    Located in a very cute and cozy area of Wawona. We had detailed info on how to find the place and info during the stay. When we were missing something, they responded right away. The place was comfortable and had everything both of our families needed.

    A family gathering. Great to have 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, laundry, kitchen. Inside Yosemite and 1 hr drive to Yosemite village. Small market a short walk at the end of the road. Loved it!

    The air conditioner was not working when we arrived. Owner responded quickly and had it repaired that day. House smelled stale. Appeared not to have been used or aired-out for a while. Furniture and decor were “tired/old” looking. There were no dish towels or cloths in the kitchen. There was no laundry soap or fabric softener. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to be in the park.

    We stayed for 5 nights. When we arrived the place was moderately cleaned. There are spider webs and dust inside. Also, the cleaned towels were still left in the dryer. The grill outside did not work. We swapped the propane tank, still nothing. The utensils were ok, pots and pans needed to cleaned before use. The master bedroom bed was very uncomfortable. Very bouncy and lumpy. Overall it’s ok, I don’t think the price we paid for the stay is justified

    Nice cabin, lots of space, quiet and comfortable, enormous deck. Inside the park but about 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley. Wawona has a very nice market in walking distance of the cabin, and a gas station on the main road. There are hiking trails in the area but we didn’t have time to use any of them — too short a stay! Would definitely stay here again!!

    We loved this cabin. It was on a quiet road in the woods but was still conveniently located close to the little Wawona market. It was clean and had everything we needed.

    Overall, the area is quaint and cute around the home with the market and river. The home itself needs some tender, love and care. Cobwebs and bugs were in corners. The porch needs attention with nails popping and paint peeling. Beds were comfortable. The baking sheet to use to cook was so old and gross I couldn’t put food on it even after washing it. The most disappointing for us was the value/cost after realizing the Yosemite Cottages at the Redwoods had three bedroom/two bathrooms for half the cost and more updated.

    Upon arrival we found mouse poop throughout the entire kitchen especially in the silverware drawer. When I texted Daniel he apologized and said he would “try” to get someone out to clean the house. No one ever showed up and we never heard from Daniel again. One of the queen beds was broken and spiderwebs in the living room. By far the most disgusting rental we have ever stayed in.

    Great location for staying at Yosemite. Overall we were happy with our stay. Rooms were nice and living area was fun to have with our group of six. Loved the deck. We felt we may have been the first visitors for the season. Host was very responsive and helpful. I would stay there again.

    Our family of four enjoyed our 3-night stay at this cabin. It is well stocked with linens and dishes. My husband and I enjoyed looking at the stars on the deck at night.

    The house was great and very clean with a just a few exceptions. The dishwasher was left full of dishes and the refrigerator had puddles of water in the drawers. The deck was big and spacious, however you had to be careful as there were nail heads sticking up all over. With that being said, we had a great time and would stay there again. Loved seeing the deer everyday and just being in trees.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin. We booked late, and felt lucky to be able to stay in the park, especially when we saw the long lines to get in as we departed! The beds were especially comfortable, and wifi and television reception were fine. It was very clean and linens and towels were plentiful. Dishwasher and washer/dryer were much appreciated! I cooked and made picnic lunches with ease. As others noted, weathered wooden decks are prone to popped up nails, so shoes are a must. After you enter the park, the Wawona area is close, and from this cabin you can walk to Pine Tree Market for forgotten items. Just past this store, turn left to go toward Chilnualna Falls. It's a short distance by car to parking area and it's an easy walk to the falls. Mariposa Grove is back toward the south entrance, but I'd put it last on things to see in Yosemite. Still, it's a short drive and a shuttle bus will ferry you from the parking lot. The drive to Valley is maybe a bit longer than 35 minutes, but that's a close estimate.Get there early and keep your parking spot. Glacier Point Road is on the right before you get to the Valley entrance. Several miles down this road you'll get to Sentinel Dome and Glacier Point Overlook. -Sunset on Sentinel Dome is amazing (moderate 1+ mi. hike), viewing at Glacier Point overlook is at the parking area. Location of this cabin was excellent, and other than National Park sites, I didn't see other sites that would be appreciably closer.

    Ideal cabin for a group in the Ponderosa woods. Lots of room and very comfortable. The deck needs some work but otherwise a lovely place. Five hiking seniors enjoyed the ease of driving to the main sites, waterfalls, Yosemite valley and hiking trails. Would go back again!
