About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Our family has owned this property since 1954. My parents loved the wilderness and were passionate about preservation of Yosemite and other national parks. They volunteered and led wildflower and birding walks all around Yosemite. In 2022 we constructed a new much larger cabin on the original property and added levels to take advantage of the sweeping views.

Why they chose this property

Wawona is a historic neighborhood within the Park, founded long before Yosemite National Park was established. It is a real community with wonderful swimming holes, trails to the high country, markets, gas station, a meadow walk full of wildflowers, library, summer horseback rides, near to Badger Pass skiing, Mariposa Grove, Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley and is one of two in-holdings, truly inside the Park,--so no waiting at the gates to come in and out of the Park each day.

What makes this property unique

The modern architecture and location allow for views from every room and level; many areas for connection; yet lots of privacy for families wanting to share. Radiant floor heating throughout affords a cozy and warm feeling in fall and winter. The design is exceptional for enjoying the tranquility of Yosemite year round.
