The manager Bruce went above and beyond to make our stay at the Kern Lodge. It was a pleasure to see a manager(Bruce) so hands on. From doing esthetic maintainance, to assisting his guests with guidance of the local area, and even helping out open a locked door with the key on the wrong side of it. I can't wait to stay again. This was my fourth stay this year and most memorable. Thank you to the staff of the Kern Lodge.
