Gourmet Kitchen, Recently Renovated Craftsman
We loved everything about our stay, and our three year old specially loved the playhouse in the backyard. Everything is renovated, clean. The surrounding blocks are very enjoyable to walk in the mornings and evenings. The four bedrooms are spacious and have their own a/c unit so you can personalize the temperature.

Allen est un hôte réactif quand il s’agit de le contacter. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Great home to stay at. My 2 kids felt right at home. Loved running around the house and around the yard! I would definitely book again when I’m in Bakersfield!

Valverde Oasis - 4BD Getaway Near Town Center

Casita near airport great backyard pet-friendly!
While coming to Bakersfield for a family member's graduation, Pedro's home made it feel like we were at a home away from home. It was extremely accommodating and just what we wanted to experience from our visit to Bakersfield.

Kern River Cottage and Camping-2.5 acres of oasis
My family and I had a wonderful experience at this property. Every part of this property is well thought out and impeccablably maintained. Upon arrival we were able to easily access the home. The gated entrance made us feel safe and secure the entire time. Our girls loved the freedom they had riding their scooters across the giant driveway and we loved knowing they were safe from street traffic. The house is immaculate and cozy. The garage opened up to be a bonus room that we spent hours playing in. The backyard is magical. The Kern River is right at your back door. We enjoyed many meals on the patio. Some notes: The neighbors can be a little sensitive to noise, which is understandable, so keep outdoor music low. The nearest grocery store is 20 a minute drive so come prepared. We loved the on-site chicken coop and really enjoyed the farm-fresh eggs provided upon arrival. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and accommodate our requests. We hope to visit again.

Spacious home with pool & freeway access
Really great space for our group! Lots of space, solid beds, good place to sleep and hang out. Maribel was super responsive and communicative. Thanks for hosting!

Cozy Hygge Home Centrally Located 2 King Beds
The house was nice and the beds were comfortable, but the backyard was like a little paradise. There are fruit trees, a swimming pool, and a nice covered patio area.

We all really enjoyed the swimming pool and there were a couple of inflatables available for use as well, which was a nice touch. Martha was quick to respond to any questions I had.

Play & Stay Escape-Game Room, Pool, Hot Tub
This place was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. our family loved every minute we were there. The house was very clean and comfortable. The patio was perfect for sitting and enjoying some games, the pool was wonderful and had toys to play with, the jacuzzi was nice and relaxing, the game room was awsome and had so much to do. I don't think you could ever get bord staying in this house. It's just enough space for everyone to be comfortable. My family is already planning another trip. The host was always quickly responsive with any questions I had. Their were little touches like the seasonings in the cabinet and the snacks in the little basket that made it even nicer.

Your guide to Bakersfield
All About Bakersfield
Situated in California’s San Joaquin Valley, one of the world’s largest agricultural areas, the city of Bakersfield boasts a unique combination of rural and urban flair. The Kern River running through town lends itself to rafting and tubing excursions, and at the heart of the city you’ll find numerous parks, public pools, and golf courses to keep you busy outdoors. The arts district in Bakersfield is dotted with art galleries, museums, music venues, and a performance theatre that stages shows throughout the year.
Vineyards, orchards, and almond and citrus groves cover its outlying regions, providing the bounty for the area’s famous farmers’ markets. Beyond the farmland, the mountains that partially surround Bakersfield offer the perfect landscape for hiking and biking.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Bakersfield
Bakersfield’s hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters are typical of its arid subtropical climate. Spring and fall are a pleasant time to book vacation rentals in Bakersfield if you’re looking to avoid the summer heat. Not only are the temperatures pleasant during these seasons, they’re also popular times for events and festivals in the area. In September, the Bakersfield Village Fest features food booths, local beer and wine, and several music stages. The Bakersfield Greek Food Festival is another popular fall event, with live music, traditional dancing, and authentic Greek delicacies. Spring means colorful blooms of wildflowers in Kern County’s wild spaces. The Arvin Wildflower Festival in spring, a 30-minute drive away, features a carnival, entertainment, food, and crafts.
