Down by the River in the Sierras
Perched high on boulders of the riverbank with incredible western views of the rugged Greenhorn Mountains and the river babbling at your doorstep, this lovely cabin in the Sequoia area of Kernville is a private and idyllic oasis on over an acre.
Skillfully restored and modernized by a California couple without losing the warmth and atmosphere of nature, the house has both the hallmarks of vintage mid-century design and a classic cabin feel.
Hunters of unique and found items, the hosts have populated the home with lots of treasures that add to the cabin's charm and have designed the spaces to be a fun-filled family-friendly place to play and enjoy the great outdoors.
The main room is anchored by the large river rock fireplace, with a sunny dining area and a modern kitchen with original vintage finishes. There is one double bedroom, a second twin bedroom, plus a double loft with a full a second twin pullout.
Surrounded by mountains and lush landscapes, you'll want to relax in the rock garden, laze about in the hammock, BBQ and dine under the oaks, and admire the sunset mountain views from the covered deck.
RIVERKERN
Nestled within the Sequoia National Forest, Riverkern is a lovely small community just a few miles upstream from downtown Kernville, where you'll find several shops, cafes, markets, restaurants, and bars—and plenty of outdoor adventure outfitters for rafting, kayaking, paddle boarding and fly fishing in the area.
The area is home to an incredibly diverse and beautiful natural environment with endless possibilities to explore and play. Just a short drive north of the cabin is the scenic highway along the Kern River, where you can pull off the road and drop a line right in, continue on to the nearby Trail of 100 Giants, Isabella Lake, Ponderosa and Kern Plateau, or hike into the Golden Trout Wilderness to check out the many trails in the stunning Sequoias. There's even a single chair lift ski resort less than a half-hour away.
In Kernville, there are museums, restaurants, parks, shopping, hiking biking, river, and lake sports all within a few miles.
