About this property

River View A-Frame Cabin in Yosemite National Park

Riverview is a beautiful, wooden, two-story, A-Frame cabin, with floor to ceiling windows that overlook the South Fork of the Merced River. The open plan living and dining area includes gorgeous floor to ceiling glass and a Fireplace. Major remodeling to the kitchen completed on Feb. 15, 2022. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master suite, this charming cabin accommodates families and groups. Extra sleeping is available in the loft. Nestled in the quaint village of Wawona inside Yosemite National Park, Riverview cabin allows for the full Yosemite National Park experience. For 2024 you will not need a reservation to enter the Park when you are staying at my cabin which is inside the Park.

Yosemite National Park will require advanced reservations to get in for most dates in 2024, which can be difficult to get. But for 2024 reservations are required when you are not staying at a cabin inside the Park. You must still pay the vehicle pass to get in ($35).


Feel free to email me any questions you may have, whether you rented this cabin in the past or if it is your first time. I have been renting on VRBO for 20 years in Wawona.

This was a wonderful place to stay for our family trip to Yosemite. Plenty of room, nice kitchen and bathrooms, wonderful location with a great view and proximity to the river / swimming hole. Could use a little better cleaning in our experience, but overall we enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay over the weekend. Everything was fine, and the house was perfect and comfortable. The only issue was that the windows were covered with spider webs and could use a little more cleaning. Other than that, everything was great, and we enjoyed our stay!

Worth it for being inside Yosemite and closer to the valley! Lots of towels, nice kitchen for cooking, room for a family to spread out and have your own space. The swimming hole was fun after a long hot day of hiking! Definitely a highlight for the kids.

So this house is about 35-40 minutes from main valley of Yosemite. This is a good thing because the main valley is a mob scene. It is great to be in the community of Wawona which is small and very charming. From the house you can easily walk to a small general store. The house was great for a family-upstairs master and several rooms downstairs. There is great porch where you can hang out with the trees towering over you. There is really cool historical pioneer village right off road leading into village. There is cool swimming hole also nearby the house and down by the historical village.Hostess was very patient with all my questions. It is always a bit of sticker shock when you add in all the fees and cleaning but Yosemite is really magical and if you want to be away from the crowds this property is perfect.

We had a nice stay overlooking the river at this great home base for exploring Yosemite. We enjoyed staying in the park, and the home was well provisioned and so nicely settled among the trees with a great porch for enjoying the outdoors. It was quiet at night, clean, and cozy. I am a retired ecologist so will have to come back for more park trekking and time by the river (and with all the science books in the loft!)

Great place! Lovely view of the river in a quiet residential part of the park. Would recommend bringing your own towels. Make sure to buy paper products, etc because they are not provided.

I am sorry that you did not find the cabin property stocked with paper products. Normally the cleaning crew leave extra of everything you might use. From toilet paper, paper towels, soaps for sinks, shower, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap. Sorry you didn't contact me or the property management and they could have taken some over to you. As for towels, besides all the towels hanging in the bathroom, there are many more in the closet. I am looking into what happened. Susan

The cabin was clean and beautiful. We love that there’s a river rock few steps away. Amenities are good except you have to buy your own toilet paper after using the half roll.

Glad you found the cabin clean and beautiful. Management had new cleaning ladies. Sorry they did not leave extra toilet paper. I guess they were not instructed about leaving plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and soap. I dont think this will happen again.

When you pull up, the cabin looks older, and it is surrounded by other, mostly smaller, cabins. We weren't sure what to expect, but the interior is very nice with a modern kitchen, beautiful views from the deck and living room, and comfy beds. Also, even with the proximity of the other cabins, we had plenty of privacy and no noise other than the river that flows near the deck, which is a great place to hang out. The house is inside of Yosemite right near the Mariposa Grove of Sequoias, This is a big win because, other than when you first arrive, you do not have to wait on the often huge lines to get in the park. It's a time and hassle saver.The management company was non-responsive to a small problem we had, but a call to the owner put it right very quickly. She was friendly, responsive, and easy to deal with.Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Such a perfect location in Wawona, walking distance to the adorable little market and a quick drive into the valley. Everything we could have needed was provided and the space was very clean and tidy. Group of 6 of us were more than comfortable and loved coming home to the cabin to unwind after our exploring!

Host profile image
I am a third generation farmer near Fresno. We grow grapes, almonds and pistachios. I have had a love for the mountains ever since i was young. I spend a lot of time water skiing with my husband. We spend a lot of the winter in Costa Rica water skiing.
My sister and i just purchased this cabin together in 2017. We have had 2 other cabins before this one. We were excited to purchase a A-Frame cabin near the river. Something about hearing the river running that you cant get in very many cabins here. Hope you will enjoy this new cabin as much as we are looking forward to time up at the cabin

Why they chose this property

We have had a cabin in Wawona for the last 25 years. Always wanted a A-Frame near the river. There is not much of a turn over of cabins in Wawona. Most are held in the family for generations. There are really very few cabins inside Yosemite National Park. So when this one came available, we just bought it Nov. 2017.

What makes this property unique

Walk down to the river. Great swimming place right close to the cabin. Nice large deck that is in the shade. Enjoy seeing the river from the cabin and mostly hearing the river running from the cabin.
