About Us

In the 1950’s Bo & Margaret Williams bought a cabin with about 30 acres. Here they raised their 3 children in an atmosphere of work and hospitality. Today there is a simple 10 room motel and a dinner house serving some of the best steaks and dinners in Kern County.

1950’s: After many weekend trips with the kids they built a coffee shop and named it Paradise Cove (before the area was called Paradise Cove). And they all worked.

1960’s through 2020’s Life had ups and downs, births and deaths, business had ups and downs. And we lived and loved and worked.

Today you will still find family working - with the desire to pass along a work ethic, and the joy of simplicity and hospitality.
