This is a great location to stay, and is approximately 45 mins drive to the Park. It certainly would be helpful especially during the peak season. The house was absolutely amazing and very spacious to accommodate our extended family of 8. It was very clean and stocked with enough supplies even for a cold weather we experienced during our recent stay. There's a convenience store close by, and it's helpful if you miss something. Highly recommended for cleanliness and homely feel, prompt communication, and support.
Kitchen well equipped. Well represented in pictures. All rooms had heated blankets available which was a nice touch. Good location to go to different points in the park.
We really enjoyed the stay, especially after finding the swimming hole near the swinging bridge! The house could use some upgrades, especially in the kitchen, but it was nice to have many bathrooms and beds! Would recommend, especially since there seems to be a limited supply of home rentals within the park. It is quite the drive to/from the valley, but a nice place to stay!
Excellent location inside the park, very quite with good hiking routes directly from the home. Swinging bridge is about 1 mile away. House well setup with a welcome package. Only issue we had was the blinds in one of the rooms where not there but a good alarm to get up when the sun raises. Google maps takes you to behind the home so you will need to navigate your way to the front door. Ample parking for 2 vehicles.
Overall a pretty nice place. The neighborhood is a few modern and some older houses built in a rarely allowed spot - within a forest right on the southern edge of Yosemite. Beds were comfortable, place is nice so if you want to be in Yosemite, in your own place, this is it.
Beautiful & comfortable stay for 3 generations IN Yosemite
Our party consisted of children as young as 2 to grandparents. The stay was super comfortable for everyone and having a two floor bedroom setup was very convenient. 10/10 would recommend.
The property was great we did enjoy the staying it was quiet and enjoyed the surrounding I will recommend this place to people to look at I love it next year I would love to book this place again
This is a great property inside Yosemite, just a mile away from Mariposa Grove. The setting is peaceful and the accommodations are excellent. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The house it's beautiful and in a great location! I'll definitely stay there again. I just need to mention two things that in my opinion will make this house the best place to stay. One, it would it be nice to have extra fans since it was a bit hot at night. Second it would it be nice to be able to use the garage to put the luggage and all our items in. Since we were a big group, we felt very squeeze in the living room with all the items we carried.
This was the perfect place for our family to stay while visiting Yosemite. The extra details, directions and communication prior to arriving were extremely helpful.
We loved this cabin. It was clean and newer, and very comfortable. We even used the Traeger for tri-tip. Easy access to Yosemite Valley. Will stay here again.
Amazing location and really lovely home. Very clean, well layed out, and beautiful artwork. Tharea inside the park. Great river and amazing waterfall hike nearby at the end of the road too.
We enjoyed the large tables off the kitchen and on the deck that seated 7 of us easily. The traeger grill was excellent and cooked the juiciest brats. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms had heat lights if needed in the early morning. Everything was clean and in working order. Only suggestion would be to mount the TV in the living room lower. We had to slide the furniture back in order to watch a movie comfortably. The location inside the park in Wawona was great for visiting Mariposa Grove just south of us and Yosemite Valley to the north. We also discovered a great little trail along the river with a swinging bridge and large rock formations that was at the end of our road with a nice parking lot.
Good location, about 50 minutes to the Yosemite Valley. Plenty of room for 6 adults. The kitchen was a bit crowded when cooking and ants would come within minutes if you left anything in the sink. The water and ice maker in the fridge did not work. Beds were very soft and pillows were low quality, I recommend brining your own pillow. We also experienced ants is the showers. Overall a good place and I would stay again.
Very nice, upgraded property with everything we needed
Loved our stay here and would hope to return in the future. Modern amenities and appliances and very clean. Beautiful surroundings and convenient area as well. Thanks Gabriela!
