This was the perfect spot for my family to unwind, make dinner, and play cards after hiking. The balcony is beautiful and spacious. There is a charming market close by for groceries, souvenirs and essentials. We ate at a delicious restaurant close by called Jackalopes. It was great staying inside the park.

Rivers Edge was a perfect location to celebrate my mom’s 97th birthday! It supplied every amenity you could think of! Very close to Chilnualna falls. It is about an hour to Yosemite Valley and Glacier Point and 4 miles to see giant grizzly in the park it was worth the drive!

We loved the house and the location. The host was very responsive when the smoke detectors started beeping because of low batteries. There was a little bit of mice activity, but that is evidently very common in the area.

The house was older but clean and had everything we needed. The fireplace inside and the fire pit, along with the sound of the river below were the features we enjoyed the most. I would stay here again. It took an hour to get into Yosemite Valley but that was not a problem.

Peaceful home, gorgeous location

We loved our stay. The communication was good, house looked like the photos, location was amazing and it was well equipped. We'll book it again. The house does need some maintenance though. Many of the light switches are fiddly and in both upstairs rooms one of the bedside lights don't work. Many of the sliding door latches don't hold and the thumbscrew on the front door key panel just turns without catching. The blinds upstairs don't open or close well either and the pillows on the bedside lights are like trying to sleep on a ball with no alternative options. A morning with a handyman and a few alternative pillows should sort it all out though.

We loved loved loved this place! It’s so beautiful, so peaceful. The lower deck looks out over a little stream and beautiful trees. There is a neighbor to the right, but no one to the left, so it feels pretty private. The hosts were great about checking in with us several times to make sure everything was ok, and very responsive when we had questions. Another review described it as a “bucket list “ kind of place, and we agree!

Great house, great location

10 adults stayed there for 3 nights. The deck and living room were great place to gather in the mornings and evenings. The house is in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds of the valley. The kids saw a mountain lion by the trailhead for the waterfall not far from the house.

We had three glorious nights here. The fire pit, the outdoor bbq and the spacious living space was so enjoyable. The sound of the river going lulled us to sleep every night. All of us had a great time. Definitely planning to return.

Thank you very much Frank! You all picked a great time to visit, as the river had plenty of snowmelt to keep it running high at that time. We look forward to hosting you again in the near future.

The rushing river outside was the perfect background music to a wonderful stay! Tucked away down a long driveway this home felt isolated and serene, set right up against a dramatic view of the river. The living room had plenty of space for family gameplay. There was lots of room to spread out throughout the home. Everything is rustic, in keeping with the general vibe of Yosemite, and stocked with what we needed for a week stay. I loved that there was a heater built into the upstairs bathroom. It made showering the kids much more cozy. Hosts were kind and communicative. I had to leave the cabin to get cell service to text them, but that is pretty standard across Wawona, just be prepared. Grocery and gas are very accessible. Nearby trails too without having to drive. A perfect location for a memorable stay in Yosemite.

Quick stay in Yosemite

This was such a lovely place to stay in the park during our family holiday. There were only four of us but we can imagine how a large family could gather here for some very special times. The house was very well equipped and the owners have been very generous in what is provided. Although there are other houses nearby, when sat on the balconies it was easy to just think there was no-one else around. There is even a generator for when the local power is disrupted (which it was when we were there) but we didn't even notice. A very special place to stay - thank you!

It’s a beautiful location. Staff were very easy to reach and quick to respond. However it felt not very clean. Dirt and dust on stairs, dirt oven, stained rug and shabby wood work.

Hi Peggy, we’re glad you enjoyed the location and our responsive team. That said, we were disappointed by your review, especially considering the number of issues raised during your stay that ultimately turned out to be unfounded. You reported a dish breaking in the oven while cooking and insisted we send someone immediately, which meant a 20 mile drive into Yosemite National Park, through weekend traffic and entrance lines. Our housekeeper went out of their way to assist, only to find they were being asked to clean up the result of your own accident. There wasn’t so much as a thank you for that effort. You also claimed a lamp wasn’t working, only to later determine it was controlled by a wall switch, one you admitted you hadn’t even tried. Additionally, you requested a last-minute booking change and early check-in, which we couldn’t accommodate due to a same-day turnover. We work hard to provide a high level of service in a remote and challenging environment, and we do our best to support all guests, but that depends on mutual respect and reasonable expectations. We wish you well in your future travels.

Great Cabin in Yosemite

This cabin was a great place for our base of operations in Yosemite National Park! Our group of 8 people had plenty of room to spread out. Our favorite place to have our morning coffee was on the spacious deck with a beautiful view of the forest and the sound of the river below. The house is very close to the Swinging Bridge trail, which has a great swimming hole on the river. Our visit was in mid-July and it was hot, which made it difficult for the upstairs to stay cool, but that didn't deter from the great time we had.

Very pleasant in a good setting

Enjoyed our stay. Suggestions: twin beds were uncomfortable. We bought coffee filters but left them since we don't use that type at home. The A/C did not work upstairs. The water pressure was great. The stovetop is not working correctly with two of them not functioning at all.

Thank you very much for the feedback Judy! We will have our team check out the AC asap. The downstairs runs off the same as the upstairs, so perhaps the vents upstairs were closed off? Regardless, we will get this checked out immediately, along with the stovetop. We appreciate the feedback about the twin beds, and will see if we can make them more comfortable. We hope to host you again sometime in the near future!

Great property!

Well equiped, as beautiful as it looked in the pictures. We had a few issues with things not working, breakers tripping, etc, and hosts were quick to answer when we reached out. Note if it matters to you - river is far below property and not accessible at that point. In the fall when water is low, it was hard to even see. There is a great swinging bridge trail that gets you to places you could access the river. Note
