Wawona/Yosemite Cabin
Beautiful location, peaceful, quiet and close to the South fork of the Merced River. Cabin was super nice and clean. The back deck was used a lot with a gorgeous view of the river. Everything went smooth with booking and check out.

Well equipped cabin
We were familiar with the area, and were fortunate to have great weather for March. Wawona is peaceful compared to Yosemite Valley. Since we knew that we brought all of own food along, otherwise it’s a distance to a restaurant. The kitchen is well equipped for food preparation. This is a lovely property for a family/friends gathering.

Wawona Yosemite Visit
This property is ideally located with an amazing view of the river from the back deck. The local market store is a 3 minute walk and you’re right in the national park. We loved the wood burning stove which kept the house toasty. Everything you could need was there. This is a great place to relax and enjoy nature.

Awesome stay
Hello there, it was my first time at Yosemite. We did hit snow and cold weather but still got to enjoy the park and property well.A little bit about location, for future travellers We drove from Death Valley south to Yosemite and this location was closest to that entrance.Having said that it was not far from main part of Yosemite line lodge, curry village etc so like 50 minutes drive. It won’t have been an issue till we hit snow storm and driving became incredulously difficult but we made it.The property is close to glacier point and few viewpoint around it but it was closed in March, so just be cognizant of that.Overall we enjoyed and relaxed at our stay.Huge property w 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, nice open living room, just fun to stay.

Dream of a cabin
What an incredible cabin in a spectacular location! This was the single most spotlessly clean VRBO property anyone in our party has ever stayed at. The amenities and location were perfect, though it’s worth noting that the village of Wawona is located inside the national park, meaning potential traffic backups in entering through the park gate. We arrived on a weekday evening, off-peak time, so sailed through quickly—but we notice the line to enter the park (and thus Wawona), was 3/4 of a mile long when we were leaving. There’s a beautiful and rewarding hike to a waterfall three minutes away from the cabin, and definitely worth seeing, even if you’re staying here simply to access Yosemite Valley. The river which the cabin sits above makes a gentle rolling sound, and there’s birdsong every morning from the towering cedars and pines nearby. We will definitely be staying here again if ever visiting Yosemite! The property owner was also extremely quick to respond to any questions we had.

great location and view
the property was great for the 3 adults we had traveling, clean, gorgeous views and good kitchen. The host is responsive and we had everything we needed. our only comment is the comfort of the couch. since our stay was in winter over xmas, we spent time indoors at night and the couch was not ideal for football and movie watching.

Two night stay
My husband and I came to see Yosemite from Ohio and spent 2 nights in this property. Everything was clean and worked out great for us. We didn’t spend an exceptional amount of time there because we were in the park most of the day but would have liked to have more time to spend seeing the area around the house.

We, being 2 families (7 people in total), had the most amazing stay at the property. The location is just divine with the river and brilliant rock jump just a stones throw away and it’s close to all the best sightseeing locations in Yosemite. Would definitely recommend!!!

Lovely space for a family
It was probably too much space for us but the location on the water and inside the park was too good to pass up. I loved the kitchen (we cooked a lot) and the back porch. It had everything we needed and more.

Family trip to Yosemite
What an absolute treasure. This property served as our jumping off point for a tour of Yosemite NP and was absolutely perfect. It was clean, quiet and the perfect sanctuary at the end of a long day exploring. Well all remember being lulled to sleep each night by the sounds of the river. Thank you!
