While we have enjoyed hosting several exchanges in our home (on this site and another site), we are currently renting out our home through 2022. We are very sad not to be available to host right now, but we do have globes and hope to travel with our family soon! Thanks for understanding.
**************
Our house is located in the agricultural city of Bakersfield, CA. Perhaps best known for being the hometown of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and the birthplace of "Bakersfield Sound" - fans of rock-and-roll inspired country music will love visiting Buck Owens' Crystal Palace and the Bakersfield Music Hall of Fame.
Foodies will love the amazing surprising amount of restaurants, including the well-known Basque cuisine this city offers.
The house is located about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Sequoia National Park, and a great launching pad to other National Parks (4 hours to Yosemite NP, 3 hours to Death Valley, etc)
The space
The house is a PERFECT option for getting away and finding respite. Located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, and situated on a corner lot, this is a great spot to unpack and unwind. The house has a heated pool and a spa, tv's in every room, and plenty of room to lounge!
We have 5 kids and welcome any kids to our place! You will find some toys and kid floats available to use.
We also have a pack-n-play, and a high chair for young ones!
Guest access
This house is single-story, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a garage with a pool table (so not set up to fit a car).
Guests get access to the entire house.
