About the Area

Nestled just 4 miles inside the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is the charming and historic town of Wawona. Located at the base of Chilnualna Falls (the second highest vertical drop waterfall in Yosemite), and home to the principal trailheads into the southern Yosemite wilderness, Wawona is also the closest town to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.
Wawona has the feel of a small town but is bustling with activity! Over 160 residents, including Yosemite Park employees, live in Wawona and can be seen gathering at the town's community center, playing a pick up game of basketball at the elementary school, jogging on one of the many picturesque trails or simply walking their dogs and baby strollers through the winding residential streets. The historic Wawona Swinging Bridge boasts the best natural water slide in the Park! The historic village is filled with docents, stagecoach rides, horseback rides, and barn dances in the summer season and the Wawona Meadow Loop offers year-round riparian meadow wildlife viewing.
Wawona was known to the local Native American Miwok in their language as Pallachun (a good place to stay). It is located entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the founding of the park as a national recreation area) and is located on the South fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, on the main highway (State Route 41) from Fresno to Yosemite Valley.
Galen Clark, who helped gain preservation legislation for Mariposa Grove and what later became part of Yosemite National Park, occupied the Wawona area in 1855 and established a tourist rest and modest ranch which he later sold and made into a hotel and resort property (the Wawona Hotel). The Wawona post office was established in 1878 and was originally called Clark's Station.
The Redwoods In Yosemite has over 110 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance of everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

Great stay
Gave this unit five stars but there were some issues. The microwave over the range is not operative. Appears the owner went the cheap route with a microwave on the counter. Unfortunately, that eliminates the vent fan over the range. Please sharpen the knives.

Clean but things are getting a bit old in this VRBO: Inside couches, exterior furniture. Owners need to spruce it up. Also, Dish TV is terrible- get something better.

Great place to yay in Wawona!
Perfect for our family of 5, and as a base camp to explore Yosemite! The washer and dryer were great for us, they allowed us to minimize our packing. Definitely a return trip destination!

Dirty, old and rundown
This home is sad. You can tell it was once loved, but no more. Filthy on checkin, hair everywhere in both baths, top sheet torn and quarter sized ink stain. Mold in bathroom shower stall. Missing formica on worn countertops. Beds were lumpy. Entire house stunk each time we turned on the hvac. Suspect the filter needs to be changed and the ducts cleaned. Couches are uncomfortable and worn. Blinds throughout were filthy and broken. Light from neighbor’s floodlights poured in through the broken blinds and kept both couples up at night. No blackout drapes anywhere. Shower heads have worse than usual flow, so it takes forever to rinse hair. Notice was left saying it was against the law according to National Park Service to have a fire in the fireplace, despite claims for it and wood supplied outside. Checked with them at next outing, those restrictions were lifted 2 weeks earlier. Host or owner just did not want us using the expensive firewood. A single, thin bath towel, hand towel and washcloth per person. Had to use my washcloth as a dishrag to wipe up kitchen counters after meals. 3 rolls of tp for 5 adults for the week. 3 pods for dishwasher for 5 people for 8 days. Pick a property with another property management company. Way too expensive for the condition of home.

Nice stay Inside the park
Easy check-in, clean and had everything we needed. It was nice to already be inside the gates, so no waiting for entry into the park every morning. About a 45 minute drive to the valley. We would definitely stay again if we return to Yosemite.

Great base to explore Yosemite
This house suited all our needs while exploring Yosemite. Having 2 king bedroom suites accommodated 2 couples. The house was welcoming and a great place to relax after spending the day in the park. The beds were comfy and we slept soundly with fresh air. On the one hot day, the A/C cooled us off quickly. We loved watching the bats at sunset. We had one minor glitch in that our grill's propane tank was empty. The Redwood staff brought us a new tank within 15 minutes. That was an amazing response time. We cooked every evening meal at the house. The kitchen provided the basic amenities and we enjoyed the large kitchen table. The front desk staff provided information about the area and ideas for hiking. When we needed some items for the house (no hot pads in the drawers) they were quick to respond. The only challenge we had was arriving late at night in the dark. The house was not easily marked and we drove in circles a few times before we found it via pictures from the website. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and comfortable
We were pleased that the cabin was so clean and modern, especially inside. Big Cedar cabin has a great living area with a beautiful fireplace and a well stocked, modern kitchen. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and pleasant. A little more water pressure in the shower would have been nice. The deck is fantastic. Large and inviting. The grill was gassed up and ready to go. Sitting on the deck one morning two graceful mule deer casually strolled by. The natural effect was nice, but honestly could have been a little more tidy. The neighborhood isn't bad but nothing great. It is just under an hour's drive to get to Yosemite valley's main attractions. It's location in the park saves the hassle of getting permits for the park.

Love Yosemite
The location was great allowing us a spacious place to cook breakfast, dinner and pack lunches while spending our days in the park. The house is in a beautiful setting. The accommodations were dated and would use a bit of maintenance and a deep clean. That being said we would rent again as is!

Nice spacious cabin!
The cabin gave us all it promised. It was spacious and comfortable. We had two large bedrooms and a nice size living room and kitchen dining area. We wished we had more time to spend in it and Yosemite.

Great location, lots of beds, well-equipped kitchen!
This was a convenient property for our whole family. Loved the A/C, washer dryer, dishwasher. The property had a great deck with a wonderful view. It was about 30 minutes to the valley floor. The house had everything we needed including wifi and a nearby convenience store. There were several nice hikes right down the street. I would return to this property if we go back to Yosemite!
