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 trail heads 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 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!

Very cute cabin
by Erik
5/5
The cabin is exactly how it is presented in the ad. a Very cute cabin in the woods inside the park, it has a queen bedroom and a pull-out couch, so it can sleep a family of four. It was just the 2 of us so we were very comfortable. It has a front and back porch and a little bbq. Also plenty of parking space. Easy access to a little market, gas station, and a couple of restaurants within 10 minutes drive.

Magical Place

This beautiful cabin was a prefect place to call home base. We hiked all day in Yosemite and it was comforting to come back here and crash. The front porch & rocking chairs were a nightly ritual.

Clean facility, with all the amenities needed. Date of Stay: May 2014

What a wonderful little cabin! We had a great time staying here and introducing our 8 month old son to the wonders of Yosemite. The rocking chairs on the porch and in the bedroom were priceless in helping us rock our little one.
