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 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!

    Amazing location. The kitchen was a great perk.

    We had a lovely stay at the cabin. Great location. Love the layout of the cabin and there’s enough room for a big family.

    Overall, the property is not bad. It can sleep up to 10 people, we only had 4. 1 small crowded bathroom only, so more than 4 people could be a problem. Lights were really dimmed making it difficult to cook and eat after sunset. Only 1 roll of toilet paper was provided for 4 days, 4 people. No paper towel was provided. No dishwasher.There was a spot, near the stove and dish shelves, when walking over makes rattling sound waking people up in the morning. No outside trash cans were available, we had to drive about 1/4 mile to dump trash.

    We had a wonderful stay at this chalet in Yosemite! It was spacious, very clean, and full of charm. The old-fashioned oven and kitchen sink area gave it character while working perfectly for our needs. Evenings were cozy. Our kids learned to play Rummikub for the first time, which made for some great memories. We’d definitely stay here again!

    We appreciated staying inside the park. It made everything easy and the drives a little closer. The place was well maintained and very cute.

    Listing is accurate. Cabin was difficult to locate at night, but the off-hours staff was very helpful and drove out to show us where to go. Good home base for exploring Yosemite, about an hour drive from the valley. Space was sufficient for family of six.

    We had a great time! Loved the cabin, loved staying in the national park for convenience and had a great experience overall with our trip. Redwoods staff was friendly and helpful. Only surprise was that the cabin was not as secluded as it appeared. Several other private cabins around, but ended up being a very peaceful and nice area to stay.

    This cabin is well equipped for family use. The only drawbacks (as advertised) there is only one bathroom. Not a lot of mirrors hanging about for “getting ready” outside of bath. Would have given 5 stars for cleanliness, however, tons of spiderwebs where walls meet ceiling. Grab an extension rod and give it a sweep? Antique stove was tricky but functional. Loved the swing bridge swim at end of street. a pilot?

    We had a great stay at Wawona during the Memorial Day long weekend. The location is good, refreshing and close enough to the Yosemite valley. However, the place didn't have enough paper towels, salt and pepper, shampoo and bathroom essentials. So you will have to bring everything with yourself or you can buy it in the Yosemite super market. Communication with the property manager was a little bit hard and they were slow in responding to the messages. Overall, it was a great stay.

    Great chalet in the mountains of yosemite! Kids loved the wood stove and the loft. Laundry was great. Checkin was delayed due to staffing issues, but they took care of us in the end. Vintage stove and sink bring challenges if not used to operating, but the charm is wonderful and we were able to cook all our meals. Definitely would stay again! Super cozy feels!

    This cabin is perfect for our family. Our kids loved the loft and the open living, dining, and kitchen area makes for great fellowship beginning and ending the day. The cabin has plenary of space and the essentials for a great stay inside the park. And the Pine Tree Market is a great place to stop for your perishable food. We loved our stay and hope we get to comeback someday!

    We enjoyed staying in the A-frame cabin with loft and it was a lovely scenic drive into the valley. Downstairs beds were very comfortable. Kitchen living area suited a family very well. Appreciated being able to do laundry and use the grill. Had some difficulty with using older gas stove.
