(45) The Overlook Description
The Overlook
The Overlook is a thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin that comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests. Nestled on a wooded lot, it offers privacy, comfort, and convenient, direct access to the Merced River.
One of the cabin's standout features is its private 1,000-square-foot deck, nestled among mature trees and natural beauty, with no rear neighbors and uninterrupted privacy. Enjoy your morning coffee among the pines, fire up the Blackstone grill or Weber barbecue, watch for wildlife, or relax under the stars. The spacious deck provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Inside, you'll find a fully renovated kitchen and bathroom, WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and a backup generator for added peace of mind. The kitchen includes a gas stove and dishwasher, while the living room features a large stone fireplace (wood provided seasonally) and satellite TV with access to Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, and other streaming services. A Miele washer and dryer are also provided.
The cabin features all-new beds, mattresses, and premium pillows, including a king-size bed in the master bedroom.
Please note: The Overlook is not directly on the river. The Merced River flows just beyond the trees behind the property and can be accessed directly from the rear of the lot. Popular swimming and fishing spots are only a five-minute walk away. We love animals, but pets are not permitted.
2 Bedrooms - 1 Bathroom - Sleeps 4 - Single-Level -923 Sq. Ft. - 1,048 Sq. Ft. Deck
No pets allowed. An EV charging station is available at the Main Office.
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 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!
