The front of the house features a 44 foot, 500+ square foot deck that looks across to wide-open parkland. There is a propane barbecue for outside grilling that’s only steps from the kitchen and a picnic table with a large umbrella that provides comfortable outdoor seating. The back deck features a covered gazebo over the hot tub that is steps from both master bedrooms. Towels are provided.



The spacious, open living room/dining room/kitchen features a cozy propane fireplace that provides a comfortable ambiance on cold nights. A wide granite peninsula separates the dining room from the kitchen. The dining room table allows space for 6 to 8 people, plus more seating at the bar. The kitchen has most everything needed to cook your favorite meal, including an ice cream maker.



The downstairs master bedroom features a queen-size log bed and a twin bed with a trundle. The bathroom has both a shower and a unique, large soaking tub great for both adults and kids. A sliding glass door opens to the back deck and hot tub. The third bedroom features a log queen bed with a bathroom directly across the hall. One of the couches in the living room makes into a comfortable queen bed providing yet another separate sleeping area.



The upstairs master bedroom has a Cal-King bed with a gas-log fireplace and a wall-mounted TV. Enjoy the comfortable window seat to read a book or take a nap on. The newly remodeled bathroom has a walk-in shower.



A short hike from the house takes you to the lower Chilnualna Falls, swinging bridge, or several swimming holes in the South Fork of the Merced River. Avid hikers might enjoy a more strenuous hike to the top of upper Chilnualna Falls that continues on to the top of Wawona Dome. Wawona is a truly unique place to base your exploration of the world-famous Yosemite National Park.



Inside the community of Wawona, often known as the “quiet” part of Yosemite, is the beautiful and historic Wawona Hotel with its tennis courts and 9 hole golf course, the pioneer history center where you and your family can take a ride in Burl “Buckshot” Mayer’s two horse-powered stagecoaches. Wawona also boasts the only public horseback riding stables and one of the two gas stations in Yosemite.



Catch the free shuttle bus to the majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias that’s 6 miles away. Of course, you won’t want to miss the scenic 45-minute drive over the mountain to the spectacular Yosemite Valley, or majestic Glacier Point overlooking the valley below. During winter enjoy the family-friendly ski area of Badger Pass, or continue down to Yosemite Valley to see the breathtaking winter scenes and skate in the outdoor ice skating rink. Then return to the ambiance of Apple Tree Bear House for a relaxing evening in the hot tub, or enjoying an evening of games and puzzles. Read the lyrical story of where the name of the house derived, and take the book home for a keepsake if you chose, compliments of the owners

    This is a very spacious well-kept home. The owners clearly have taken great pride in providing guests with all the special touches to offer a cozy & comfy experience. Everything worked well. We loved the book about the story of the house, which will remain a treasure and will allow our grandson to remember his trip with us. Two easy suggestions are: (1) Cleaning the ceiling grate in the bathroom (dusty) (2) Providing a few tissue boxes Thanks so much for an outstanding stay!

    The cabin was great, kitchen was beautiful, deck had a beautiful view and we had deer walk right up to the driveway. Worked out perfectly for our stay!

    We had a wonderful stay and the property is beautiful. We’d love to come back in the winter sometime. The power went out for the last 16 hours of our stay which is out of the control of the host and not remotely their fault but they didn’t answer when I called about how to properly check out without power. I think I figured it out anyway though. The house and amenities were perfect and the location was great too!

    Very impressed with this property. It exceeded our expectations. It was conveniently located, very well stocked, and comfortable. What a wonderful bonus to have the hot tub and game room. Our only complaint is the puzzles. We tried and put away 3 different puzzles. Each puzzle in the house’s collection had several missing pieces making them much more difficult which became a running joke for the stay.

    Sometimes photos of rentals make them seem larger than life, but in the case of the Apple Tree Bear House, the real deal was better than could be expressed by photos. The charming details were many. Wish we had more time to spend there!

    We were only here for 2 days, but the house had everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the amenities and the game room downstairs was fun. The hot tub out back was very nice

    Pros: spotlessly clean, kitchen well stocked with great appliances, outdoor hot tub was awesome after hikes, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood with convenient small general store and walk to Chilnualna Falls hike and swinging bridge over river. Cons: None. Just go.

    We really enjoyed staying at this place. It had everything we needed for cooking. We enjoyed the hot tub after a long day in the park. It was a perfect size so you didn’t fell like you were on top of everyone. We will definitely stay here again when we come back!

    A truly great property. You've seen the beautiful pictures and know the great location, but this house is also roomy enough to hold two families (4 adults and 4 kids) comfortably, cozy and warm even during our winter stay, has high quality mattresses and bedding (a pet peeve of mine in vaction rentals), high quality hot tub, foosball and ping pong. 5 stars across the board!

    We loved this home! Every room had its own bathroom. It was so cozy. Highly recommend and would go back. My only complaint is the property managers called 3 times at 8.30pm To welcome us and they called from The home phone. We had kids sleeping so We hung up. They called 2 more times and We’re rude to us. Other than that the home was so perfect for us and the 3 young kids we had there! Thank you!
