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.

Loved every minute!
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!

Family Thanksgiving
We had an amazing Thanksgiving at the cabin. Everything was perfect from the living room view to the private bedrooms. The kids had places to walk and we enjoyed the river. It was very convenient to have the store within walking distance. We will definitely be booking again if you’ll have us have

Thanksgiving in Yosemite
Cozy cabin in a beautiful location. Well appointed, although a blow dryer in the master bath would be nice. The WiFi was pretty slow; that was a blessing in disguise, we did not watch TV while we were there!

We had a nice stay here while we were visiting Yosemite. Nice house and pretty river near by. The drive to the valley/ glacier point was less then an hr drive so a decent location so we could see everything within the park.

Weekend getaway
We picked this place based on good pictures and closeness to the creek below. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and plenty of room for 4 adults. Loved being in the park and close to everything we needed. Upstairs room was a little hot but everything else was very good!

Amazing house in Yosemite
The house was so comfortable for our family group. It was conveniently located within Yosemite park, so there was no hassle having to enter each day. It was a little difficult to locate in the dark with limited cell signal, but once we found it, everything was perfect.

Peaceful retreat
We stayed here with another couple while visiting Yosemite NP. Very spacious and a lively, quiet setting. Beds were very comfy. Carpets could use cleaning after the summer season and the grill wasnt operational but overall we had a very pleasant stay. Owner communication was great.

Fantastic riverside cabin!
This is a lovely 3-bedroom cabin in Wawona, walking distance to the Pine Tree Market. The cabin is stocked with everything you might need for your stay: spices, condiments, coffee pods, complimentary snacks, all the cookware and utensils you might need, so many extra blankets, pillows, and towels. You are technically staying inside Yosemite NP, so you do not need to scramble for an entry reservation. (We stayed during Firefall in February. Although we entered the park during the week, had we entered on the weekend, we would have been in the clear. Did I still get an entry reservation to be on the safe side? Of course, but it turned out that I didn’t need one ). The queen beds on the main floor are super soft and comfy. The king bed upstairs is firm but still comfortable. If your partner snores or has Jimmy-legs, there are several futon sofas throughout the cabin for respite. Everyone will be comfortable! Bathrooms are large and modern and CLEAN. It’s a beautiful 40-minute drive from the cabin to the Tunnel View overlook north on 41, or a 90 minute drive south to Fresno airport. This is a solid property!!

Honestly, one of our best stays anywhere & ever. Gorgeous cabin, beautifully presented in an idyllic spot. So peaceful, so cosy, and thanks to the shady trees, always nicely cool. Just wonderful in so many ways. Would love to return one day.

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.
