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 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!
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.

Our family stayed in this cabin for a 5 day trip to Yosemite. We had a great stay. The cabin is roomy and comfortable. Hosts were great and attentive. Located in a perfect location in Wawona to visit Yosemite Valley and the surrounding area. We'll definitely be back

We had a great time and loved this location. About 45 outside the Yosemite Valley loop - Glacier Pointe a must see stop on your way along with the tunnel view. The property had everything we needed, was comfortable, had a stunning deck, up close and personal wild life and had a great dining room table and living space for lots of people to gather! The town of Wawona is cute, has a small little market for forgotten items and very kind people! Highly Recommend

Exactly what I had hoped for as the pictures can be deceiving.
It was fantastic! Everyone was so helpful and pleasant. From maintenance coming to help with mice, laundry helping with a little Oxiclean for my daughter-in-law's new sweatshirt stain, the front desk, and the market checkout clerk. We felt welcome, safe, and appreciated.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is rustic but has a good kitchen and 2 nice bathrooms to give both a cabin feel and the comforts of home.
The living space was great for our multi-generational group and the location is spaced away from other properties to allow for privacy. We were able to access all areas of the park and had a great stay.
The internet was spotty but that is to be expected in a National Park area.
We would recommend this cabin to everyone!

Fantastic home base for 8 of us to explore Yosemite! Relaxing, comfortable, secluded. Among the best Airbnbs, we have stayed in (20+) Well appointed with lots of useful extras like books and games, fans in every room, kitchen utensils, etc The management team was super responsive, and laundry facilities were easily accessible in the main office I would definitely recommend a stop at a store outside the park to load up for a longer stay. there are two stores nearby, but they are limited We would come back again in a heartbeat!

5/5
We really enjoyed our stay at the property in Wawona! It was awesome to be inside the park already and not have to wait in a line each day to enter. It was about an hour scenic drive to both the Valley and Glacier Point, but it gave us time to make plans for the day! Near the house we had a great swimming spot, a playground at the school, and we were located near a gas station and two markets. The markets were a little on the pricey side, so I would recommend doing your large grocery shopping before entering the park. The deck was awesome for our morning yoga and we also saw a ton of wildlife from the property! Overall, great stay!
Enjoyed Wawona!

The cabin was super clean and spacious. It felt private and there is a cute stream that passes right beside the cabin. The only awkward thing was the trash situation where you have to drive it down to a specific location, and I get why. Overall it was a good experience.

This is our first time staying in your cabin and we had a memorable time. After 22 years we were able to return to Yosemite with our children, and with their significant others and our grandchild. it's been a trip for the books with memories we'll never forget. We experienced a grade a bear sighting, told many stories in the family room around the fire, and were mesmerized by the infinite stars in the sky! If was perfect for our family vacation. It was cozy, warm and welcoming. We hope to return in the years to come. Thank you so much sharing your family home with our family.

This year we had a family gathering for Thanksgiving at which included 27 people. All together we had 3 cabins, 9 of us stayed in this lovely one. Every one was really comfortable here and enjoyed our stay. This cabin is a great way to escape the cold! The first night we stayed here we underestimated the heater and baked throughout the night. Two of us, myself included will be leaving for the Air Force within the next two months, this cabin allowed us to make great memories to take along with us! Thank you for everything!!

This is our second time staying at Soot's me with our extended family. The cabin has been filled with the sounds of laughter of cousins 2,7,11, & 14 years as they romp together and enjoy bonding time! We saw deer the first night here and met the neighbors cat Lava. Yesterday we hiked through the meadow to Swinging Bridge. On the way there a mother duck came ashore with her 7 baby ducklings. They came right up to our feet. When we got back to the cabin little Teddy (2 years) told his mom and dad "I like our new house!" We love it here and will be back again and again!
