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.
