Apple Tree Bear House

The front of the house features a 44 foot, 500+ square foot deck that looks across to wide-open parkland. There is a propane barbecue for outside grilling that’s only steps from the kitchen and a picnic table with a large umbrella that provides comfortable outdoor seating. The back deck features a covered gazebo over the hot tub that is steps from both master bedrooms. Towels are provided.



The spacious, open living room/dining room/kitchen features a cozy propane fireplace that provides a comfortable ambiance on cold nights. A wide granite peninsula separates the dining room from the kitchen. The dining room table allows space for 6 to 8 people, plus more seating at the bar. The kitchen has most everything needed to cook your favorite meal, including an ice cream maker.



The downstairs master bedroom features a queen-size log bed and a twin bed with a trundle. The bathroom has both a shower and a unique, large soaking tub great for both adults and kids. A sliding glass door opens to the back deck and hot tub. The third bedroom features a log queen bed with a bathroom directly across the hall. One of the couches in the living room makes into a comfortable queen bed providing yet another separate sleeping area.



The upstairs master bedroom has a Cal-King bed with a gas-log fireplace and a wall-mounted TV. Enjoy the comfortable window seat to read a book or take a nap on. The newly remodeled bathroom has a walk-in shower.



A short hike from the house takes you to the lower Chilnualna Falls, swinging bridge, or several swimming holes in the South Fork of the Merced River. Avid hikers might enjoy a more strenuous hike to the top of upper Chilnualna Falls that continues on to the top of Wawona Dome. Wawona is a truly unique place to base your exploration of the world-famous Yosemite National Park.



Inside the community of Wawona, often known as the “quiet” part of Yosemite, is the beautiful and historic Wawona Hotel with its tennis courts and 9 hole golf course, the pioneer history center where you and your family can take a ride in Burl “Buckshot” Mayer’s two horse-powered stagecoaches. Wawona also boasts the only public horseback riding stables and one of the two gas stations in Yosemite.



Catch the free shuttle bus to the majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias that’s 6 miles away. Of course, you won’t want to miss the scenic 45-minute drive over the mountain to the spectacular Yosemite Valley, or majestic Glacier Point overlooking the valley below. During winter enjoy the family-friendly ski area of Badger Pass, or continue down to Yosemite Valley to see the breathtaking winter scenes and skate in the outdoor ice skating rink. Then return to the ambiance of Apple Tree Bear House for a relaxing evening in the hot tub, or enjoying an evening of games and puzzles. Read the lyrical story of where the name of the house derived, and take the book home for a keepsake if you chose, compliments of the owners
