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

    The Redwoods team is wonderful- great communication before our trip re: recommended route, key things to remember, thorough list of what is/is not provided at the cabin. Just outside our cabin door were several hikes through beautiful scenery - roaring streams, trees and wildflowers, boulders covered in moss, views of surrounding mountains. Wawona was a great place to stay for easy access to Yosemite Valley. The Redwoods friendly and knowledgeable maintenance team responded to a noisy dripping shower head in our master bedroom on a Saturday, replacing the vintage shower head after tracking down tools that would fit the old unit. They brought over mouse traps and set them, making sure we knew what to do if they actually caught the little guy. The cabin had plenty of space for our family of 5 adults to enjoy hanging out together, sharing meals, building a giant puzzle, just talking and relaxing together - plus room for some alone time. We really enjoyed our time at the Redwoods in Simmons Den.

    Our stay was excellent. The cabin itself was clean, well appointed, and cozy. The staff were always available to help with any request we had. I'd highly recommend The Redwoods and (70) Simmons Den to anyone.

    As advertised. Very quiet neighborhood right in the park. Not alot to eat there so it’s advised to get groceries beforehand. There is a market in the neighborhood but it’s pretty expensive. Place wasn’t amazing but cute and worked for our family. Didn’t give full 5 stars because showers were very tight and the beds weren’t that comfortable. We would come back here thought without a doubt.

    We had a very relaxing weekend celebrating my husband's birthday with our kids & my in-laws. The cabin was clean & cozy. The kitchen was well stocked for the cooking we did. We were right across the street for the office and within walking distance from the store. It was nice to spend the days exploring Yosemite & returning to the cabin to stay the night. We have no complaints & would stay in the same cabin again!

    Cobwebs on lights over the stove and in the corners of living room. Toilet bowls were filthy. Lamp did not work. Was burned badly getting a sheet pan out of drawer beneath oven. No insulation apparently. Mattresses were terrible. One guest slept on the sofa all week and the other slept on the top bunk instead of with his wife. The service was good,but I will not recommend the Simmons Den. Or maybe the cleaning service should be fired.

    This is a great cabin just inside the South Gate of Yosemite. It was a good base for activities. Still 45 min drive to the valley. They had a well stocked kitchen. Good basecamp for activities.

    We only stayed for two nights. Didn’t enjoyed much time at the cabin. Wish we have had more time to barbecue, light up the fire place, cocktails, etc.
