Riverview Lodge

The blinds were dirty, there was cobwebs with dead bugs on the window seal, the TV didn't work most of the time it kept freezing up , behind the microwave was dust with a dead bug on it, dead bolt didn't work on door barely had one lock to lock the door on a very outdated handle, one of the chairs that went with the table was all tore up and neither chair matched the other chair or table, ceiling fan had dust caked on it. I am very unhappy with this stay manager made excuses for the TV not working saying because it's not used often enough. They did offer to move to another room, but looked at it and it was smelly and it was too much to move all my things from upstairs.

We loved our room and rustic charm of the Lodge. The staff was friendly and kind. The location is on the river, and walking distance to everything. Great place !

Room was fine, parking was easy. Thin walls…had no one in the room next to me first two nights of my stay, third night had people next door and I could hear them snore and every move they made all night long.

Many things in room not working or not available as promised.

Great location

Don't go by first impressions as when we parked our motorcycles in front we thought "Uh Oh!!!" Once in our room it was a different story ...

Very charming and rustic with a western theme. The bed was fantastic and I got a great nights sleep. The room was spacious and had chairs and tables for our gear.

One drawback is ashtrays on tables just outside each room. If you smoke, you'll love this. If you don't, it may be a problem as the smell of cigarette smoke can linger long after the smoker has departed.

We were able to park our motorcycles in the back lot and they were safe.

We dined nearby at Ewing's and had the best meal of the entire trip there. Hint ... if you like Mac and Cheese, try the Truffle pasta. It was most excellent.

And yes ... I would definitely stay here again.

I love this little motel and the easy river access. It's rustic charm makes me smile every time.

Nice stop for a night on the road. The lodge is an older property, but you can tell there's been a lot of work put in to make it nice and comfortable. The river is right there so the family can enjoy a nice dip. Restaurants are close by. The only caution is the AC is very loud. I carry ear plugs, so was not an issue for me.

Had a great time here ☺️

The host was not present during our stay (didn’t see him/her at all), communicated with us the check in process by text only (will leave the room door unlocked and leave key and receipt in the room); I texted that our ETA was 2 pm, so I asked if they allow early check-in (check-in is supposed to be 3pm) and host texted back they open the door at 3pm, so we decided to kill time checking out Lake Isabella, then at 2:08pm we got a text that room was opened (what???); very impersonal. There are mini fridge and microwave hidden in the closet but no coffee maker. Glad that we always bring with us a small coffee maker on our trips. We know the building is rustic old, but they need to do repairs on walls that are disintegrating in the bathroom. Two things we really care about are security and cleanliness. There was no key provided for the deadbolt, only the bottom doorlock, which can easily be opened by a screw driver, so we brought our laptop with us in the car while we go around town. It felt safer to leave it in the car than in the room that we’re staying at. The room is clean but not to my standard as the floor seems to have not been mopped. To be fair, it has a very good location next to the Kern River, a big beautiful park is just across the street and restaurants and stores are just walking distances. If you’re just passing thru and need a place to stay/sleep for the night and don’t want to pay big bucks, this might be for you.

Really good spot.

We opted for a nicer king-bed room, and it was so worth it. We were right by the river with a lovely deck where we could sit and enjoy our morning coffee. Clean and comfortable room -- it was great.

Cozy cottage feeling and lovely peaceful grounds and close to the entire town. Comfortable bed and linens. Some of the water from the pipes made very loud noises, but still had proper water and flows. Hair dryer didn't work

Beautiful location
but a bit cluttered and unkept down by the river. It’s the main reason I chose this location

Room was nice and tidy / check in was super easy

Unique and warm feeeling. Friendly people and town.

Great place to stay staff was great and the atmosphere was overall amazing.

Right on the river the owners were so nice

Wonderful Place, Very Clean & Comfortable.
The cutest private river access beach & super close to all food & shopping

River is walking distance
