Lebec is a small unincorporated community located in the mountains of southwestern Kern County, California. It is situated at the foot of Tejon Pass, which separates the San Emigdio Mountains to the north from the Tehachapi Mountains to the south. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,468.

Because of its distinctive rock work and spectacular views, the Tumble Inn was known as one of the loveliest locations on the ridge. From here travelers had breathtaking views of the Liebre Mountains to the east and coastal ranges to the west.
