Ariel
we travel to the Kern River at least once a month and I’ve stated in many properties. No more. From now on whispering pines lodge will be the only location where we stay in Kernville. It was beyond our expectations, everything about it felt like home.
Martha
So cute. Large room and bath. Lovely view. Owners very helpful. Cute cute grounds.

Great staff!

Room was extremely clean Loved the bathroom Staff was pleasant and helpful Air conditioning was a little outdated but worked fine Parking a little crowded We were in unit 4 and door handle was a little loose Would definitely stay here again if opportunity came up Beautiful grounds!

Great place and beautiful location! Really loved the River facing cabin and was able to listen to the flows all night! Cool balcony and lovely pool and grounds.
Kumar
Suggest this for families
Deborah
Whispering Pines is an amazing place to stay for a little mountain getaway🌲🌲
The staff are great people and extremely helpful. Close enough to town to be convenient but away enough that you feel like you’re alone in nature💙

Alyssa
Great place to stay, will be staying there again on our next visit.
Dale
Had reserved the River facing room, plans changed and had to rebook and got a kitchenette. It was perfect. They could use a few more forks and spoons, but that’s all. Bed slept great and loved being up high watching the Ravens and woodpeckers. Like a tree house. #102 oh and the staff were all excellent!
Steve
nice view, depending on which room you get, there may be some obstruction by a large tree. But we were there for nature, so not a big deal.
David
This was the first time we stayed here! Everything was great and we will definitely be coming back!
Vincent
We came to Kern to watch the jets on the sidewinder and not only did the jets not disappoint, the place was immaculate. Will be our forever stay when we come to Kern.
Thomas
yes
Graham
Lovely place to have a short stay. If we had known in advanced how much we would have enjoyed it we would have stayed longer. We had a plum room overlooking the river and mountains with a balcony to boot, and the swimming pool, though unheated was pleasurable to use and also had magnificent views.
Jessie
Clean room, wonderful views
Bavand
This place is filthy and old. I was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease. Everything is so old and dirty that we couldn’t even complete our stay. I’m not sure who can stay in this kind of situation.
Timothy
We’re going back again,we loved it 👍

All around enjoyable stay.

Timothy
Great staff, Shaye was awesome!
Lamar
We’ve stayed here before and like the previous visit, the rooms were clean and comfortable. We stayed in Room 10 and one of the bathroom sinks was clogged and the fan sounded like it was broken. I would recommend these are fixed.

Love Kernville and Whispering Pines Lodge
Since 2023, we’ve been coming back to Kernville annually. Whispering Pines Lodge is the only place we considered staying at. We’ve travelled to many places, stayed at various hotels/inns/cottages but never stayed in the same place 2x except at Whispering Pines Lodge. It’s like home away from home, a sanctuary when we want to decompress and just relax.
Daniel
We really enjoyed our stay
Mike
Great place
Valerie at reception was amazing. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Oscar
Nice
First time staying here while visiting Kernville. Nice room. We stayed in the couch suite which was plenty of room for me and my family. Great location.
Whitney
Beautiful Rustic Place to Stay!
Beautiful place to stay! Our room had a fireplace, and a separate shower and tub. We also had a patio that overlooked the water and mountains!
Belinda
Cozy and comfortable
Donald
The staff went above and beyond to get our room ready as we arrived early. If you are looking to fish, hike, or commune with nature this is your place. I would recommend staying here any time of the year.
John
We have stayed here for ywars and as usual, we loved this quaint lodge and qill continue to make this our go to destination.
Robert
Nice room, nice pool, great view from the balcony
Ryan
Love the seclusion and charm of this lodge. Pool looked immaculate, and the wooded surroundings are ideal for any getaway. Best feature is the patio deck off each room.... beautiful views!
Regina
Quaint cabins along river. Kern river brewery just a couple minutes away. We enjoyed the stay.
Jonathan
Love this place
I’ve been trying to come here at least once a year ever since covid…we stayed here once when I was a child and now I have a baby and wanted him to experience this great place I enjoyed with my parents almost 30yrs ago!
June
Great location(patio looking down Kern River) and views and close to restaurants. People we encountered were very friendly.
One down side, water was down/shut off the most of second day due to plumbing work for water leak, caused us inconvenience.

Jeff
We had a great time & loved the hotel. We'll be back again.
Lisa
Perfect location for a quiet retreat in the mountains. The views are spectacular, as you see mountains and the Kern river from pool balconies. We got to see mountains on our balcony. Rooms are quiet and balconies are private. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfy. Lots of parking, and I felt extremely safe. Lots of toiletries, teas, coffee, and water. Easy check in and check out. Definitely would stay again!

Over all 4.5. The staff is so nice and very accommodating. We had a couple mishaps, but i think its due to the age of the property. Staff was quick to jump on it.
We would stay here again.

Jens
Wunderbar gelegene Lodge, in Flussnähe (mit Zugang per Treppe). Zimmer mit Kamin. Großes Badezimmer. Einziges Manko waren die quietschenden Betten/Matratzen, der Schlaf war dennoch gut.
Melissa
Amazing lodge with a beautiful view of water running through forests and a mountain in the background. Their neon sign is reason enough to pick the places, it’s gorgeous! Everything was walkable. We loved this little town as well.
Erin
This is a wonderful place with an amazing view. Very peaceful and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Eugene
The room was clean, the property was nice.
We were told to be careful with the drapes.... so we kept the room dark... not ideal.
Should be in-room instructions on how to operate the ac and fan.

Pam
Worked with us on the late check-in very nicely thru texts which was greatly appreciated.
Alex
The Whispering Pines is a great mountain retreat. We were greeted by a colorful neon sign. I love the wood cabin feel of the rooms. The bathroom was extremely large with two sinks, a separate shower, and a separate tub. Our room overlooked the mountains and river, which was gorgeous. We even had a balcony. The staff made sure we had all the information we needed upon check in. The location is extremely convenient—right outside the main center of Kernville. Our only issue was that the bathroom floor was a bit sticky, and our ceiling fans had a lot of dust buildup on them. The pool overlooking the mountains is nice, but if it were heated, that would be better since the water stays cold due to the cold nights.
