♻️ Rich History and Repurposed Lumber:
Did you know that this spot has a fascinating history? It was named after Johnny McNalley, a rancher who settled in the Kern River Valley in the 1930s. The lodge itself carries elements of this history, with 3 renovated rooms featuring headboards, countertops, and shelves made from re-purposed lumber. This lumber was sourced from the original rooms and milled at the historic Johnsondale Mill in the 1950s.
