Great Home on the River

This was the perfect place for two families with young children. The house was very clean and well appointed. The only minor drawback was the small kitchen, since we were cooking for 8 people. Luckily the weather was beautiful and we were able to make use of the grill and amazing deck. I would definitely book this rental again.

Picturesque cabin on the river

Lovely cabin with stellar and serene views of the south Merced River. Located inside Yosemite Park was extremely convenient and we saved hours of waiting in car lines to enter the park. In the mornings we explored Yosemite National Park and in the afternoons we swam, fished, and played in the river. There is a lovely market called Pine Tree at the end of the street, a nice walk to pick up any items needed for the week. At night we fell asleep to the calming sounds of the river below. Would 10 out of 10 recommend. Such a beautiful and memorable trip for our family.

Great location

Great location but cabin could be updated and cleaned better. There were dirty washcloths in bathroom and dirty bath mats hanging outside. The bedrooms with the king downstairs is very small and the kitchen counter space is tiny. There is an odd and pervasive smell too.. but the location is great. The decks fabulous and the beds comfortable. Just needs some housekeeping attention and the smells addressed.

Perfect family vacation in the park

We loved our stay at this property! A few hundred steps to the river and swimming hole and the view of the river from every window and the deck. Comfortable beds and kitchen was equipped with the essentials. We hiked to the Wawona Dome from the house and the Swinging Bridge in Wawona as well. Saw 9 deer from the deck during our stay and many blue jays. Looks like there is another deck in construction currently, only feedback would be to find a way to lock that door by key so that kids in that room can't access an unfinished deck. The house was clean and stocked with plenty of sheets, towels, etc. Great gas grill as well. We will definitely be back!

The stay was great but there were things that were very disappointing for the money that we paid

The stay was great but there were things that were disappointing, the floors were very dirty like they hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time, there was dog or cat hair everywhere on the floor and in the carpet , there was no blender in cabin and some dishes were dirty, also the dish sponge was dirty with good residue, it’s a beautiful cabin with a hreat view it just needs a little more cleaning

Beautiful location, rustic cabin

We really enjoyed our stay, despite arriving in mid July during a heatwave and realizing there is no AC. I completely overlooked that detail in the listing and we were traveling with our older parents who were not pleased. The cabin is very rustic but clean and there are fans in every room. The river below is gorgeous but getting down is steep! My parents were unable to get down to the river which was a bummer. We, on the other hand, enjoyed floating and swimming every afternoon after we got back from Yosemite Valley. Also, the Chilnualna Falls trail in the neighborhood is a must do! So beautiful and a quick hike.

Merced River was great

We enjoyed our stay in Wawona very much. It was a perfect spot to stay and visit Yosemite. The house overlooks the Merced River and we spent a lot of time down at the river. Please note, there is no air conditioning. For most of our stay that worked fine, but we did have one evening that it was quite warm and for some reason that also happened to be the same night a very rowdy group of young people went down to the river well past quiet time hours. Every other day, it was actually pretty quiet on our little dead end street. The house is older, but in good shape. It fit our family well and there is a lot of deck space outside to sit and enjoy looking over the river at the end of a day. I would definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area.

Great location

The location was great. The jumping rock was the key to this property. I was not impressed with the home itself. I honestly was disappointed as I walked in. The kitchen was extremely old and needed desperate upgrading. If it wasn't for the jumping rock and the location of this home I would have found elsewhere to sleep. There was a washer and dryer that was not hooked up, which was also unfortunate. There was NOT a laundry facility near by for private renters to use either.

Fantastic Yosemite family vacation!

We had 10 family members going to Yosemite and wanted a place where we could all stay together and still enjoy Yosemite! - This was the perfect spot, after spending the day in the Valley and on hikes, we would come back and jump in the watering spot directly behind the house, then eat and spend the night in the Jacuzzi looking at the stars! We ate every meal outside on the large deck which was a perfect way to start and end every day. There is a lower room which we called the "kid zone" because it has 3 sets of bunk beds in the room and was perfect for all our kids. There is a small market that is really and has almost everything you could possibly need. Although the internet is not "super high speed" it worked fine for us - we watched some Netflix movies and were still able to get some work done. Great place - highly recommend

Great stay!

We loved the location! Our stay was great. 10 of us were in the cabin, it was a little tight but we didn't mind it. We all slept on a bed, had pillow, towel, blanket and that's what matter. Only issue for us was the size of the kitchen, not a lot of counter space and no where to put our things. The stove is small and are is just overall small. If you aren't going to be cooking or only one person cooking it may ok but we cooked all meals and a few of us cooked so that wa hard. Also, it rained and their was a little leak downstairs, again it didn't bother us as it was in a doorway and it was very small. We also lost power and water the last day we were there but that was not a home/owner issue, it was a neighborhood thing that happened because of the storm. The owner is responsive and willing to do what he can so you enjoy your stay there. I would definitely stay here again!

Great stay

The cabin was comfortable and well equipped. The location the the river was ideal. It was too cold and water level too low to jump into the river but my kids had a great time building forts in the yard. Mariposa Grove was closed and will be until summer 2017 which was a disappointment. We ended up making the 2 hour drive to Tuoloune Groove which was worth it to see be giant Seqoias but was planning one day in the valley and one day in the wawoma area so ended up with a lot more car time than we had hoped. The drive into Yosemite valley was about 45 minutes and pretty easy. Wish the fireplace and hot tub were working that would have been ideal. Washer and dryer worked fine. Need to supply your own soap for dishwasher and hairdryer if needed. Had plenty of towels and even had beach towels and chairs for river swimming. Cabin was clean and appliance all in good working order. Would return to this property in the future.

Nice place in a perfect location!

We loved our stay here, but it was a little cramped with 10 people- there were only 2 sets of bunk beds, not 3. We just used an air mattress on the floor to sleep 2 more kids, and they all had a blast together. The kitchen looked different than the pictures show. It was small and not well stocked -(not enough dishes and cereal bowls for example), and no pantry space to store our food, and the microwave was in an odd spot above the fridge, which other reviewers commented on. We just used paper plate we had brought and got by ok. The deck was lovely, and what a view! This cabin is old and not perfect, but it’s clean and you can’t beat this location right on the river in Yosemite. You’d fall asleep to the sound of rushing water outside. The kids even went tubing and jumped into the river off the rock in the backyard. We had an amazing vacation and enjoyed our stay here a lot. A few little updates would make it even better though, and we’d love to be back!
