Fabulous property located inside Yosemite National Park. Five adults and one two-year old shared the four bedrooms and three full bathrooms easily. Great beds and well stocked kitchen utensils/pans. Five steps are required to enter the property and the expansive deck. Within 3/4 mile are a public library with a great children’s section and an elementary school playground. Additionally, a general store is within walking distance. Be prepared to pack out your garbage and recycling. Bear-proof garbage cans are readily available within 200 yards of the property. Recycling is available on the school grounds. Absolutely fantastic VRBO!

The pool table room needs to be upstairs as the room that it is in should be made up as a bedroom. There is only one bath upstairs so one of the couples had to take stairs down to go to the bathroom at night. Not the best configuration. Plenty of room upstairs to make a pool room in the great room upstairs. Minimal number of hangers in the house. We counted six in the entire house. Overall we really enjoyed our stay… the deck, fire pit and hot tub were excellent. Thank you for making our stay wonderful. My comments are not criticism but suggestions!

We stayed for a week in the Rivercrest lodge ( Family of 5). The house was wonderful, rustic and well decorated with all the modern amenities. The kids loved it. It was only 40min from Yosemite Valley and there was a wonderful hike right next to the house: the Chilnualna Falls trail. It was also only 10min from the Mariposa Grove. Unbeatable in terms of location without staying right in the Valley. We had a wonderful time exploring Yosemite. Thank you to the I Love Yosemite team for an unforgettable stay.

We had an amazing time at Rivercrest Lodge! We were a family of six people, and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out or be together. We played board games by the fire, cooked great meals in the kitchen, and enjoyed hiking through beautiful Yosemite National Park. We will definitely rent this house again!

Great stay in Wawona

This home is very well equipped with comforts of home. The jacuzzi and fire pit were enjoyed after exploring Yosemite. Near great market and swimming hole. We loved the river just below our house - very peaceful.

Perfect family getaway

This home was perfect for 2 families to spend the holiday weekend in Yosemite. The host sent information in advance with everything we needed. With all the traffic over the 4th we were very happy with the location in the park and spent one day just exploring around Wawona. The house has everything you need for a great stay.

AWESOME CABIN

The cabin is appointed in every way to make your stay wonderful, the open design and the balcony is wonderful!! The house has everything you need to make a vacation wonderful. The location in great with being in the park, no waiting an hour to get in!!! Could not have asked for a better place to stay. The creek behind the cabin is so beautiful and very relaxing.

What a wonderful stay!

Rivercrest Lodge surpassed my family's (hopeful) big expectations. It was gorgeous, roomy, and spotless. Adam and Gailyn left no stone unturned when it came to comfort and ease. The beds were very comfortable, and curling up by the fireplace at night a dream. We would highly recommend Rivercrest Lodge to anyone - you will be delighted you stayed.. (And don't forget to trek to the falls - a short 15 minute hike from RIvercrest Lodge).

Gorgeous home inside Yosemite Park

This house is awesome, beautiful, clean and management was super responsive. As well stocked as we expected, could have had some more cooking spices. Power went out due to snow but back up generator came right on. Upstairs bedroom was a bit cold. Saw a mouse but it's in the country and can be expected. Would easily stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Laurie! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, found it clean and well-stocked, and could relax knowing the generator had you covered during your snowy Yosemite stay. We also appreciate you mentioning the mouse sighting. While we have regular professional pest control in place and stay vigilant, being in the Yosemite wilderness can occasionally present surprises, and we always follow-up immediately to any guest reports. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we’d love to welcome you back for another peaceful visit anytime!

Outstanding Stay in Yosemite!

We just wrapped up a 4 night stay at this property with 6 adults and 1 child (age 3). The property was perfect for our family, providing us with enough space to spread out but, large enough common areas for us to enjoy dinners and games together. The location of the property was ideal for us since it was inside of the park and conveniently located near a small store and a hiking trail. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you might need as well as extremely clean. All and all this property helped our family to have a one-of-a-kind vacation in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Thanks for such an outstanding listing and experience!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. It served as our base for traveling around Yosemite. The house was just as pictured, was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen was stocked very nicely allowing us to cook our meals there. The balcony is amazing (could do with fewer mosquitos but that comes with the territory). Fireplace was amazing - heated the living area well. Nice to have laundry facilities. Beds were comfortable. This place worked great for 5 adults and could have accommodated more easily. Would definitely return if in this area and have recommended it to people we met at our next stay in Paso Robles. Thank you for making it available for other people to enjoy.

Say YES to RIVERCREST LODGE at Yosemite!

There was going to be a cosmic alignment of the cousins from around th country for a celebration of life. Decided to flex a bit and go for it with this breathtaking accomodation. Pulled up early and the owner was painting the railing. He could not have been more welcoming and was as excited for us to be there as we were! Whenever we were home, that gorgeous fireplace was on! And it was pumping out the heat! The fire pit on the expansive back deck was on every night and was hard to leave. The river off the deck was the perfect white noise. I took my brother on the log bridge challenge over the river. Happy to say we both remain at the top of our mountain goat game. The hot tub was another highlight of the visit. Everyone commented that we wished the stay was longer. This property will forever be seared into our collective memories. A beautiful home in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Just book it already.

Beautiful Home with Wonderful Hosts

There are many great aspects about this home and the hosts have worked hard to make it close to perfect. The home has comfortable furniture and is very cozy with the warm fireplace. We enjoyed the spa, pool table and the puzzles from the closet. The hosts have all the cabinets marked and all the instructions were very clear. They even provided a welcome basket with some edible goodies and plenty of coffee for our visit. The location is good for enjoying the couple of hikes in walking distance and to visit the Mariposa Grove, but it is quite a drive to get to the valley. It's also important to come prepared with groceries as there is only a very small market in the neighborhood and only one restaurant close by. My only complaint is how cold the master bathroom is. There is no heater in there and we had the water turned to the maximum. I would suggest providing a small space heater you could have in the bathroom and a shower curtain. Otherwise, it was fantastic.
