The privacy afforded at this cabin and the Wawona community locally was just perfect for our family vacation of 4 for Yosemite NP.There were 2 small general stores nearby that had all that we needed for grocery and the cabin’s kitchen was truly marvelously stocked with any kitchen tool, dish, or appliance we needed. The grill was also clean and ready for action.Close to Wawona Stables and the Swinging Bridge, perfect for adventures close by and inside the park to skip the lines in the morning; about 45 minutes drive to Yosemite Valley and 5 minutes to Mariposa Grove.

Loved the location, very quiet.

Although this cabin is a 35-40 minute drive from Yosemite Valley we were happy to be there. We have visited Yosemite many times and were happy to explore Wawona and that part of the Park. The cabin was clean and comfortable, the property managers were very, very helpful and overall I would recommend.

Beautiful, peaceful Yosemite getaway.

If you are looking for someplace flashy and new, this isn’t for you. But if you are looking for a comfortable, well equipped cabin in beautiful surroundings this is perfect. Located inside Yosemite made it a breeze to get around the park and it enabled us to avoid the long lines to get in. We had a wonderful time!

Just enough

This cabin fit 2 parents and 3 young adults comfortably. It is inside the park so you don’t have to wait in the long lines to get into Yosemite. It is an hour from the valley. It is a beautiful drive and it was nice to be away from the crowds. The neighbors are so friendly and the woman at the general store was so warm and helpful. There are hikes in the area; Chilnualna and the swinging bridge were a short car ride. We were able to get groceries in Oakhurst which is 30 minutes away. Make sure to get everything you need at the store as the cabin only supplied a small amount of toilet paper and garbage bags. No condiments.

Our family stayed a week at Cecil’s cabin. It is right inside the national park so no need to go through the entrance each day. It’s somewhat deep in the woods, a few min drive off the main road, so recommend arriving in daylight. No WiFi but we had a signal with Verizon, and there was a great little radio inside for old music. It was spacious and comfortable, with one bedroom upstairs and an huge basement type room with multiple beds and a second half bathroom downstairs. Each had its own heat. Cleanliness was above average which I really appreciated. It was well stocked for cooking and essentials, and we didn’t need to request or purchase any extra items. Heating worked great, and the wood stove was so cozy. There was plenty of firewood available. Beds were comfortable. There is a small creek with a bridge a short walk down the hill from your front door. We could hear the creek water from the porch, and my daughter loved playing there each morning. We drove into Yosemite 4 of 6 days, which I think took just under 1 hour of winding mountain driving, and there is also a beautiful swinging bridge area to explore and picnic at right in Wawona, so that’s nice for days you don’t want to drive. There is a general store a few min drive from the cabin as well, expensive like most stores in the area. Just remember to drive to pick up your key at the office building about 10 min away (in an envelope if you arrive after hours) b4 driving to the cabin, and take it back at checkout time.

Beautiful location,cabin needs updated

Check in was delayed due to cabin not ready . We had to wait for over one hour for the cabin to be cleaned before we could check in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was nice with plenty of room. The cabin is in desperate need of a good deep cleaning, it was dirty. The furniture needs updating.The TV did not work. The maintenance people fixed the tv promptly after our call. This cabin has a lot of potential. It has been neglected for years. It could be a great cabin if it was fixed up. Beautiful location and very peaceful. We would not stay there again. I could not recommend anyone to stay there until they clean it up and fix it up. Thanks!

Craig, We thank you for the review. We apologize for the wait in regards to checking in. We do our best to ensure that each guest checks in on time, but sometimes that is not possible. We are sad to hear that you found the cabin to be "neglected." This cabin is one of our many "rustic" options, and although the owner has decorated it as such, the cabin itself is updated and far from neglected. We are sorry that you would not stay with us again. as we are more than willing to help you book a cabin that would be a better fit for you next time around. We have over 110 cabins in our inventory, so we believe that at least one of them would fit your needs. We hope that you will consider giving us another chance knowing this, and we hope that our resolution to this issue sufficed. -The Redwoods In Yosemite Team

Charming Cabin in the middle of nature

We had a wonderful time at the Cabin during the end of March. The wood burning fire stove was a plus and really made the experience cozy. The cabin is in a more secluded part and really felt private. The deck was a nice place to stargaze at the end of the day as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay and vacation!

Last Available Cabin

We booked this cabin because it was literally the last available cabin in Wawona during our travel dates. If you have this cabin on a hot summer day, know that it stays hot inside for most of the day on the 2nd floor (there's one floor fan for the living room and a ceiling fan in the bedroom). The well-stocked kitchen was a nice touch. We stayed here during Covid and a bottle of hand sanitizer and cleaning spray were provided for us, but no hand soap. There's also a strict 10am check-out, and check-in begins no earlier than 4pm. We weren't able to check in until a little after 5pm because the cabin wasn't ready yet. Overall, it was an okay experience.

Hot August Vacation

Clean. Spacious. Warm. Sturdy. The woods surrounding the property contained tons of decaying logs. The highway (41) leading to the property and surrounding the property were also depressing: miles of burnt forest and decaying wood. We felt like we were driving into a scene from the movie, "Deliverance". Indoors, everything was intact. Comfy beds, good fridge and stove. But... no A/C. We knew this, but it being in a Mountain area, we believed it wouldn't be hot. It was in the 100's. To enjoy our vacation, we stayed indoors until it became hot. Then, we closed windows and shutters to keep the heat out. We went to the river to cool down. Around 6 pm, we returned, and turned on the fan. Around 8 or 9 pm, it began to cool down, and we opened the windows. After that, it became cooler. I don't have a problem with this, except we paid $450.00 per nite for this accommodation. We could have flown to Hawaii and stayed in an air conditioned condo. No, I won't rent from these people again, I won't recommend it to anyone, and I won't recommend YNP because the forest is seriously compromised. Not the Yosemite I knew and enjoyed years ago. Yosemite is in decline!

Great family stay

We had a lot of family fun there during Thanksgiving week: quiet place in the forest, many places to go around, the cabin had all we needed including fireplace and firewood, gas station and convenience store nearby, and we were lucky to get lots of snow, which made the kids 100% happy. So very positive experience.

Beautiful woodland location.

A functional, clean base with lovely wood burning stove and everything needed for your Yosemite family stay and lovely woods to explore right outside the cabin. Worked for us with an 8,5&3 year old. Fittings a little tired and nothing fancy but kitchen well equipped and everything you need for a base for an outdoorsy short break. It takes just under an hour to the Visitor Center in Yosemite in good weather and very light traffic but obviously very convenient for Wawona explorations and Mariposa Grove. Don’t misread the house number as two numbers instead of a number and a letter like us. We must have driven past it several times In the dark before realising our error! Overall a comfortable stay in a lovely secluded wooded location.

Great spot for us. Lovely location. Nothing fancy, but perfect for us. The only problem was check in... We arrived after hours (dark) and had much difficulty finding the cabin. Thankfully, one of the property managers met us and took us there. Maybe better signage for the properties... Thank you

Nice place

Clean, very spacious and comfortable place away from crowds, truly has everything you need. Not great for a short stay as it is quite far from the valley, took us about 1 hour each day. If you have more time, like a week or so and can take a couple days off to explore the area around the house, than that works. House could benefit from some updates interior and exterior and some of the neighboring homes look run down.

Private cabin with nice view of the woods, not too far from Yosemite Valley

We enjoyed Cecil's Cabin for 4 nights in July (before the Ferguson Fire started). Although it was a 30 minute drive to Yosemite Valley, we also appreciated the peace and quiet that would not have been the case had we stayed in the Valley. The furnishings were pretty basic, but the cabin had most everything we needed. The view from the back deck was very restful, and except for one cabin in sight (with no occupant when we were there), all other cabins were far away. The downstairs bedroom was great for the teens, as it was a separate domain, along with half bath and door to the bottom part of the deck. If you want the feel of way out in the woods without really being that far from the main road (just a couple of minutes from Route 41), this is a very good choice.

Cecil's Cabin was wonderful!

The cabin was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. It was secluded in a beautiful wooded lot; saw deer right off the deck area! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. Hiking trails nearby were incredible with the waterfalls to view. Wildflowers everywhere. Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely stay there again; I would recommend Cecil's Cabin to everyone!

Cabin in the woods

This was a nice cabin - well situated above the river and an easy walk to a swimming hole. It was well shaded during the day so stayed relatively cool. It was clean and a good place to launch a trip.
