***In December 2022, we managed to get Verizon home internet installed at the cabin! In addition to the Verizon home internet, we have a Verizon mobile hotspot as a backup. Wifi overall works great for basic internet browsing and some streaming. However, if multiple devices are constantly running, it may slowdown (this is very common at most places with Wifi in our area).
Welcome Guide- One week prior to arrival, a digital welcome book will be sent via email and text message. It will have your special door code, address, items provided, and much more great info to help you prepare for your trip!
Access to Yosemite and Nearby Attractions- Yosemite National Park, like many others across the United States, has implemented a reservation system in recent years to manage visitor numbers effectively. Since this home is located INSIDE Yosemite National Park, you will NOT NEED a separate entrance reservation, only proof of your lodging reservation (please see official park website for details). We highly recommend that visitors planning a trip to Yosemite stay informed by regularly checking the National Parks websites and affiliated sources for any updates regarding the reservation system. While we strive to provide our guests with an exceptional experience, it's important to note that access to Yosemite or nearby attractions cannot be guaranteed, especially during peak seasons. By staying informed and flexible, visitors can better navigate their travel plans and make the most out of their trip to this beautiful region.
Kitchen- The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cookware, cups, silverware, and more! Our housekeeping team leaves out salt, pepper, and a can of cooking spray. Friends, family, and other guests sometimes leave spices, aluminum foil or ziploc bags at the home. You are most welcome to use any of these items, but if something is particularly crucial to the success of your meals, we do recommend bringing it along with you.
Linens- Our vacation homes are some of the few in the Yosemite area to use professionally laundered linens. All linens are professionally serviced for each and every reservation. The linens are washed in commercial grade washers with stronger hypoallergenic detergent than you would find in a residential washer. All linens are then pressed with an iron at 300° F, vs. a standard home dryer that only reaches 160°. You are not likely to find this level of service in other vacation homes.
Please note: Indoor fireplaces AND outdoor fire pits are NOT allowed during county-wide burn bans, which often occur in the summer and fall months. This is due to heightened fire risk in the area at those times. Outdoor BBQ grills and propane fire pits are allowed year-round. *NOTE: The chimney on this home was damaged in a snowstorm in 2023, so the fireplace is not available for use at this time.
Hot Tub- There is no lifeguard on duty for the hot tub. Please use at your own risk. We kindly ask that you shower prior to entering the hot tub.
No Pets - Thank you for helping us protect those with pet allergies.
There is parking for 4 cars. Many of the local roads are privately owned and privately maintained. We appreciate you not exceeding the maximum parking limit.
Early check-in and late checkouts are usually unavailable. This includes luggage and grocery drop-offs. Please kindly plan your grocery shopping/traveling around the 4 PM check-in time (you can check in after that as late as you would like). If you need to check in early or check out late, we strongly recommend booking an additional night on the front end or back end of your stay. This will allow you to check in as early or check out as late as you need. Most homes up here have a 10AM checkout. We do 11AM to give you extra time. Our housekeepers and cleaning inspectors work all over the mountains, and timing is usually tight.
Occupancy- Maximum occupancy of 10 guests regardless of age. Infants are included in the total. This is strictly enforced. No having events/weddings/large dinner gatherings/guests over just to visit. This is a local zoning rule that is enforced inside Yosemite National Park. There are no exceptions.
Garbage- Garbage truck service is not available in this area. Yosemite Park requires visitors to "pack out" their garbage. There are several free bear proof dumpsters within walking distance of the cabin where you can dispose of your garbage. We have directions inside the welcome binder in the cabin!
Security Cameras- There are external only cameras on the premises that face certain entrance points of the home.
Chains- This property is located inside Yosemite National Park at an elevation of 4000 feet. Snow can often be expected from the late fall to the spring. California Highway Patrol and the National Parks Service may require chains and/or 4 wheel drive with snow tires in wintery/snowy/icy conditions. Please ensure you are bringing a vehicle and necessary equipment capable of navigating in these conditions.
No Smoking- The Smoke Remediation Fee will be a minimum of $500 for smoking in the house and could be higher depending on the extent of the damage.
Insurance- Travel Insurance is provided as an option during the checkout process. Please note that as hosts, we cannot protect your trip from flight delays, illnesses, weather, job loss, or other circumstances that may prevent you from making your trip. We truly wish we could! We STRONGLY suggest purchasing some type of Travel Insurance so that you may protect your vacation investment from unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from making your trip. It's a nominal cost that can absolutely pay off!
Mail- Due to locked neighborhood mailboxes, we ask you not mail anything to the property. You are most welcome to mail items to our office (Love Yosemite! Vacation Rentals) in Oakhurst. Please reach out to us to make arrangements.
Calling Us- The phone number on our account does not receive text messages, because it is the number for our office. Please call that number or send us a message if you need any help or have any questions!
Neighbors- Please do not trespass on the neighboring properties. We appreciate you respecting the local neighborhood!

We chose the Wawona area as gave access to both Yosemite NP primarily and possibly Sequoia NP if we wish during our recent visit. Location worked out great. Several activities inclcuing hikes and points of interest such as Mariposa Grove very close by. by for us plus easy, scenic drive to Yosemite Valley area. 3 hours to Sequoia NP we managed to take in also. Home was very well organized, well stock with the amenities we needed. Great open space - tables - seating for us to use including terrific, new outdoor grill for our group meals. Two king and one queen size beds for our adult group and 3 baths were great for our 3 adult couple group size. Overall home worked great for us.
Property was clean and well appointed . Plenty of space for all to gather and relax as needed
Great location and property managers were good. Issues were: 3 out of 4 air conditioners were not working for a couple of days. Floors were absolutely filthy, we had to buy floor cleaners and clean ourselves. Lots of cobwebs and dusts thru out house. Ice maker bearly made ice so had to buy ice daily. Umbrella next to hot tub was broken and had numerous wasp nests in it.
This is a very nice house in a tranquil setting but the blue circle on Vrbo that tells you where the address is before you book was on the wrong side of the river in Wawona. This property is on the Hotel side and up many roads and a sketchy bridge that washed out. I rent on Vrbo often and that blue circle is never not within a few blocks.. this is miles away. The house is very nice and tranquil just beware please of the location.
As described, We had 4 adults and 4 teens ages 13-16 and the place worked great for us. Great outdoor spaces and BBQ that we used every night.
The place was gorgeous and in an incredible location. It was the ideal spot in the park for our trip. I highly recommend the place and the hosts were highly communicative. I look forward to hopefully returning!
Amazing cabin!! Everything was spot on perfect! Bedrooms were great, bathrooms were super new and great! Highly recommend staying. The jacuzzi and fire pit are also the perfect hang out!!
Everything was great
It was a very good experience, we loved the privacy and the location of the place. The cleaning was an impressive detail, very clean and well organized. My family had an amazing weekend and we are sure we will be back. To be honest everything is excellent, if I can comment on something negative it is that the cooking pans are a little used, but it is not of great relevance, we loved!
Tucked away in a slightly hard to find but magical location. Clean, spacious and well equipped (although we never found the kettle). Lots of mosquitoes at night, but they don't bother you in the hot tub or inside the house.
We had a great stay! There was plenty of space for all 5 of us, clean rooms, and well-stocked kitchen areas, plus it was a very convenient location to explore Yosemite.
A little hard to find if arriving after dark but we loved the secluded feeling and privacy. The home was nicely furnished (great bathrooms!), and had everything you need to prepare meals. Lots of games and movies, a clean and ready to use hot tub too!
Property seems smaller than looks in the pictures. Water pressure was too law. Despite having multiple bathrooms only one person can shower at a time. At the time of checkout cleaning lady showed up and we notified we will be out within 15 mins and we were out within that time. but cleaning lady notified owner/manager and manager immediately called us to vacant the property.
Our adult children and their partners took a trip of a lifetime together (post Covid) to Yosemite, we found this hideaway cabin exactly what we were looking for! Tucked away in Wawona conveniently located 20 minutes from Mariposa Grove & 40 minutes from Yosemite village, the cabin provided a glorious “escape” to go back to and relax in the hot tub, enjoy a glass of wine out on the upper deck, and relax by a safe evening fire in the large fire pit. I personally enjoyed looking out of the bedroom window as the early morning sunshine hit the top of the trees ???.
We had a lovely week at 3 Springs. The location is quiet and peaceful, the hot tub was a hit with the kids and the wood burning stove added a nice touch on the cooler nights. We had a very small plumbing complaint that was handled within 18 hours by the team. Would highly recommend! My kids are already requesting a return visit!
We had a lovely stay at this house. We enjoyed exploring the nearby area and soaking in the hot tub.
