Such a wonderful, relaxing property with top notch staff. Hiked to all the waterfalls on property, enjoyed the in-room tub, the included breakfasts were convenient and really tasty, and driving to local hikes and Kernville was super easy. Nice way to unplug, but still have great amenities. Loved it!

It was in a beautiful location, if that's what you're looking for. Expedia said it was 11 miles from town. It is about a 50 to 60 minute drive. The actual property wasnt cleared for adventuring. Also, expedia said it would sleep 6...it did not. It slept 4 and one of the beds was broken. Thank god we had our kids with us and not more adults. The shower was not un the bathroom either so there was zero privacy; needless to say the pictures were very misleading.
But the girl running it was very nice.

I loved my stay here. The clawfoot tub was amazing. My only feedback is I wish there was a table near the door, there wasn’t anywhere to put my luggage other than the floor. Also a mat on the inside near the door would be helpful, it was pouring rain during my stay and I needed a place to put my wet boots. Other than that, very peaceful location and a kind and helpful manager.

This was one of the most amazing experiences. We came from Wisconsin to see the Sequoias, and Quiet Mind was peaceful, with amszing views, and short distances to world wonders. Our host was awesome, breakfast was wonderful. There was a mountain and a warerfall footsteps from our room. Just, WOW.

The rooms were cute! The property is nice but needs some upkeep and landscaping. The creek and waterfall is such a selling point but there is no direct access. Staff was friendly. Food was amazing.

Amazing scenery with trailheads nearby and a waterfall that rivals Yosemite. Rustic, tranquil, peaceful. If glamping is too primitive for you but you love nature, this is a great fit!

Oasis by the river
We had an amazing stay! Adam hosted us so well, accomodating us despite our very late check in. This place is an oasis in the desert. So good to sleep hearing the river. We will come again!

So awesome
AMAZING experience! I can’t wait to plan my return. This place is so special and cozy. I literally didn’t want to leave when it was time for checkout. I enjoyed the vibe both employees gave off and found them enjoyable to chat with. Even the free breakfast wowed both my partner and I. There’s also an app you have access to during your stay with meditations for sleep. Mini bar is impressive too. One more side note-the massage chair was the cherry on top for me.

It was a great and quiet time away from the city. I appreciate that it was a little bit of a drive to get to anywhere (20-25 minutes). We were relaxed.

The place was very nice and the staff very welcoming and helpful.
Nice facilities, great breakfast and beautiful locations along the river.
Two negative points:
The directions on Expedia are wrong and it took us an extra 40 minutes to reach the place, almost missing the check-in deadline and causing us to partially reschedule our rest of the trip.
Second, possibly because of the season, a big quantities of flies were infesting the place making walking outside not so pleasant.

Staff was great. Food prepared onsite and was excellent. Very quiet and peaceful with sounds of running stream right next to building. Highly recommend. Closest town, Kernville was about 25 minute drive down into the valley floor.
