This was a great house located within Yosemite National Park. There are some great trails close and it is about an hour drive to the valley when you want to spend the day there. There are a couple of local groceries with limited hours, but it's best to get most of your supplies before you arrive. The house was stocked with everything you need to cook and also has a regular and Keurig coffeemaker.

This is a beautiful, completely updated two story home. There were only two of us, but this home can accommodate up to 6 people.
The early morning and late afternoon wildlife viewing, from the second story porch, was both relaxing and entertaining - wild turkeys, squirrels, woodpeckers, Steller jays and fox.
If you could provide, or even advise guests to bring their own laundry detergent, coffee pods and ice for first day, that would be the only improvement I can think of.
Enjoyed our visit very much and highly recommend!!
My family and I had an enjoyable stay in Cabin 12R. We liked the location within Wawona- on a hill with space from neighboring cabins. We also liked being inside Yosemite Park boundaries. It is about an hour drive to Yosemite Valley, so plan accordingly. Biking around the valley was a lot of fun and the way to go in our opinion. Spending half a day in Mariposa Grove hiking is a great option too. There are VERY few dining options near the cabin in Wawona so plan to purchase all of your food for all meals and snacks in Oakhurst. There are a couple stores in Wawona, but they mostly carry the basics. We’d recommend this cabin when traveling to Yosemite.
This is a beautiful place to stay while visiting Yosemite. While it is in a small community of houses, it was quite private. The home has been recently renovated and it is modern and tasteful. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, dishes and utensils (not always the case with rental units). Only thing missing was sugar and salt, so bring your own. It was very well maintained and very clean. The hot tub was a pleasure. The only downside was that the mattress in the master bedroom was extremely firm. I like a firm mattress but this was uncomfortable. But that was the only downside to a wonderful place.

Michael,
We thank you for the review, and are happy to hear that you enjoyed our cabin during your stay!
We do not provide any food items in order to keep mice and other animals out of our cabins due to the remote location.
We hope to host you again soon!

OK but ran into some issues
The house was advertized with washer/dryer but the dryer did not work and we were not notified. Also, the beds were rocks and the pillows were very uncomfortable.

Overall the property was nice and well maintained.
Here are my thoughts on our stay in no particular order:
- I knew we were staying 40 mins from the valley floor. I thought it was fine but looking back I wish we were closer.
- The place has a hot tub, that I don't think was listed but I had read in another review. That was a bonus when we confirmed there was one for us to use.
- The place wasn't ready for us when we arrived at 4:00. However the front desk was very nice and provided us ice for our groceries.
- The house is located at the end of a street so no thru traffic and made it feel a little bit more secluded even with the other houses nearby. The neighborhood was so quiet it was completely peaceful.
- All basic cooking supplies were included.
- The house sleeps six but we only had enough towels for 4. You can get a towel exchange but that requires going to the check in office to make the swap. The house does come with a washer and dryer however, there is no starter pack.
- We had only 1/2 a used paper towel roll available to us. Again, I'm sure we could have gone down to the check in office to get more but we were only staying a couple of nights.
- Grill was basically new and worked great.
- The upstairs shower door is a barn door. There are gaps so you can still see in/out.
- The pictures are accurate to the place.
- I think other reviewers mentioned this but yes, their pillows are terrible. If you're picky be prepared.

Visit the nearby famous Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Enjoy fine dining and play golf at the historic The Wawona Hotel, go horseback riding, fishing, enjoy Ranger walks and talks, or visit the Living History Center/Pioneer Village. In the fall, the colors are spectacular as you enjoy the walking path around the golf course of the nearby historic Wawona Lodge. In the winter, the family-friendly Badger Pass Ski Area offers snowshoeing, snowboarding, skiing, cross-country ski tours, and in Yosemite Valley, enjoy the outdoor ice-skating rink. Our wedding and Event Center is open for all occasions in any season!
