About this property

Ahwahnichi Lodge

From the Main entry, there is a window seat nook allowing a view of the woods or a place to read a good book. In the vaulted living room, a cheery fireplace lights the comfortable decor which connects to the wood-floored dining room. The wooden cabinetry and leaded doors tell of an era dedicated to tasteful wood trim and skilled detail. The flow-through kitchen has countertops selected to resemble the speckled granite so common in Yosemite. A fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and other amenities allow dining on the adjoining deck or inside in the distinctive window alcove. Downstairs is the family room with a futon and another fireplace. There is a TV/DVD, for movie view, (sorry no Satellite). Two bedrooms with a queen bed in the first bedroom, and a full & twin size bed in the second bedroom. Each bedroom has a three-window alcove and a rounded window seat; perfect for viewing the resplendent outdoors. The family room is ready for jigsaw puzzles or games by the fire and includes a mini-bar for that late-night snack of smores. Fabrics in the house interweave the Indian, Asian, and Arts and Crafts themes popular in Yosemite during that era.



There are two and 1/2 bathrooms, one on each floor, tiled with an Indian theme and arts and craft wood shelving. Upstairs is the romantic master bedroom hideaway with its vintage Morris chair and the warm glow of art glass lanterns. The Master bedroom has a king-size bed, its own nook for reading, as well as its own deck, to catch a vista view of the sunset peeking through the sugar pines and spruce trees. With its refined, clean lines, this house is a place to treasure Yosemite. This cabin reflects an era when we had time to think, walk in the woods or be with the people that we care about. Turn off the telephone, leave the computer in its bag and enjoy a simpler world at Ahwahnichi Lodge.
There are 3 parking spots over the summer months, and 2 over the winter months.

Great Place in Yosemite West!
Very clean and up-to-date furnishings. 20 minutes from the valley, 15 minutes from Badger Pass Ski Area, and 25 minutes from Wawona Hotel area. No Wi-Fi or TV and basically no cell service, so if that’s a big deal, I’d consider somewhere else. Overall, very happy with our vacation and lodging.

Beautiful home. Well equipped kitchen. Perfect location for enjoying all of Yosemite.
Received prompt responses from management regarding property questions prior to arrival. Only disappointment was that main fire place was not working and a sign "not use" was left on fireplace. Overall was a positive experience and will not hesitate to use again.

Pretty nice
Overall, the finish and cleanliness of this property won me over big-time and I was regretting leaving it. The one thing that stood out is that the kitchen floor is some kind of cork that is warping and needs to be replaced. This is in stark contrast to the classy appointments throughout the rest of the home. This was the only room I didn't feel comfortable in, especially in socks. -Kitchen trash under the counter would be nice (there is a trash bin in the pantry/laundry room). And shower soap would be nice, but it clearly states these are not provided. These are very minor issues. There is a sign just inside the very bottom (this is where you enter, not the middle floor) asking people to remove their shoes. Other than the very bottom stairs and kitchen, the floor is very nice so I can see why they did this. The house actually runs pretty warm (hydroponic floors?), so be sure to check those thermostats at night, there is one in each room. There are plenty of other houses in close proximity, but that's normal in Yosemite West. The trees block any full view of the sunset, but it's still nice to look out the window or be on the deck. Everyone liked it and was sad to leave.

Wonderful, yet disappointing
The location was excellent. The property-outstanding. Yet, it had little of a welcoming vacation property feel, considering the location and the rental rate. It could use some TLC outside. The windows were dirty and there were thick cobwebs around them. A few amenities would have been nice to have. A small cooler would be advised. You fly in, drive 3+ hours and no cooler for picnic lunches in the park. An ice maker- as the closest store is 14 miles of crooked road and no cooler to bring it back in. 2 trays? A DVD player was provided, but you had go to the rental office office (not easy to find) before close to pick out one. No cable, satellite, WiFi.- ok with me, but not with others in the party. I am sure it is expensive, but don’t write you can’t get it when there were 3 homes in view with satellite. If you expect people to play games, please have more than 4 or 5 and puzzles. At least 1 full deck of cards is minimal. Shampoo,conditioner, and lotion (basic hotel amenities) would be appropriate- again trying not to pack much. I have stayed in many vacation homes for over 20 years, and this was by far the barest.
