About this property

Kernville/ Sleeps 7/ Rafting/ Hiking Trails

Welcome to a truly special Kernville retreat—the former home of Jeanette Riogeres-Erickson, a beloved and prominent member of the Kernville community. This thoughtfully preserved home reflects the warmth, care, and sense of connection she was known for, offering guests a chance to stay somewhere that feels meaningful, not manufactured.

Nestled in the scenic Kern River Valley and is NOT located near the entrance of Sequoia National Forest.

Tucked into the heart of Kernville, this home blends local history with modern comfort. Whether you’re here for river adventures, hot springs, hiking, or a quiet reset in the mountains, this space invites you to slow down and feel at home.

The Space

This beautiful castle features two bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen-sized bed. As well as two sofa sleepers in the spacious and opulently decorated living room.

Every corner of the home reflects the character and care of someone who deeply loved this community.
