Cutest little cottage ever. I could live there. Clean, comfy and all I could need to stay there for a week or two.

The cottage was adorable! Check in was super easy! Everything was clean and exactly as advertised! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone staying on the Kern River/near Lake Isabella!

The room was clean the beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect. The only complaint was the back door had huge cracks in the weathered door panels. We had to stuff paper towels in the cracks & the bath mat under the door to keep the room just warm enough.
