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 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 to everything that Wawona has to offer, and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

    Check in was delayed due to cabin not ready . We had to wait for over one hour for the cabin to be cleaned before we could check in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was nice with plenty of room. The cabin is in desperate need of a good deep cleaning, it was dirty. The furniture needs updating.The TV did not work. The maintenance people fixed the tv promptly after our call. This cabin has a lot of potential. It has been neglected for years. It could be a great cabin if it was fixed up. Beautiful location and very peaceful. We would not stay there again. I could not recommend anyone to stay there until they clean it up and fix it up. Thanks!

    This cabin was a lovely and quiet place to relax after an exciting day at the Yosemite. It was clean and spacious and perfect for us and our teens. Loved the different paintings hanging from the walls.

    This cabin fit 2 parents and 3 young adults comfortably. It is inside the park so you don’t have to wait in the long lines to get into Yosemite. It is an hour from the valley. It is a beautiful drive and it was nice to be away from the crowds. The neighbors are so friendly and the woman at the general store was so warm and helpful. There are hikes in the area; Chilnualna and the swinging bridge were a short car ride. We were able to get groceries in Oakhurst which is 30 minutes away. Make sure to get everything you need at the store as the cabin only supplied a small amount of toilet paper and garbage bags. No condiments.

    If you are looking for someplace flashy and new, this isn’t for you. But if you are looking for a comfortable, well equipped cabin in beautiful surroundings this is perfect. Located inside Yosemite made it a breeze to get around the park and it enabled us to avoid the long lines to get in. We had a wonderful time!

    We had a wonderful time at the Cabin during the end of March. The wood burning fire stove was a plus and really made the experience cozy. The cabin is in a more secluded part and really felt private. The deck was a nice place to stargaze at the end of the day as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay and vacation!
