Wawona/Yosemite Cabin

Beautiful location, peaceful, quiet and close to the South fork of the Merced River. Cabin was super nice and clean. The back deck was used a lot with a gorgeous view of the river. Everything went smooth with booking and check out.

Serene

This was a great property overlooking the river. Loved being inside the park and in walking distance to the Pine Tree Market. The home is very welcoming and has everything you need for a relaxing stay, especially after a day of hiking. Thank you for opening your home to us!!

Redwood cottages in Yosemite

The cabin was neat and cozy and the kitchen was well equipped. We spent little time in the cabin because we preferred to be outdoors. It was wonderful going to sleep to the sound of the rushing river. Yosemite is an awesome park with amazing hikes and views.Kip was very responsive to questions we had.It takes about 40 minutes to get to the center of the park but it’s a much shorter time to Glacier point and Mariposa Grove.

Well equipped cabin

We were familiar with the area, and were fortunate to have great weather for March. Wawona is peaceful compared to Yosemite Valley. Since we knew that we brought all of own food along, otherwise it’s a distance to a restaurant. The kitchen is well equipped for food preparation. This is a lovely property for a family/friends gathering.

Wawona Yosemite Visit

This property is ideally located with an amazing view of the river from the back deck. The local market store is a 3 minute walk and you’re right in the national park. We loved the wood burning stove which kept the house toasty. Everything you could need was there. This is a great place to relax and enjoy nature.

great location and view

the property was great for the 3 adults we had traveling, clean, gorgeous views and good kitchen. The host is responsive and we had everything we needed. our only comment is the comfort of the couch. since our stay was in winter over xmas, we spent time indoors at night and the couch was not ideal for football and movie watching.

Awesome stay

Hello there, it was my first time at Yosemite. We did hit snow and cold weather but still got to enjoy the park and property well.A little bit about location, for future travellers We drove from Death Valley south to Yosemite and this location was closest to that entrance.Having said that it was not far from main part of Yosemite line lodge, curry village etc so like 50 minutes drive. It won’t have been an issue till we hit snow storm and driving became incredulously difficult but we made it.The property is close to glacier point and few viewpoint around it but it was closed in March, so just be cognizant of that.Overall we enjoyed and relaxed at our stay.Huge property w 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, nice open living room, just fun to stay.

Dream of a cabin

What an incredible cabin in a spectacular location! This was the single most spotlessly clean VRBO property anyone in our party has ever stayed at. The amenities and location were perfect, though it’s worth noting that the village of Wawona is located inside the national park, meaning potential traffic backups in entering through the park gate. We arrived on a weekday evening, off-peak time, so sailed through quickly—but we notice the line to enter the park (and thus Wawona), was 3/4 of a mile long when we were leaving. There’s a beautiful and rewarding hike to a waterfall three minutes away from the cabin, and definitely worth seeing, even if you’re staying here simply to access Yosemite Valley. The river which the cabin sits above makes a gentle rolling sound, and there’s birdsong every morning from the towering cedars and pines nearby. We will definitely be staying here again if ever visiting Yosemite! The property owner was also extremely quick to respond to any questions we had.

Location, location, location!!!

We, being 2 families (7 people in total), had the most amazing stay at the property. The location is just divine with the river and brilliant rock jump just a stones throw away and it’s close to all the best sightseeing locations in Yosemite. Would definitely recommend!!!

Two night stay

My husband and I came to see Yosemite from Ohio and spent 2 nights in this property. Everything was clean and worked out great for us. We didn’t spend an exceptional amount of time there because we were in the park most of the day but would have liked to have more time to spend seeing the area around the house.
