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 trail heads 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 110 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!

    This is an amazing little cabin. It has almost everything you could want. And it’s so quiet and peaceful. The only downside was that the laundry room closed so early at 2:30pm

    Nice cute cozy cabin . Clean in general. All utilities were functioning except air conditioner. Sofa bed could be changed and definitely needs insecticide spray as there were spiders. Would definitely recommend for a quiet place in woods.

    Though there are plenty of pans and plates, some of the utensils are old.

    Great cabin in the south entrance of Yosemite. Peaceful and quiet, cozy retreat after a day exploring in the park.

    All the amenities you need, only criticism would be the lack of sunlight inside but this is hard given you are in a wooded area!

    This was a great spot on the edge of a great neighborhood within Yosemite. The porch was great for meals. The cabin had all we needed for a fun trip. We really enjoyed our stay. I recommend it.

    Not somewhere we wanted to spend time. The cabin is very dark inside even on sunny days. The interior is rather outdated and scruffy. The property had had some pesticide treatment ( an information note was in the property ). The outdoor chairs and table were covered in it - a yellow / green which made then unusable without a good clean first. Nowhere to hang wet laundry. Hob: ignition temperamental; dishwasher: far too noisy to put on overnight; oven trays dirty; utensils - many at end of their useful life - rusty can opener. Overall, very expensive for the poor quality. Would not stay there again. Positives: situated within Yosemite National Park; the General Store - Pine Tree Market was an excellent place for provisions.

    This is a comfortable cabin with all you need for an affordable stay. It's an older cabin but not in disrepair. Kitchen has all cooking appliances and dishware you need. Plenty of windows to open for viewing or fresh air or keep closed for privacy. We used both the bed in the bedroom and the pull-out sofa for our sleeping needs. Comfortable and easy to maintain. Good water pressure and quick hot water response. Enough space outside to wander about in nature but not a remote location - other cabins nearby. The grocery store in the community was very helpful and was opened decent hours. A convenient place to stay between the entrance and the valley floor of Yosemite. We could hear the babbling creek from our cabin. Very pleasant!!!!!!

    Located in the southern part of Yosemite, this cozy cabin was perfect for our five day stay. Local hikes are wonderful and we were able to reach Yosemite Valley within an hour for major hikes and then return to the peaceful porch to eat, recover and enjoy nature. The microwave and grill are tired but overall the cabin and environs were an oasis from everyday life.

    While this property was clean and served our purposes, it definitely had some wear and age on it. The carpet in the living room was old shag, and had a stain, and the linoleum was pulling up around the perimeter of the rooms. The kitchen cabinetry was very scratched up and worn looking. The microwave was from the 1980’s and took twice as long to heat things as it should have. Please at least invest $50 in a new microwave. The bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water. It was very peaceful and relaxing there. The location was very convenient for going into Mariposa and not too far from Yosemite Valley. The property management team was very helpful, friendly and accommodating.
