed at. Looks just like the photos! The home is so dreamy and the river in the backyard is out of this world. Jaw dropping experience! Words cannot explain how beautiful and comfortable this home is. They have all kitchen appliances, utensils + shampoo and conditioner which is super great and helpful while traveling. All we had to take was our clothes and some food. Looking forward to another stay here in the future.

A California Country Experience - Tehachapi

RyanRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This house was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s beautifully built, clean, comfortable, and incredibly welcoming. The fireplace in the library was amazing and created such a cozy atmosphere, especially as we spotted deer through the windows. The well-stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare family meals, and the overall experience was worth every penny. The in-person tour with the property manager was incredibly helpful in navigating the expansive 7,000-square-foot space. This house made it easy to create core memories that will stay with us forever. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here as a family and will definitely be rebooking for future stays!

Lakeview Legacy Lodge and Lake Isabella

BrittanyRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This spot is great for big groups, as we had 5 rooms our family could split, and an option for more rooms at additional cost (access to lodge bathroom with rental of 1+ of these added rooms). Each hotel-style room had its own bathroom with shower. Kitchen was stocked with most everything we needed to use to make meals, and there is a charcoal BBQ for use as well. There is a small park walking distance as well as a general market for last minute supplies, or you can drive a bit further for more options. We had a great time and are looking forward to our next visit!

Hummingbird House

HarisRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Although I've stayed in several Airbnb's, it's always been with a group. This was my first time being the renter and I couldn't have picked a better situation to be my first. John was honestly awesome. To start, he's very selective on who he rents to. He took time to understand the purpose of my trip to ensure that his property was a good fit. John provided step by step detail to ensure we had a smooth transition into the property. The property was 100% as described. Very close to Kernville which included restaurants, grocery stores and tourism options. Quiet neighborhood, extremely close to the beautiful Lake Isabella! During my stay John was extremely attentive and responsive to text messages and phone calls. He even arranged for maid service mid stay while we were out of town. It's safe to say that John went above and beyond our expectations as a host. He's truly a superhost. And someone I plan on staying in contact with as a friend. Thank you for an amazing experience John!

A scenic view is presented from the deck, capturing the sunset over rolling hills. The sky displays a gradient of soft colors, while the lake reflects the shifting hues. An ornamental lamp is visible in the foreground, complementing the tranquil landscape.
