Out family loved staying in this cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved the jumping rock just outside the cabin, and we loved having a grocery store within walking distance!

My family loved the sound of the running river, paddling in the water and hiking through the trees. House was exactly as it was described, perfect for a group of 5. Beautiful view from deck. Questions answered quickly. Definitely would recommend this place to stay. From Wisconsin and England

Great stay! Beautiful location

Loved our stay! It was perfect for our family and exactly what we were looking for. The views were beautiful, and the kids loved playing in the river (and jumping rock!) behind the house. It was the perfect thing to do after hiking during the day, that was both fun and low key. Kip was also very responsive and helpful with the communication. Highly recommend!

The cabin was as advertised! It was perfect for our family. We loved the deck and river behind. It was warm, but it really cooled off in the evening. It was very close to Mariposa grove and about 45 50 minutes to the valley. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Yosemite!

Amazing place!

We had a great stay. The place is amazing, so quaint, right on the river and less than an hour from the valley. It exceeded our expectations all the way around. Very relaxing! We had everything we needed for our extended family of five to cook meals in and relax. Great hikes nearby!

Wawona/Yosemite Cabin

Beautiful location, peaceful, quiet and close to the South fork of the Merced River. Cabin was super nice and clean. The back deck was used a lot with a gorgeous view of the river. Everything went smooth with booking and check out.

Wawona Yosemite Visit

This property is ideally located with an amazing view of the river from the back deck. The local market store is a 3 minute walk and you’re right in the national park. We loved the wood burning stove which kept the house toasty. Everything you could need was there. This is a great place to relax and enjoy nature.
