Two night stay
My husband and I came to see Yosemite from Ohio and spent 2 nights in this property. Everything was clean and worked out great for us. We didn’t spend an exceptional amount of time there because we were in the park most of the day but would have liked to have more time to spend seeing the area around the house.

We, being 2 families (7 people in total), had the most amazing stay at the property. The location is just divine with the river and brilliant rock jump just a stones throw away and it’s close to all the best sightseeing locations in Yosemite. Would definitely recommend!!!

Lovely space for a family
It was probably too much space for us but the location on the water and inside the park was too good to pass up. I loved the kitchen (we cooked a lot) and the back porch. It had everything we needed and more.

Family trip to Yosemite
What an absolute treasure. This property served as our jumping off point for a tour of Yosemite NP and was absolutely perfect. It was clean, quiet and the perfect sanctuary at the end of a long day exploring. Well all remember being lulled to sleep each night by the sounds of the river. Thank you!

cabin in the woods
Beautiful setting right on the Merced River within Yosemite at the south entrance. We were grateful to be within the park and not deal with the outrageously long lines to enter each morning. Owner is very helpful providing tips about shopping and accessing the park. Kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies. Basic provisions to get you started are provided. Although it is advertised as a 2 bedroom there are actually 3 bedrooms: one on main floor and two upstairs. Brand new washer/dryer located upstairs. Cozy den which looks out at the river on main floor could have used more comfortable seating, but the couch pulls out to a futon to provide additional bedspace and maybe that's why it wasn't too comfortable. Overall would gladly recommend this cabin.

Beautiful location with the sights and sounds of the full river in the “backyard”. It’s as the photos show - felt like a trusty old family getaway. Owner was quite responsive.

Beautiful home and location
My husband and I and two adult kids thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Home is lovely and clean, with beautiful view of wooded lot and river. Another huge benefit is that it's within Yosemite National Park boundaries so we didn't need a Park permit to go to Yosemite. It was wonderful to return here after a day of hiking. Kip was easy to work with and very responsive to our questions as we prepared for our trip. I also greatly appreciated that he provides everything (sheets, towels, paper towels, toilet paper). We've stayed at several upscale VRBO locations on the East Coast where none of this is provided. Loved our stay and hope to return!! Thank you so much, Kip!!

Just Perfect After a Day in Yosemite
We loved our stay here. It would be hard to top the splendor of Yosemite but coming “home” to this cabin was close. It was so peaceful and beautiful! The river rushing by the property, the brilliant stars at night, drinking our morning coffee on the deck with the river our view…wow! It doesn’t really get any better.

Peaceful cottage by the river
Nice house, comfortable bed, enjoyable deck for afternoons by the river. We were there in April, used the upstairs master, since it was low-30’s at night, and upstairs was warmer. We liked having Wawona as our base. Local shopping at Pine Tree Market served our needs. We liked the selections, but Wawona Grocery, near the Wawona Hotel, another option. Don’t overlook Wawona Hotel Restaurant, we had great meals there.

Perfect for a family getaway
This home has it all. The location inside the park makes for an easy drive to Yosemite Valley for hiking and to Badger Pass for fun in the snow. We all enjoyed the views from the home overlooking the river. It was chilly outside so we didn’t use the huge deck much but felt as if we were outside because the f the huge windows. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable

Awesome Location; Great stay
My two friends and I had a wonderful time staying at this well-appointed, cozy home tucked away in a neighborhood. We were thrilled with the Pine Tree Market just down the street - plenty of food/drink/alcohal items to round out anything you may hae forgotten, along with souviners, backpacking/camping supplies, firewood, etc. The home itself has 3 bedrooms (but description said two) but a quick communication with the owner cleared it up before booking. The home overlooks a bubbling creek nestled in a woodsy setting - so pretty and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kip for the quick responses and for your beautiful home.
