About the Area
Nestled just 4 miles inside the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is the charming and historic town of Wawona. Located at the base of Chilnualna Falls (the second-highest vertical-drop waterfall in Yosemite) and home to the principal trailheads into the southern Yosemite wilderness, Wawona is also the closest town to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Wawona has the feel of a small town but is bustling with activity! Over 160 residents, including Yosemite Park employees, live in Wawona and can be seen gathering at the town's community center, playing a pickup game of basketball at the elementary school, jogging on one of the many picturesque trails, or simply walking their dogs and baby strollers through the winding residential streets. The historic Wawona Swinging Bridge boasts the best natural water slide in the Park! The historic village is filled with docents, stagecoach rides, horseback rides, and barn dances in the summer season, and the Wawona Meadow Loop offers year-round riparian meadow wildlife viewing. Wawona was known to the local Native American Miwok in their language as Pallachun (a good place to stay). It is located entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the founding of the park as a national recreation area) and is located on the South Fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, on the main highway (State Route 41) from Fresno to Yosemite Valley. Galen Clark, who helped gain preservation legislation for Mariposa Grove and what later became part of Yosemite National Park, occupied the Wawona area in 1855 and established a tourist rest and modest ranch, which he later sold and made into a hotel and resort property (the Wawona Hotel). The Wawona post office was established in 1878 and was originally called Clark's Station. The Redwoods in Yosemite has over 120 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance of everything that Wawona has to offer, and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

The cabin was so cute & perfect for two people. Definitely can easily accommodate 4 people! It was a perfect location inside the park & the office was so close if we needed anything

This place is awesome. We stayed here for Thanksgiving two years ago and came back for a weekend in the spring. So nice, so quaint. Perfect weekend getaway to restore your mental health with nature and fresh air. House is fully stocked with cooking equipment and the wood burning fireplace adds so much to the cabin experience.

Overall we had a great time. Location to the parks were great, check in was easy and we liked sitting on the deck taking in the nature around us. We did think that the cabin could use some updates including a new mattress.
Beautiful cabin right inside Yosemite Park which gave us an easy & scenic drive up to the valley. The snow was absolutely gorgeous. Magical experience

The cabin we stayed in was neat, clean, notable for the absence of any critters at all inside the cabin. The kitchen area allows only one person at a time, but a fair trade-off for the setting. The setting inside Yosemite NP is iconic, surrounded by huge ponderosa pines and just a short drive from Yosemite Valley including El Capitan, Bridal Veil Falls, and a sequoia grove. The cabin is at the south end of the NP, and a long drive from the park's visitor center, but loads of nature close to the cabin.

Great location
Cozy cabin but just seemed really overpriced. VRBO charges seemed really high. Was very nice being so close to the Yosemite Valley though. Strange crinkly not fitting plastic pad on bed. Very close to other cabins, which is not obvious from the photos.

Hiking anniversary
We had a great time hiking in Yosemite.
Cabin is a bit small but enough for two people.
We couldn’t find the dishwasher where we were supposed to put all the dirty dishes (as stated in the instructions on how to leave the cabin). But other than that we had all we needed!

Elisabeth,
We thank you for the review, and are happy to hear that you had such a great time hiking! We apologize about the confusion with the check-out instructions. Your cabin does not have a dishwasher, so that would not have applied to you. Otherwise, we hope that you enjoyed your stay and that you come back again soon!

It was quiet and beautiful stay near the South entrance. It was a rustic neighborhood and was lovely to hear the Chihualna Falls nearby. The outdoor deck extended the cozy living space. Although the stone fireplace is beautiful, the smell of smoke from previous use was strong in the living environment. We did find the bed and futon comfortable and the galley kitchen equipped for cooking. We were happy to have stayed for 6 days.

This cabin was perfect for our family of 3 (couple with college-age son). The cabin was so clean and well organized. Everything was exactly as pictured in the listing. We especially loved the wrap around deck and the grill. We did most of our meals out there. Our son was very comfortable on the futon bed. The main bedroom is small, it was a bit hard to get in and out of the bed, but that is the only complaint. We loved being away from the crowds in the valley and having peace and quiet. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

According to the map, the property was the only one on the street. Yet it was surrounded by cabins.
The carpet was too dirty. The bed was too hard.
I left a list with the front desk of other issues.

It was a cute cabin that desperately needs an update. Fireplace was darling but smelled of half burned wood that was left in it. Carpets were so dirty that my socks got dirty walking on them. Lighting hasn't been changed in several decades. Watch out when exiting the back door as it will automatically lock you out. We cooked most of our meals in the cabin which was a plus. Stove and fridge work great!

Mice poop in kitchen drawers
The cabin is as expected - very rustic and cozy. Unfortunately, there were mice droppings in the utensil drawers and pots/pans shelves. I talked to the office the following morning and the maintenance folks set some traps (caught one). I don't know why the office didn't think to send in the cleaning crew to clean the drawers as there were mice droppings after I reported the incident! I always clean my utensils, plates, pots before using at all rental places and I'm glad I have this habit. I will not be staying here again. I don't mind rustic as long as the place is clean. mice poop in the kitchen is an automatic no go.
This rustic little cabin met my needs for a nice stay inside the park. All the snow melt meant I could easily hear the Merced River from the cabin. The river and lesser-visited but powerful Chilnualna Falls are an easy walk from the cabin. A short moderate climb to the upper cascades of the lower falls will not fail to impress. Wawona residents are very friendly and the community is full of wildlife. I loved stargazing every night from the lounge chair on the deck and mornings with Stellar Jays, squirrels, tiny lizards and nesting sharp-shinned hawks. There were some issues with the cabin. I reported the failure of several windows to latch and lock, which property management rectified immediately. The bedroom and bathroom doors don't latch or lock, and the grill wouldn’t light which required me to borrow a utility lighter from a neighbor - so management should correct these issues - I reported them at checkout. I didn't use the fireplace but loved the scent of woodsmoke. Instructions should be included on using and pairing the stereo. Management was very helpful, friendly and responsive! The Redwoods is across the river from the Wawona Hotel, a 3 mile meadow loop, store, gas, library and Pioneer Museum. Be sure to chat with the only NPS ranger/stagecoach driver, Buckshot, to learn all about this fascinating history. 10 min to Mariposa Grove and a scenic 25 min drive to Tunnel View on your descent to the Valley.
