Lake Isabella Getaway: Modern Comforts

TriciaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Christine’s place was a great stay for our week in Lake Isabella!! It’s in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, nice big back yard for our dog to roam around and to sit out at night to gaze at all the stars!!! Home was clean and looked just like listing. Bed was very comfortable with nice linens and pillows. Kitchen was well stocked to make meals, with nice pots and pans. Check in was easy and house was easy to find. It is a short drive into town(10 minutes) and into Kernville(20 minutes) The lake is so close and has so many spots to pull off and do a little fishing or just hang out. Lots of hiking trails, make the trip up to see the Trail of 100 Giants and Nobe Young Creek Falls!! Lastly Christine was a great host…..very responsive, and very sweet! Totally recommend Christine and her home.

Shannon's place is a gem. It is a house of 4 bedrooms and 2 baths (one in the master bedroom), fully equipped kitchen, and washer and drier, with an excellent location in town. Albertsons supermarket is within a 4-minute drive. The area is quiet and beautiful. The host is great: responsive and kind: she allowed us a late checkout, after we asked about it. Everyone of our big party of 6 adults, a toddler and a baby enjoyed very much staying at Shannon's place. Overall: well deserved 5 stars!
