Cottage vacation rentals in Kern County

We absolutely loved the place. It’s so beautiful comfortable and cozy! We will definitely be back.

The host was very responsive to any questions we had . When circumstances changed she was incredibly understanding with our situation . The views are amazing and the rental very well appointed .

We visit this area often and hope to stay here again. comfortable home. beautiful area. everything we needed for a weekend getaway

If you’re ever in Bakersfield and in need of a place to stay, don’t pass this place up! I can’t believe I’m sharing this because I want it all to myself anytime I’m in town. The light in the house is amazing, the vintage feel was spot on and the back yard gives off such a relaxing vibe.

We had a great time staying at Heidi’s place. She was very quick and thorough with her responses to my questions and made it very easy for check in when we arrived. Her and her husband are very nice and did a great job showing us around the house to make sure we were completely comfortable before they left. The house and the property are beautiful and has everything you need for an amazing weekend in the mountains. Jacuzzi was perfect for a night under the stars and the bbq worked well for dinners. The beds were comfy and each room has an AC unit to adjust as needed. Will definitely be coming back to stay again

Lovely house, very peaceful. Loved looking outside the bedroom window. Also great location. Easy to find.

we are so grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here. it was the perfect retreat for quality family time. the host has put a lot of thought into making the property a peaceful escape - a beautiful balance of nature and comfort.

Private convenient place near all the restaurants that are worth going to in Kernville. Jennifer also let me check in early which was great!

Super convenient location, lots of front parking, felt right at home. Would definitely consider staying here in the future

Garrett's Lookout has an incredible view and a welcoming host. It is especially beautiful in the morning with fresh air and the sun. Thanks for sharing your spot and kindness.

A bit off the beaten path in Wofford Heights, but everything worth getting to is close enough. Dean and his crew were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and we're TOTALLY cool with reserving this spot again whenever we come back to Lake Isabella.

This is a great off-grid location in the mountains of Tehachapi. The temp is at least 10 degrees cooler than at lower elevations. If you are high maintenance, this is not the place for you. Think of this as a place to chill and relax and/or as a central rooting spot for your outdoor adventures! Tom and Kristen are great hosts and very responsive. The house is rustic and there is a chance the power could go off in the middle of the night as it is run by both solar and generator although Tom is great about getting it up and running again if it goes out. The road to get to the house is twisty and unpaved as you get higher up the mountain. I def recommend 4WD but FWD will get you there if no snow! The inside is clean and there are great books upstairs on the wall to wall bookcase. There is a nice deck with beautiful views. The area is heavily forested but sunset and moonrise can be seen from the deck - sometimes at the same time. There is great hiking both around the house and if you drive to Tehachapi Mountain State Park, a great 2.5 mile hike to the top with incredible views. The house is dog friendly and also gets visits from local dogs especially gigantic but super sweet Alaskan Malamute dogs Ghost and Koda. They were fascinated with my little dogs and desperately wanted to play with them. They also accompanied me on hikes/walks on the unpaved roads. If you walk up Grimsel, there are incredible views and walking with 2 huge dogs at sunset made me feel safe from any possible bears or mountain lions - not that I saw any but you’re in the mountains so a possibility! Besides Tom and Kristen, I want to say that everyone I met in town were the nicest people. And if you want a great bakery, then a trip to Kohnens Country Bakery is not to be missed. Also Carlos’Donuts and the Burrito and Coffee stand next to Carlos’! The burritos are HUGE and can easily be split. Wildrose has the cheapest gas by more than $1 anywhere else in town. So upshot, if you’re an outdoor person or just looking to unplug (I had almost no cell reception - 1 bar or 2 on the deck!) this is the place to go. I did a lot of driving around both on the mountain and in the flats just exploring. I’m sure in the fall and winter that it’s beautiful, and I am looking forward to coming back!

Debra was such an amazing host!! She took my friends and I in during the fire evacuations in LA and was so helpful during our entire stay. She brought us fresh eggs from her friend's farm and gave us great recommendations for places to explore in the area. The cabin was so cute and cozy, we all felt so at home! Thank you Debra!!
