I love this property, second time staying here the host are great they are great at communicating and solving issues quickly. The cabin is located at a great location close by a little store and it’s a short walk down the river. Overall I would recommend this cabin to anyone visiting Yosemite national park!

I’ve never been to south Yosemite before. I wasn’t expecting too much being directly in the park. I wasn’t pleasantly surprised with not only the area but the house too. It had everything you needed, it was clean, and the host was willing to help answer any questions I had throughout my stay. I hope to stay here again in the future.

The place is in a great location for easy access to the park. There's a couple close swimming holes. The home was clean, well kept, and in a quiet area. Communication with the host was quick the one time I needed to send a message. The master bed and bath had plenty of space fo us to spread out. I wouldn't hesitate to choose this place again.

Authentic & superb stay at Wawona

So close to Wawona, the Pika house is full of 70’s charm. Spaciously nested just a minutes drive away from the Wawona hotel, we were struck by the high quality vintage decor, look and feel of the property. Would sure stay again, we loved it!!

We stayed here for four nights as a family of four, and the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout was perfect for us. The location is also a big plus—about an hour from Yosemite, making it convenient for visiting the park. The A/C units throughout the house kept the rooms comfortable. Unfortunately, the home’s condition did not justify the nearly 2,000 price tag for 4 nights. The living room and bathrooms had musty, moldy odors, the master shower floor was not clean, and the shower drain gurgled whenever the toilet was flushed. The Wi-Fi was extremely slow, making it difficult to browse the internet or even watch local TV. The oven took over 30 minutes to preheat and struggled to reach 350F.While the size and location were great, the home felt very much in need of updates, maintenance and cleaning.

This guest never informed us during their stay that there were any issues with odors or cleanliness. Had we been contacted during her stay, we would have immediately asked our housekeeper come again to clean. AT&T is the wifi provider for Wawona and they do not offer their premium service in the park, so if a group of four with multiple devices is accessing the wifi it is likely to be slower than what those of us living in more populated areas are accustomed to.

Great spot in the woods

Michelle and Pete's place is the perfect place to get in and out of Yosemite. The listing is exactly as described and we had no problems finding it or getting in. The beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed for the stay. Would stay again for sure!

Perfect Location

What a wonderful place to stay while visiting Yosemite! I HIGHLY recommend staying inside the park to avoid the crazy long entry lines each day. This place was perfect. And there are plenty of fun things to do nearby: Chilnualna Falls, the swinging bridge, Wawona History Center and more.

Yosemite Cabin

This place is even nicer than what the pictures show. Fresh wildflowers were placed around the house for an added beautiful touch. Everything we could possibly need for our comfort was available to us. Close proximity to many local attractions. We loved this place.

Wawona

This is a lovely place to stay for a quiet visit to Yosemite. A drive to the valley but worth it as we could escape the crowds and really get away from it all. Good facilities. Handy local shop and delightful dark skies. Highly recommend for a family.

Great location.

We were so happy to be in the park and not have to worry about the entrance lines daily. Did the hike to the waterfall close to the house. The meadow hike was very relaxing. Even played a round of golf.
