Older house, but loads of fun for the whole family. Great communication with the owner, and plenty of supplies around to have a great trip. Location is an excellent way to get inside the Yosemite gates and save at least 30 minutes (and probably more) of driving from the south. We loved all of the vintage items throughout the house. The internet did drop to very low speed (below 10mbps) toward the end of the stay due to ATT issues, so keep that in mind if you plan to work or stream a lot of video. Having a washer and dryer was a key feature for us. We were on a multi-stop trip, so being able to do laundry in the evenings without waiting for it at a laundromat was a time saver. If we were to make the trip again, I'll definitely be looking at this cabin first!

Our family of 2 adults and 3 kids (5, 8, 11) loved our stay at Joseph’s home. It had all of the comforts of home, space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing, and fun games and entertainment to bring us back together. The beds were comfortable and little extras were provided (condiments, ample cleaning supplies, toys, books, games). My husband loved that the grill was pristine and there was propane provided for grilling out. My kids loved the proximity to the swimming hole near swinging bridge, and I enjoyed the peaceful back patio. Joseph is a knowledgeable, communicative, and helpful host. It was a pleasure interacting with an independent host and not a large property management company. We would absolutely return to this home if given the opportunity. Thank you, Joseph!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. This was our first ever visit to Yosemite, and this was a perfect place to meet our needs. We brought our 18 and 20 yo kids with us, and we had plenty of room and lots to look at. We cooked almost all our meals in the well stocked kitchen and spent some time perusing all the collections. We truly felt like we were visiting family at their home. It was convenient to be inside the park and super close to the Mariposa Grove. It was generally an hour to Yosemite Valley or Glacier Point, which was a favorite spot! The property manager was very responsive to the few questions we had. I would absolutely stay here again if I return to Yosemite. Thank you!

What a fun and interesting place to stay. Our kids absolutely loved staying in this cabin and so did we. We enjoyed the well-stocked amenities that made our stay easy and seamless, and the huge back porch was great in the mornings and evenings for relaxing outdoors - we even saw a large mule deer one morning in the backyard. We would love to stay here again for our next trip to Yosemite.

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.
