About this property

Inside Yosemite National Park near Wawona Village, California, USA. Sleeps 6.

Our family built this home in the 80s and it has been the gathering spot for many fun and relaxing trips with family and friends. We love this location where we enjoy the beauty of Yosemite without the crowds and tour buses. We continue to use the home so you'll find the house is stocked with kitchenware, basic bath needs, books, games, DVD movies, and old time personal affects.

Single story, 2 full bathrooms, living room, dining room, laundry room, full kitchen and kitchen island/breakfast bar, front and rear porches, driveway parking.

The house features large front and back porches with views of trees and a meadow. The front and back doors have camera door bells. The front door enters to a large living room with wood burning stove followed by a full kitchen and dining room, all with great windows. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on either side of the living room. With driveway space for three vehicles and bedrooms separated by large living space, this house is great for a couples trip, multiple family or friend groups, and families who desire private beds and baths. The house has laundry washer and dryer, dishwasher, heating and air conditioning, satellite TVs, WiFi Internet, and telephone.

Check in after 4pm and check out before 11am. Due to covid cleaning we need more time to clean the house and rugs. No Pets without permission.

Awesome

Decided to upgrade to a cabin instead of camping this year. Cabin was just like home, and very well kept. My friend couldn't make it, so I had the place to myself. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood within the park. There was food and LOTS of condiments. Everything in the cabin worked perfectly. Thanks Joe and Diane!

A Classic Cabin

This cabin is a timeless classic. Lots of fun collectibles inside to enjoy and admire. It has a good location near some fun swimming holes in Wawona. We also enjoyed walking around the golf course and to nearby waterfalls. The cabin has a nice deck with a grill and was very clean upon check in. The host was very helpful and proactive with communication. The kitchen and entire cabin was very well stocked.

Perfect respite

After staying in hotels for days prior this was a welcome respite . Plenty of room to spread out and well equipped kitchen. The kids enjoyed the lively decor and adults enjoyed the quiet location . It was away from the fray of the valley and very close to the Sequoia’s as well as some lovely local hiking trails iand swimming holes We note there are several markets near by but they all close at 8 so be sure to grab what you need by then. We would love to return one day .

Wonderful Location

The home was perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the owner Joseph was very informative. Terrific location for viewing Mariposa Grove - about 5 minutes away and there are a few really great hikes right from the subdivision area to see waterfalls. The home is within the park so traffic wasn't an issue - though the valley is still a ways away. The cabin kitchen had everything needed to cook all meals. Everything was perfect for our needs.

Everything you need and more

Stayed with our teen daughters and their friends. The place is a 70's time capsule that has enough entertainment to sustain any snowed in vaca and literally everything you could need! We had perfect weather and spent most of the time in the valley, but really enjoyed all the cabin had to offer. My favorite was all the collectibles; the girls really enjoyed the mini pool table; We all enjoyed the deer grazing out back and not having to re-enter the park each morning!

Retro cabin in paradise

The cabin is well equipped and decorated with memorabilia from the 50’s and 60’s. I recognized so much from my youth…my teenage granddaughters were shocked hear me identify people and things they never heard of. Truly a step back in time. We were able to traverse many Yosemite highlights from this location in Wawona from within the NP.

Location

Location in the park is what we wanted and fantastic. Started off bad as house had not been cleaned from previous group. Interior decor is quite overwhelming. And, host has exterior surveillance cameras that were not disclosed in as required by VRBO policies. He clearly watches them regularly which was more than a bit creepy.

About the host

Hosted by Local Manager: Ms. Diane Martin

Host profile image
The owners built this cabin round 1980s. Most of the cabins in the area can be rented. Best time to go to Yosemite is early spring when there is water running over the water falls. Another good time is in the Fall before any snow builds up on the roads.

Why they chose this property

The golf coarse is closed 2022. Wawona hotel is partially open 2021 for work. No car gas in the ynp valley. chevron station in Wawona only. The big trees may be open in the summer. glacier point road to be worked on in 2022.

What makes this property unique

Our family loves sharing the oohs and ahhs of Yosemite National Park with first-time visitors. The world-wide popularity of the breathtaking park can make lodging close to the sites hard to secure. Yosemite does not have as many camp sites as it did in the past and hotel rooms are limited and expensive. There are some options along the rivers and in the Yosemite Valley area. Renting a cabin in Wawona is a unique opportunity to enjoy the park with time to yourself and your family away from the crowds of Yosemite Valley. Renting in Wawona is also a great idea for staging before or after overnight camping or backcountry camping within the park. Over night hiking can be done with a hiking permit from the Wawona ranger station or the Hotel Museum.
