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 pick-up 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!

Great cabin in Yosemite

We spent a long weekend here in February, and we really enjoyed this lovely, cozy cabin. It was conveniently located in the park, not too far from Badger Pass. The cabin was very spacious, comfortable, well-stocked and maintained, and had excellent WiFi. The highlight was the foosball table. It was also nice to have 2 bathrooms.

Perfect for the family

Staying in the park is a must and this place was perfect for us and our adult daughter for three days. It could easily accommodate two more adults. As well located as anything not in the valley. Not fancy but nothing at all wrong with it. We would be very happy to stay here again and world recommended to family and friends. Local store was great.

Master Bathroom

All was really good. The only issue was the master bath toilet seat that had really bad yellow stain which was an eyesore and the toilet seat is highly recommended to be entirely replaced.

Perfect for family of 5!

We stayed 3 nights at Howard’s 75 property inside Yosemite National Park. We really valued staying in the park and not needing to wait in line to enter every day. The cabin neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was sooo clean and well taken care of. We did wish that it had some of the basic food items, like some spices or dry goods, but we made due. The local store just a 1.4 mile down was helpful and the owner was so friendly. This was the perfect size for our family and the kids enjoyed the goose all table too! We definitely recommend this cabin for any family or group visiting Yosemite!
