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.

Really lovely home surrounded by forest. The deck was a delightful place to relax .The host has provided everything needed for a pleasant stay. My daughter did all the cooking and had no complaints. If you're merely looking for a place to lay your head at night, you'll miss out on the ambiance... we enjoyed hanging out here with loved ones we don't see often (in addition to a hike and Glacier Point). Check-in was easy, and the host responded quickly to inquiries.

Wonderful cabin inside Yosemite park with a river running behind the cabin. It is within walking distance of a camp store for all the little things you need. The kitchen is well equipped and we appreciated the welcoming basket for when we arrived. The bathrooms were nicely decorated. The beds were super comfortable. Susan was easily reachable and responsive. Our family had the best time.

Yosemite

River View served as a great location to explore all of Yosemite. Beds were comfortable after a day of hiking in the Valley, Glacier Point, Mariposa Grove etc. Kitchen was adequate to prepare meals after a day of exploring. Loved the fact it was inside the park, witch we didnt realize until leaving and saw the huge line of cars waiting for intrance. Definitely worth it to be inside the park.

This property was everything we wanted it to be for our stay in Yosemite Park! The location was beautiful; surrounded by trees and by the river but wasn’t isolated. There was a handy store with friendly staff (and resident cat) which was great. The accommodation was spacious and had everything we needed - Susan (the host) also laid out a few snacks for hikes and tea/coffee plus pancake ingredients for breakfast: lovely thought! The beds were all extremely comfortable and there was a lovely home-from-home feel to accommodation. Although Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove were a drive away as Yosemite is so vast. Wawona itself offered some lovely trails and places to visit - the Wawona Swing Bridge was truly beautiful and if we had stayed for longer, we would have revisited. Susan was a fantastic host and was quick to respond to any questions we had. All in all, a truly memorable stay that we would love to come back to - we highly recommend this property.

Amazing location

My siblings, my husband and I thoroughly enjoy this unit. It's a bit away from Yosemite Valley but be able to listen to the sound of the river running is just made up the distant. There are 2 convenient general stores. They have most of everything you need to satisfy your urging for snacks and last minute run for eggs, bread, butter, etc...I'd recommend this unit for friends and family.

Gorgeous river view, great location, cozy fireplace, well-equipped modern kitchen, comfy beds and awesome upstairs book nook! We loved this cabin! Perfect location for Mariposa Grove of Sequoia trees, hiking Chihualna Falls, and the swinging bridge. Beautiful deck overlooking the river. So peaceful and serene. We would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend! This was a three generation girls trip so it was great for all ages, 18-81. Loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Kilsdonk

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.
