About the Area

Nestled just 4 miles inside the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is the charming and historic town of Wawona. Located at the base of Chilnualna Falls (the second highest vertical drop waterfall in Yosemite), and home to the principal trailheads into the southern Yosemite wilderness, Wawona is also the closest town to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.
Wawona has the feel of a small town but is bustling with activity! Over 160 residents, including Yosemite Park employees, live in Wawona and can be seen gathering at the town's community center, playing a pickup game of basketball at the elementary school, jogging on one of the many picturesque trails or simply walking their dogs and baby strollers through the winding residential streets. The historic Wawona Swinging Bridge boasts the best natural water slide in the Park! The history village is filled with docents, stagecoach rides, horseback rides, and barn dances in the summer season and the Wawona Meadow Loop offers year-round riparian meadow wildlife viewing.
Wawona was known to the local Native American Miwok in their language as Pallachun (a good place to stay). It is located entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the founding of the park as a national recreation area) and is located on the South fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, on the main highway (State Route 41) from Fresno to Yosemite Valley.
Galen Clark, who helped gain preservation legislation for Mariposa Grove and what later became part of Yosemite National Park, occupied the Wawona area in 1855 and established a tourist rest and modest ranch which he later sold and made into a hotel and resort property (the Wawona Hotel). The Wawona post office was established in 1878 and was originally called Clark's Station.
The Redwoods In Yosemite has over 120 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance of everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

Nice cabin with smelly stove
The Cabin is beautiful with a lovely deck. Unfortunately, the old range smelled so much of propane it gave me a headache even with windows open. Maintenance was very responsive and turned the propane off to the stove for our stay. We were able to use the outside grill and microwave for cooking.

Family Vacation in Yosemite
Stayed 5 nights in the Wawona Cabin. Very nice cabin inside Yosemite National Park. We had never visited Yosemite so I was booking based on nearest location. I didn't realize the cabin is actually inside the park so we never left the park once we arrived. The cabin was fine for our family of 5 adults but probably better suited for four people. The cabin is a bit dated but was cleaned and had everything we needed. The VRBO owner was prompt with communication prior to our arrival. The check in process was fine although the keys were left in a late box even though we arrived around 4:00 as the main office was closed. The best part was the location. Very near the Wawona entrance and the Mariposa Grove. About an hour drive to Yosemite Valley. The cabin is part of a large group of cabins (Redwoods at Yosemite) and has an on-site office and management that is staffed during the day. They do have a laundry room that is free but only open 8:00 - 2:30. The on-site office was able to add an additional night for us when our flight was cancelled. Overall a very good stay and a great experience.

A nice cabin inside Yosemite park
The cabin was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals. There was no AC, but that wasn't an issue at all. The internet was slow but functional. The only negative for us was that one bathroom had a tub and no shower. The location is good. It was convenient to stay inside the park, about an hour from Yosemite Valley. There is a small, well-stocked grocery store nearby.

Fun getaway with friends
Two old college friends and I had a fantastic stay at the cabin, exploring the valley and the mariposa grove. The cabin was great, comfortable and clean. Hanging out on the deck after a day of hiking was outstanding truly! Make sure you bring your own spices and oil for cooking or sugar for coffee!

Spacious and Comfy Cabin
We enjoyed our stay at Cabin 24 in the Redwoods in Yosemite. The cabin had several amenities. Decor is dated but the woodsy atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful. Internet was reliable. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Tree roots made parking a bit challenging.

We loved the openness in the cabin and the outside deck. Some basic necessities were missing. Salt, pepper, sugar and shampoo were needed to be brought in. Staff was very prompt to fix a broken toilet. We loved the fireplace. Great location in the park.

Poor Communication - Horrible Fees
Our trip was very stressful as there was no communication on how we were to access our cabin even after repeatedly emailing the host and asking for several days prior to arriving. Barely stumbled on office before they closed at 5pm. Cabin was lovely, however heater did not work, and fees tacked on increased nightly fee to $548 - 40% more than advertised. Way overpriced with no communication.

Great time in Yosemite NP
My family and I had an amazing time staying at Wawona cabin. We loved that the cabin was within the park limits, had a well appointed kitchen, was perfect size for our family of 5. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the deck after a day of hiking. The check in/out process was easy, the management company responded quickly when I emailed with questions before our stay. We would definitely go back.

Rustic, but good
Our family enjoyed Wawona Cabin. It was very clean, and the location was convenient with it being in the park but away from the crowds. There are even two short, beatiful hiking trails right down the road. Two things you should know: 1. There is no A/C. There are windows with screens you can open, as well as ceiling fans, but it will get stuffy in the summer. 2. There is no shower in the master bathroom, only a tub. Granted, the tub is nice, but its not always convenient. If you want to quickly rinse off, you'll have to use the lone shower that's adjacent to the other bedroom.

Perfect location for Yosemite Stay
We love, love, love the location of this cabin! In addition to all that Yosemite Valley has to offer this location had a wonderful waterfall in its back yard. We enjoyed lunch at ghe Wawona Hotel where the service was excellent. The cabin itself was nice. The heater was broken in the second bedroom and the TV was too small for the space but we enjoyed our stay overall.

Great Vacation!
My family and I stayed at the Wawona cabin for two nights and we had an amazing time. The process of checking in was simple and straight forward. The cabin was cozy and clean when we arrived. We especially loved the environment of being in the forest but still having the comfort of a grocery store and gas station a few minutes away. My family and I would definitely stay here again when we visit Yosemite in the future.
