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 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 of everything that Wawona has to offer, and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!
At the Front Office downstairs, there are 3 washer and 3 dryers, no coins are needed just bring your own detergent and softener.
Is the tap water drinkable?
Yes
Is the tap water drinkable?
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 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

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..

Second time stay, won't be our last
This place is awesome. So nice, so quaint. Perfect weekend getaway to restore your mental health with nature and fresh air. The house is fully stocked with cooking equipment, and the wood-burning fireplace adds so much to the cabin experience.

We enjoyed the comfortable cozy cabin, with its deck amid the forest community & its quiet location. The Redwoods crew was welcoming, friendly & quick to respond to our request for additional linens for the futon. I'd book there again - it's an off the beaten path retreat in Yosemite.

Nice little cabin in the woods. We loved that we were close to the river as it was very hot during the day.

This rustic little cabin met my needs for a nice stay inside the park. All the snow melt meant I could easily hear the Merced River from the cabin. The river and lesser-visited but powerful Chilnualna Falls are an easy walk from the cabin. A short moderate climb to the upper cascades of the lower falls will not fail to impress. Wawona residents are very friendly and the community is full of wildlife. I loved stargazing every night from the lounge chair on the deck and mornings with Stellar Jays, squirrels, tiny lizards, and nesting sharp-shinned hawks. There were some issues with the cabin. I reported the failure of several windows to latch and lock, which property management rectified immediately. Management was very helpful, friendly, and responsive! The Redwoods is across the river from the Wawona Hotel, a 3-mile meadow loop, store, gas, library, and Pioneer Museum. Be sure to chat with the only NPS ranger/stagecoach driver, Buckshot, to learn all about this fascinating history. 10 min to Mariposa Grove and a scenic 25 min drive to Tunnel View on your descent to the Valley. It was a wonderful vacation.

Cabin 18 is just as advertised and you will find the majority of comments accurately set expectations. It is a very small and charming cabin. Comfortable for and perhaps a slight squeeze for three. The cleaning crew does a really good job. No dirt, hair, bugs, etc., and the bedding, sheets, and linens were all fresh. Cleanliness is all-important when you travel. The heater works great in the coldest of weather. The gas BBQ is new and clean. There is plenty of parking and deck space. We had a wonderful time.

This little cabin was conveniently located inside Yosemite national park. About 30-40 mins from Yosemite valley. Our stay was comfortable for 2, 4 people might be tight but could work.

We came to stay in your sweet little cabin after a holiday that started in LA and San Francisco. Our journey began all the way in Sydney Australia our home. My husband and our little boy enjoyed our stay. What a lovely treat to stay in nature after a long holiday surrounded by people in cities theme parks. Our first day we even saw a bobcat who has just caught a squirrel on our hike to Mirror Lake! Sadly we did not see any bears! I guess we just will have to come back. Thank you so much for sharing your sweet little cabin with us!

We decided to come to Yosemite of our three-week honeymoon, and fell in live with your cabin while searching on-line. We were so happy when we arrived and felt right at home. The Valley floor was very busy during our trips to the valley and it was wonderful to be able to come back to the cabin and grill a real meal. The deck was nice to sit and relax after swimming in the river right down the road. Thank you for sharing your little perfect cozy cabin.

Hi my name is Anthony and me and my family stayed in your cabin. I had a lot of fun hiking and seeing all the waterfalls. I would say that the upper falls was the hardest to hike. The light went out one night and I didn't mind, I collected the wood from wood pile and we made a nice fire. I wish we could have stayed longer. But off to the next adventure. Date of Stay: May 2018

Two nights was not enough at cabin 18. We came for my 50th birthday... wished we could have stayed until I was 51. Cooking all of our meals here was great - as was the fireplace. The personal touches add ti the warmth & coziness of the cabin. We really love the rustic interior - the dark wood, sofa sold us on the place when we were searching online.

It is my first time here & it was great. It was also so much fun being this close to nature and seeing all the animals. We brought our 7 year old and the board games were a nice substitution for a TV. The trip allowed me to slow down & appreciate the things we over look in our fast paced world. it was so nice to just sit out on the deck and do nothing. We are already making plans to come back.

Wonderful New Beginning
by Ron & Nina
5/5
In April of 73', my husband and I spent our honeymoon in this very cottage. When we arrived in Wawona, we were heart broken to find out we'd been duped and were booked into a trailer! Next day we rode around on our bikes and discovered this lovely place. There was vacancy and all was well. A few years later we came with another couple and friend Katie had her sweater ripped in two when she ran out of food for an angry antlered deer! No, we no longer feed the animals! So glad to find this sweet cabin still remains.

This was our 1st trip to Yosemite and it met all our expectations! Coming "home"to your cabin-in-the-woods after hiking all day was a joy. One reason we came here was to escape from Florida heat heat humidity. On my "Bucket List" was to see a bear which we did on the Meadow Loop Trail by the gold coarse - It was HUGE! I don't know who was more surprised with the close encounter, the bear or us! Hopefully someday we will return to The Redwoods. This is a wonderful community.

I can't wait until all the cabins have internet, but keep theTV's out (how silly, huh?). One thing I found bothersome this time around was to note that the kitchen is BETTER equipped than any other rental I've encountered, but, the only basic cooking supplies provided were salt and pepper. I would think that a bit more---spices, oil, and wrapping supplies---foil, plastic wrap would make sense. At the same time I suppose that some guest steal everything not locked down, which is why the kitchen is so lightly provisioned, if so well stocked. But, as far as the cabin goes, as they said in the movie "Don't change a thing!" I love the period rusticity of 18.
