Cottage vacation rentals in Kern County

Exactly as advertised it was quiet and peaceful. It was beautiful and clean and a short drive to town and the local wineries. Truly a perfect getaway location.

This house is fantastic! It’s half way between Kernville and Lake Isabella. Great location, clean, well described, and fantastic hosts!

If you are looking for a quick getaway this little gem is for you! My guest and I are still raving about our stay. Very comfortable and incredible views. The house itself was also very squeaky clean. Can’t wait to visit again

What a lovely stay! This historic home is full of charm and thoughtful touches—from the carefully curated decor to the cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The attention to detail is clear in every room, and it’s obvious the hosts take great pride in the space. The natural lighting throughout the house was absolutely beautiful—soft, warm, and made every corner feel bright and inviting. Mornings with coffee by the window were a daily highlight. One of our favorite features was the backyard—it felt like our own private retreat. The landscaping was beautiful, and the jacuzzi? Absolutely perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Quiet, peaceful, and totally relaxing. If you’re looking for a place with character, comfort, and a little slice of tranquility, this is it. Highly recommend!

We had a great time staying at Heidi’s place. She was very quick and thorough with her responses to my questions and made it very easy for check in when we arrived. Her and her husband are very nice and did a great job showing us around the house to make sure we were completely comfortable before they left. The house and the property are beautiful and has everything you need for an amazing weekend in the mountains. Jacuzzi was perfect for a night under the stars and the bbq worked well for dinners. The beds were comfy and each room has an AC unit to adjust as needed. Will definitely be coming back to stay again

Lovely house, very peaceful. Loved looking outside the bedroom window. Also great location. Easy to find.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at this property. Every part of this property is well thought out and impeccablably maintained. Upon arrival we were able to easily access the home. The gated entrance made us feel safe and secure the entire time. Our girls loved the freedom they had riding their scooters across the giant driveway and we loved knowing they were safe from street traffic. The house is immaculate and cozy. The garage opened up to be a bonus room that we spent hours playing in. The backyard is magical. The Kern River is right at your back door. We enjoyed many meals on the patio. Some notes: The neighbors can be a little sensitive to noise, which is understandable, so keep outdoor music low. The nearest grocery store is 20 a minute drive so come prepared. We loved the on-site chicken coop and really enjoyed the farm-fresh eggs provided upon arrival. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and accommodate our requests. We hope to visit again.

Perfect location for a weekend getaway in the mountains. The place is homely and comfortable, great views and walkable to everything you need. We had a wonderful stay and will be back in the future. Highly recommended Jennifer’s place if you planning a trip to Kernville.

This house is in the absolute perfect location to experience much of what Kernville has to offer. It's walking distance to great restaurants, bars, and river rafting HQ's. The house has ample parking for multiple vehicles, although any tall van or truck is going to be a little more limited by low hanging trees. The house was cozy and comfortable with lots of sleeping options for a party of 5 or 6 people. Directions getting to the house were a little tricky, so double check where you are going before you get there.

We had an unforgettable experience at The Lookout in Stallion Springs, CA — the perfect spot to celebrate our 11-year anniversary. From the moment we arrived, the peace and beauty of the property took our breath away. The panoramic views were incredible — sunrise and sunset felt like nature’s private show, with colors we’ll never forget. The property is beautifully maintained, and Blair and his wife were such gracious and welcoming hosts. They encouraged us to explore the grounds, and we loved meeting their beautiful horses! It was a joy chatting with Blair about his amazing landscaping work. The water feature out front is a true work of art — so calming. On his recommendation, we visited P Dubs Bar & Grille and absolutely loved it — great food and atmosphere. Wildlife was everywhere — we saw wild boar, elk, and deer, which added to the magic. The setting was peaceful and serene — a true escape. Everything about our stay was perfect. Highly, Highly recommend this spot! 10/10

We felt right at home at this airbnb. It is well equipped with kitchen appliances and has an amazing view of the lake. We will be coming back!

What a gem! Pictures were true and spot on. Very clean and tidy. Host was thorough with instructions. We loved the back patio and enjoyed ourselves BBQing and relaxing. Weather was amazing. Very short drive down to the Kern River. Host was amazing and responded very quickly to any questions. Final note: loved walking outside with my morning cup of coffee hearing the Kern River. We are looking forward to returning soon.

Jennifer was very responsive right away and also accommodating, the little Villa had everything you needed and was well kept clean stylish to the location, extremely cozy. It was hard to leave, thank you Jennifer for your hospitality and looking forward to our next day. :)

Debra was such an amazing host!! She took my friends and I in during the fire evacuations in LA and was so helpful during our entire stay. She brought us fresh eggs from her friend's farm and gave us great recommendations for places to explore in the area. The cabin was so cute and cozy, we all felt so at home! Thank you Debra!!
