About this property

Inside Yosemite National Park near Wawona Village, California, USA. Sleeps 6.

Our family built this home in the 80s and it has been the gathering spot for many fun and relaxing trips with family and friends. We love this location where we enjoy the beauty of Yosemite without the crowds and tour buses. We continue to use the home so you'll find the house is stocked with kitchenware, basic bath needs, books, games, DVD movies, and old time personal affects.

Single story, 2 full bathrooms, living room, dining room, laundry room, full kitchen and kitchen island/breakfast bar, front and rear porches, driveway parking.

The house features large front and back porches with views of trees and a meadow. The front and back doors have camera door bells. The front door enters to a large living room with wood burning stove followed by a full kitchen and dining room, all with great windows. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on either side of the living room. With driveway space for three vehicles and bedrooms separated by large living space, this house is great for a couples trip, multiple family or friend groups, and families who desire private beds and baths. The house has laundry washer and dryer, dishwasher, heating and air conditioning, satellite TVs, WiFi Internet, and telephone.

Check in after 4pm and check out before 11am. Due to covid cleaning we need more time to clean the house and rugs. No Pets without permission.

If this Wawona cabin is not available call Diane and ask her about her other managed cabins.

Great cabin and great location
We’ve stayed here many times and love it!! Cabin layout is perfect. Every convenience is provided with clear instructions on how to use everything. There are safety features also, such as active extinguisher in the kitchen. Couldn’t ask for a better host or more interesting cabin.

Yosemite was unbelievable and then to come back to such a comfortable gun place was icing on the cake. Loved the owners collections and the place was well equipped for children. I plan to come back at some point with my grandkids.

We loved our stay! The cabin is very well stocked and filled with interesting collections. The space works well for a larger group, with separated bedrooms, open living space and a big deck. The hosts are very nice ans responsive. And, of course, you can’t beat the location! We hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Local Manager: Ms. Diane Martin

Host profile image
The owners built this cabin round 1980s. Most of the cabins in the area can be rented. Best time to go to Yosemite is early spring when there is water running over the water falls. Another good time is in the Fall before any snow builds up on the roads.

Why they chose this property

The golf coarse is closed 2022. Wawona hotel is partially open 2021 for work. No car gas in the ynp valley. chevron station in Wawona only. The big trees may be open in the summer. glacier point road to be worked on in 2022.

What makes this property unique

Our family loves sharing the oohs and ahhs of Yosemite National Park with first-time visitors. The world-wide popularity of the breathtaking park can make lodging close to the sites hard to secure. Yosemite does not have as many camp sites as it did in the past and hotel rooms are limited and expensive. There are some options along the rivers and in the Yosemite Valley area. Renting a cabin in Wawona is a unique opportunity to enjoy the park with time to yourself and your family away from the crowds of Yosemite Valley. Renting in Wawona is also a great idea for staging before or after overnight camping or backcountry camping within the park. Over night hiking can be done with a hiking permit from the Wawona ranger station or the Hotel Museum.
