Escape to Tukaway Cabin, a luxurious riverside retreat on a private acre along the wild Kern River. Surrounded by oaks and mountain views, this beautifully restored mid-century gem features curated interiors, a King bedroom, cedar sauna, cedar soaking tub, firepit, grand courtyard, and private river access. Just minutes from Kernville, it’s the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and style all at your own peaceful haven in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The space
Discover Tukaway Cabin, a one-of-a-kind riverside escape in California’s beautiful Kern River Valley. Set on a stunning, oak-shaded acre directly along the wild and scenic Kern River, this reimagined mid-century cabin blends rustic charm with refined luxury.

Every detail has been thoughtfully curated from the art and furnishings to the landscaping and riverfront views. It creates a boutique-style experience that feels both elevated and effortlessly relaxed.

Inside, the spacious King bedroom opens onto a serene flagstone patio surrounded by native plantings and mountain air. The ensuite bathroom offers a bathtub and separate shower, while a second full bathroom adds extra convenience. The cozy living room invites you to unwind by the wood-burning stone fireplace, and the kitchen and dining area open to an outdoor patio perfect for al fresco meals under the trees.

The Cubhouse lounge with a fully opening glass door creates an airy indoor/outdoor space with sofas, games, and Roku TV which is ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure.

Outdoors, multiple patios and courtyards invite you to relax beneath the oaks, whether you’re sipping morning coffee at the live-edge bar, sharing stories around the gas firepit, or reading in the tree swing chair. For ultimate rejuvenation, enjoy the cedar sauna, Japanese cedar soaking tub, and outdoor rinse shower, or play a friendly game of cornhole or horseshoes on the sandy “island.”

Follow the path to your private riverside area, where you can dip your toes in the water, cast a fly, float lazily on the tubes or paddleboard provided, or nap in a hammock by the river’s edge.

Just five minutes away, Downtown Kernville offers dining, local shops, and small-town charm. Explore nearby trails, go whitewater rafting, fly-fishing, mountain biking, or simply stay put and let the peace of the river wash over you.

During your stay, you’ll have the entire property to yourself (including two additional unoccupied cabins) ensuring privacy, space, and pure relaxation.
Please note: If you'd like to add the 2 other cabins to your reservation, we have that as a separate listing called "The Meander" for a total of 6 guests. Otherwise those cabins will unoccupied & locked during your stay. We do not rent to multiple reservations on the same property - we value your privacy.

We also own/rent the property next door called 'River Willow Cabin' for up to 5 guests. Please consider additionally booking that property if you have a larger party.

At night, fall asleep to the sound of the river in luxurious linens and plush beds under the starlit Sierra Nevada Mountains sky.

Tukaway Cabin isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the magic of the Kern River.
