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 Native American Miwok in their language as Pallachun (a good place to stay). It is entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the park's founding as a national recreation area) and is on the South Fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, along 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 to 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?
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..

We really enjoyed this cabin. Wawona is a beautiful location and a great launching point to discover Yosemite.
The cabin layout is great and we stayed warm in January with the heater and wood-burning stove. The host was responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back.

This was a grat stay in a wonderful cabin. Very clean and comfy. It was a short walk to the river which was overflowing so we could not swim, it was beautiful anyway. The falls in the Valley were amazing. We will be back next spring.

A perfect time.

5/5
We had a perfect time in Big Pine Lodge, traveling with 4 adults and 3 kids, aged 4, 5, and 6. When we arrived late after the office closed, it was easy to find the envelope in the box outside that had the keys and a well-marked map to our cabin. The cabin was spotless and ready with everything we needed. Rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, including a kitchen with plenty of dishes and cookware. The gas grill on the deck worked great. Living and dining rooms were very comfortable for gathering with family. Having two full bathrooms was a big plus for sharing a cabin with 4 adults and three little kids. The store was a 50 yard walk through the woods and was well stocked with any groceries we forgot. The office staff was very professional and helpful. In all, a great stay. We paid more than we are used to for vacation lodging but felt we really got our money's worth with a super clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and a well-managed cabin that made it easy for everyone to relax when traveling with small kids.
Enjoyed our stay!

Took my family and parents and everyone enjoyed their stay in, beautiful cabin. We found the cabin to be clean and had nice towels, beds were comfortable, a very cute little neighborhood a short walk to the River.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was hard to get the kids in the house for dinner as they enjoyed nature and being able to ride their bikes around the town. We felt very nice here and would recommend our family and friends to the Redwoods.
Highly Recommend!
by Carol
5/5
The stay exceeded our expectations by a wide margin. All 10 of us were wowed by how nice and cozy the cabin was; it lent itself to a very relaxing weekend in the woods. Check in and check out could not have been more easy and COV-19 safe. The fact that it is only about 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley and the start of the hikes is a big plus too. Would highly recommend for large groups.

Majestic Valley!

Very Well Suited
by The Smith
5/5
Thank you for the use of this beautiful cabin. Our family visited for the purpose of celebrating Grandma Ellie's 80th Birthday. The staff at The Redwoods was even kind enough to have decorations up before we arrived. Our family created many beautiful memories on this vacation - whether it was during sight seeing trips or during meals at the family dining table. This is the first time we all stayed together at The Redwoods. To share this trip with all the generations was very special. The cabin was well suited fro everyone's needs. We would like to return in the future and some of us even dream of owning a cabin of our own! Until...next time. Date of Stay: June 2014

Awesome Surroundings
by From
5/5
Good times, Good People, Good Food, and Awesome Surroundings. I was obsessed with the market for some reason. The table in the living room area is amazing. It fostered much needed time together. I've always stayed in the upper lower pines in Yosemite valley when I visited the park. But I am very happy that i was able to experience The Redwoods. The area and surrounding trails and attraction are very accessible.
Amazing time

Hey it's the Young's. This is our last night here and we are sad to go. First off the carpet was amazingly soft, and all the rooms were nice for our big family. I especially liked the loft with the two beds. Being close to the was great-everyday we went for a dip. Would love to come back one day soon.

This is our 1st trip to Yosemite. The cabin is perfect for us as we didn't exactly want to rough it, see the rooms are nicely decorated; the room decor is very cute. I especially love the kitchen. Our 3 days here is the perfect getaway from the hustle and noise of the city.
