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 history 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 Miwok Native Americans 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 110 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
Where can I get extra towels?
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
How fast is the Wifi?

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..

Very good accommodation in Yosemite Park. Quiet, 55 minutes from Yosemite Valley, but with many possibilities nearby.
Located in the park, no traffic jams in the morning to get to the various sites. We were missing sheets on the first day, but they were brought to us within 10 minutes.
Well equipped. Suitable for people looking for a quiet place.

We have been going to Wawona for 40 years and are very familiar with the Redwood Cabins. This was a great cabin for our family of four. The weather was perfect, and we were able to go to Badger and ski for the day. The staff was always very nice. We loved our stay.

Our first trip to Yosemite and this cabin accommodated the four of us perfectly. The kids loved running around the deck and yard. The shower was nice with a good amount of pressure. We made our kids their first s'mores over the BBQ. Yosemite is amazing and this location is excellent for vacations. Thank you.

A Great Decision
by The
5/5
When planning our trip to Yosemite, where to stay was a difficult one, all the hotels in the valley were either booked up or way over our price range, we looked at the camping option but frankly we just didn't want to rough it. Then we happened upon the Redwoods in Yosemite website and after much deliberation we chose Arnett's cabin.
From the minute we arrived and were checked in by the friendly and helpful Staff on reception, to drawing up outside the cabin and peeking inside, we knew we had made a very good decision. This cabin is a perfect place for 2 people to come and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this lovely part of Yosemite. To say it is well equipped is an understatement, it literally had everything we could need and more. The bed is comfy, the fridge is huge (by your provisions in Oakhurst on the way, we recommend Vons) the deck is spacious with lovely places or relax, the barbecue is gas fired and so great my husband now wants to buy the same one when we get home!
We stayed for 5 nights and went to the valley on 2 days, (40 minutes drive) one day we did the Mariposa Grove with the giant redwoods which is about 30 mins away, one day we did Glacier Point and Sentinel Dome which is over an hour, bear in mind the speed in all of YNP is restricted to 35mph so you don't get anywhere fast. However with the stunning scenery and views available, who wants to rush. There is an amazing waterfall (Chilnualna) about 15 minutes walk from the cabin and Wawona is just a few minutes drive away.
We loved every minute we spent here and would stay here again if (hopefully when) we return, we cannot recommend this place highly enough. Date of Stay: June 2014

The was our first time staying at The Redwoods at we definitely come back. The quiet private little and big cabins are like the best kept secret in Yosemite. We couldn't have asked for a better more comfortable place to stay! We were very much surprised by how many activities we found to do just around the area, our favorite, The Swinging Bridge. Thank you for sharing your cozy home in the woods with us.

We arrived at Arnett's Cabin after 10 days of traveling in California and felt at home the moment we walked in the door. It's difficult to find the words to describe how wonderful this cabin is & how much we have enjoyed our time here. The Arnett family have achieved a minor miracle in which strangers from 5,000 miles away can immediately felt an old family friend. This is out first time in Yosemite and we have fallen in love both with the Park & this cabin. Writing this sitting on the lovely spacious deck with the barbecue going, we so don't want to leave tomorrow! We hiked, & swam & were pleasantly surprised how comfortably we managed to get in - not too cold at all & so pretty. If/when we return, this is where we would choose to stay.

This is my first time in Yosemite! I think it's really pretty and I really like this cabin a lot! The couch that turns into a bed is really soft and cozy! I saw a deer and maybe I'll see more.

5/5
We traveled here from Illinois and had a great stay. The main event of the trip was our long awaited hike up Half Dome. We had been keeping an eye on the Rim Fire for weeks leading up to the trip. Fortunately that was getting under control by the time we arrived. Next we needed some luck to get a permit in the The Lottery for Oct. 1st, and we did! What we didn't count on was the government shut down. When we arrived we spoke to several rangers about being able to hike Half Dome if the Park shut down on the 1st, they told us to go for it and we did! Glad it all fell into place, because my plan all along was to propose to Tara at the top. Well we made it, and she said "Yes"!! So I gave her a little rock on top of a big rock. The rest of the time was spent doing some smaller hikes and relaxing on this great deck at your wonderful cabin. We had a terrific visit and can't wait to start the next stage of our lives! Date of stay: 9/30/2013

The Best!

This was our first visit to Yosemite, and we were not sure what to expect. We had images of roughing it, building fires to cook our food, setting up a tiny tent to sleep in, and using outdoor restrooms. Thanks to The Redwoods, we were able to experience the beauty and majesty of The Park without succumbing to the "dark side" of camping. We love th balance of luxury and natural wonder of Yosemite. This is the best way to experience the woods. We hope to be back very soon to cabin 23. Thank you! Date of stay 3/31/2013

Coming to The Redwoods for Thanksgiving every other year is and has been a family tradition with my family for many, many years now. This is our first year with our "own" cabin and we couldn't have been happier with this cozy, welcoming cabin Thank you to the Arnett's for allowing us to share their beautiful "home away from home". We plan on returning in 2011 for Thanksgiving.

What a special place cabin 23 is! We brought our boys to Yosemite to show them God's beautiful creations. Your cabin was the perfect place for all of us to enjoy as we planned our days and then later reflected on our days events! All of the accommodations were excellent. The warmth of this cabin was evident from the time we arrived! Thank you very much for making your cabin a place that our family could truly enjoy.

Thank you to the Arnett family for the foresight and gentle care of this lovely cabin in the woods. We have been to the Redwoods cabins 3 times over the last few years, but we agree this has been our favorite sojourn in a most comfortable cabin. The large stone fireplace and comfortable bed are two of our favorite amenities here. What a treat, we will return!
