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.

Great cabin and great location

We’ve stayed here many times and love it!! Cabin layout is perfect. Every convenience is provided with clear instructions on how to use everything. There are safety features also, such as active extinguisher in the kitchen. Couldn’t ask for a better host or more interesting cabin.

Yosemite was unbelievable and then to come back to such a comfortable gun place was icing on the cake. Loved the owners collections and the place was well equipped for children. I plan to come back at some point with my grandkids.

Good size house in a good location

The house has four bedrooms, which is great. The only negative being that our adult sons were too tall (6'6") to fit on the kid's beds that were in two of the rooms, so they shared one of the larger beds. The house is full of interesting collectibles, but didn't feel cluttered to us and we're minimalists. As wildlife photographers we thought the old cameras were really neat. The house is charming. Some other reviews mentioned it needs updating. The flooring and some of the furniture are dated, but clean and well loved. The washer and dryer were a blessing while we were there. We also appreciated being so close to a camp store with supplies. Lots of movies and games if that's your thing. Overall it was a great place for us to stay and enjoy Yosemite.

Spacious, Clean and Excellent for a large group!

The cabin was excellent and we enjoyed our short stay there. We were a little worried that it would be hard to find the cabin given there was no network and since there was a mention of google maps not listing the cabin correctly in the instruction PDF shared before. (Spoiler alert, it is listed correctly in google now). The cabin was a very spacious, with a lot of items to spare time on if you are a large group or a group with kids. The location of this cabin is also quite convenient,as it is in Wawona, just two miles away from Wawona road that goes into Yosemite Valley and under 6 miles from the Mariposa grove welcome centre. There is about an hour drive from the cabin to main attractions in the valley, but the drive along the road is enjoyable.

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.

Nostalgic

The house is exactly as pictured. Collectibles abound, very nostalgic looking around at all the vintage collections. The table was set and ready for use, but we weren’t sure how long the dishes had been sitting out. There were notes taped up everywhere with directions for everything ( which switches ran which things) The TV’s with all the devices and remotes was a little confusing, but we weren’t there to watch TV so didn’t affect us. Loved having washer and dryer to take care of our dirty laundry. Host was very friendly and communicative with information, expectations and answering questions. This home had everything we needed for our stay in Yosemite.

We loved our stay! The cabin is very well stocked and filled with interesting collections. The space works well for a larger group, with separated bedrooms, open living space and a big deck. The hosts are very nice ans responsive. And, of course, you can’t beat the location! We hope to come back!

A Family Friendly Cabin in great location

My husband and I took our 3 young adult kids to this well appointed cabin for there nights and 4 days. The property is fantastic in it's functionality for our needs. Our kids are aged 22, 19 and 16. There were 2 bedrooms on each side of the cabin with a bedroom in the middle of each. The middle of the cabin was living and kitchen. There was a huge deck on the back of the cabin. There are tons of games and activities available at the cabin. Because the owners are antique collectors, I would be cautious about having young children there because there are many items around that would be enticing for little fingers. The cabin is older and the decor could benefit from some updating. But all of our needs were met, it was clean, and we were so grateful for such a safe location and the amount of room it gave our family.

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.
