We really enjoyed the stay, especially after finding the swimming hole near the swinging bridge! The house could use some upgrades, especially in the kitchen, but it was nice to have many bathrooms and beds! Would recommend, especially since there seems to be a limited supply of home rentals within the park. It is quite the drive to/from the valley, but a nice place to stay!

Right in Wawona

Overall a pretty nice place. The neighborhood is a few modern and some older houses built in a rarely allowed spot - within a forest right on the southern edge of Yosemite. Beds were comfortable, place is nice so if you want to be in Yosemite, in your own place, this is it.

We enjoyed the large tables off the kitchen and on the deck that seated 7 of us easily. The traeger grill was excellent and cooked the juiciest brats. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms had heat lights if needed in the early morning. Everything was clean and in working order. Only suggestion would be to mount the TV in the living room lower. We had to slide the furniture back in order to watch a movie comfortably. The location inside the park in Wawona was great for visiting Mariposa Grove just south of us and Yosemite Valley to the north. We also discovered a great little trail along the river with a swinging bridge and large rock formations that was at the end of our road with a nice parking lot.

The house it's beautiful and in a great location! I'll definitely stay there again. I just need to mention two things that in my opinion will make this house the best place to stay. One, it would it be nice to have extra fans since it was a bit hot at night. Second it would it be nice to be able to use the garage to put the luggage and all our items in. Since we were a big group, we felt very squeeze in the living room with all the items we carried.

Good location, about 50 minutes to the Yosemite Valley. Plenty of room for 6 adults. The kitchen was a bit crowded when cooking and ants would come within minutes if you left anything in the sink. The water and ice maker in the fridge did not work. Beds were very soft and pillows were low quality, I recommend brining your own pillow. We also experienced ants is the showers. Overall a good place and I would stay again.

Beautiful & comfortable stay for 3 generations IN Yosemite

Our party consisted of children as young as 2 to grandparents. The stay was super comfortable for everyone and having a two floor bedroom setup was very convenient. 10/10 would recommend.

Overall it was good and as described. The location is nice and the easy river access was enjoyed by all. Options for food in the area is very limited, so having a limited stocked kitchen when you need to cook several meals was a bummer. Many missing cooking utensils - no mixer/whisk/one cutting board etc. also the ants showed up in force and needed to be managed daily. The apartment in the garage felt a little strange as shoes were visible so it felt like someone might show up. However, we stay again in the same spot but come better prepared for our cooking.

Nice and clean

Stayed here with a family of five. Was one of the few places I found that could accommodate us all with our own beds. The house was clean and comfortable. We cooked a couple meals and had breakfast everyday there. I gave a 3 on the location as you need to drive 45-60 minutes through the mountains to get to the main areas of Yosemite. Obviously this is not the hosts fault as I neglected to investigate exactly where in relation to the popular spots in Yosemite were. Anyway was a very nice house and we have high standards.

Great Cabin

Great location. Well-kept home. Wood burning fireplace (awesome!) so be prepared to bring wood and/or tools to start a fire using the wood from the store down the street. Also, the BBQ is a Traeger (Awesome!) so you should bring your own flavored wood pellets.

Great Yosemite Getaway spot

Stayed at this property to celebrate anniv weekend with my spouse and two teenagers. Home had all the equipment you’d think you’d need and I especially loved the Traeger smoker and made some awesome ribeyes we bought at Oakhurst. Property is situated centrally and inside the park and about 30 minutes away from all the sites in Yosemite Valley and equally 30 minutes away from Oakhurst to go for grocery shopping, fast food, etc.. Was also nice that it was about a 10 minute drive from Mariposa Grove, which allowed us to go a little bit later in the day and avoid the crowds. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Yosemite

The house was the perfect size for the 5 of us. We enjoyed the kitchen together as a family. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, etc. We spent our evenings at the large dinner table. The living room was cozy and the fireplace was a wonderful gathering space for us all. We loved the location of this property as well. It was a close distance to the park hikes that we enjoyed daily.
