The main floor has a full-size washer and dryer.

About the Area
Nestled just 4 miles inside the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is the charming and historic town of Wawona. Located at the base of Chilnualna Falls (the second highest vertical drop waterfall in Yosemite), and home to the principal trailheads into the southern Yosemite wilderness, Wawona is also the closest town to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.
Wawona has the feel of a small town but is bustling with activity! Over 160 residents, including Yosemite Park employees, live in Wawona and can be seen gathering at the town's community center, playing a pickup game of basketball at the elementary school, jogging on one of the many picturesque trails, or simply walking their dogs and baby strollers through the winding residential streets. The historic Wawona Swinging Bridge boasts the best natural water slide in the Park! The historic village is filled with docents, stagecoach rides, horseback rides, and barn dances in the summer season and the Wawona Meadow Loop offers year round riparian meadow wildlife viewing.
Wawona was known to the local Native American Miwok in their language as Pallachun (a good place to stay). It is located entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the founding of the park as a national recreation area) and is located on the South fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, on the main highway (State Route 41) from Fresno to Yosemite Valley.
Galen Clark, who helped gain preservation legislation for Mariposa Grove and what later became part of Yosemite National Park, occupied the Wawona area in 1855 and established a tourist rest and modest ranch which he later sold and made into a hotel and resort property (the Wawona Hotel). The Wawona post office was established in 1878 and was originally called Clark's Station.
The Redwoods In Yosemite has over 120 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance to everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!
You can get extra towels as you need them from the front desk. Go downstairs through the door and you will see shelves on the left with clean towels.
Where can I check the road conditions?
Inside the park, your best resource for road conditions information is by calling 209/372-0200 (press 1 then 1) for the most up-to-date conditions or by visiting this web page: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/conditions.htm
How fast is the Wifi?
All of our cabins provide WIFI. A password is required on all networks. There is also a Wi-Fi hotspot located in our office. If our office is closed, you are more than welcome to sit outside and use it. For more info on the speed and the connectivity of our connection please visit this page: https://redwoodsinyosemite.com/internet-and-data/
Are there restaurants nearby?
The nearest restaurant is in Fish Camp at Tenaya Lodge, a 10-15 min. drive.There are restaurants in Yosemite Valley (North), a 45-minute drive, and Oakhurst (South), a 30-minute drive.
Where is the nearest gas station?
There are only three gas stations located inside Yosemite National Park. One is approximately 2 miles from our office, another is in Crane Flat, and the third is in Tuolumne Meadows. We recommend getting gas in Oakhurst because it is less expensive than in the park. The Wawona gas station is located by the Post Office and Wawona General Store on Forest Dr and Highway 41..
Where can I go swimming?
Swinging Bridge, At the end of River Road and across from the school.
Where are EV stations?
At The Redwoods, we have two Chargepoint Level 2 chargers with J1772 plugs at our central office on 8038 Chilnualna Falls Road in Wawona. Besides The Redwoods charger, there are multiple Rivian chargers at the Wawona General Store. Certain Redwoods cabins also have chargers. We recommend bringing a EV charging adaptor..
Can I burn outdoors, pitch a tent, or camp outside?

We were a big crowd of 17, and the house worked very well for all of us. The kitchen was very well equipped, and there were enough rooms for everyone. When we arrived, we didn't have enough towels, though, and there was no shampoo or body wash. I guess we didn't read the amenities well enough, so good to know. It was also very easy to get new towels at the office nearby. The best was the location, where you can do beautiful walks just from the house and go swimming in the pond! I would definitely come back.

It was fantastic. What a wonderful place and little community.
We got married at Glacier Point and had our reception at The Redwoods Event Center. Everything was perfect!
Again, fantastic. Thank you for accommodating our special day and all of our families. What a lovely place, and we cannot wait to come back and stay again.

My research group and I spent 3 days for a lab retreat. The Lodge was perfect, plenty of beds, plenty of room for everyone's privacy, a big common space for dinner and discussing, playing board games and chatting about science. Everything was easy (check in, check out) and in good conditions. Will recommend!

There were 10 of us and we loved the house. The kitchen and living area are perfect for a large group. And the bedrooms clustered in three different wings of the home made it easy to get some privacy and good sleep. The kitchen is well stocked. All of us commented repeatedly on how much we loved the house. Clean and comfortable with everything you need for a perfect stay. Check-in and check out was easy. Everything went according to plan.

The cabin was very roomy! It was perfect for our 4 families with 8 adults and 6 kids! It was very well equipped. I would say that we could have used more cabinet space for food with 4 families but everything worked out and everyone enjoyed their stay. We played chess and other games as well as putting together a few puzzles. The river was close so lots of water time! Not far from the Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove!

My family and I, a total of 17 people, love to vacation together and this year we wanted to try Yosemite. This place was amazing, a bib space for all of us to cook and hang out together, along with a room for everyone to enjoy their privacy. The kids loved playing games inside and exploring outside. This place was very clean. The small general market is within walking distance. And the hike to swinging bridge and the swimming hole was about a 25 minute walk. We will stay in this cabin when we visit again.

We had a great stay at the Legacy. There were 18 of them for a family gathering. There were enough beds and space for cooking, eating, and relaxing. The deck and the grill were great. The location was convenient. Being inside the park was a plus because you could skip the long lines at the gate. We enjoyed swimming at the swinging brides and the swimming hole across the street from the school. It was great to have a washer and dryer and A/C as it was very warm during the day.

Great location and property. Right inside of Yosemite park and close to attractions like Mariposa Grove and walking distance to Chilnualna Falls. The house was well stocked, clean and rooms were comfortable with enough beds for 18 people. Large kitchen and plenty of counter space. Great deck for hanging out and eating.

If you have a large group, this is the cabin for you! We had 7 adults and 3 teenagers, and 2 children in this cabin for a family reunion and there was plenty of room, plenty of beds, and plenty of towels! It's clean, the kitchen is VERY well stocked, internet connection works, and is in a beautiful location. It's located inside the park, about an hour from Yosemite Valley. FYI, you do need to bring your own toiletries as soap was the only thing provided in the bathrooms, and your own laundry soap if you plan to do laundry while there. Other than that, everything you could possibly need is there. We will definitely be coming back in the future! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Home - Great Management Company
There is no better way to recharge your batteries than by connecting with nature. This home, nestled in the midst of Yosemite National Park is large (many bedrooms and bathrooms), clean, and has a nice recently renovated modern kitchen. The scenery is magical and the accommodations are great.

Our group of 18 persons, enjoyed our stay at your cabin. It was adequately appointed, with enough dishes, glasses, pots and pans to meet our needs. The readily available firewood was a bonus and kept the fire going in the nice oversized fireplace. The remodeled kitchen offered ample room to work in, The appliances were nice and in good working condition. There were plenty of games, puzzles, and card to entertain our group in the evenings. We highly recommend this cabin to family's. We hope to come back soon. Thank you!

This location worked out very well for me and my extended family of 13. Everyone had privacy, comfortable beds, room for fun and for eating our meals. The yard surrounding and deck also were fun places for activities. I was sorry we had only a weekend to spend there, but every minute we were awake was enjoyable, both at the cabin and at the park. Thanks for the way things were handled.
