"This was an ideal property for a mixed group on our first visit to the park. Beautiful living area, good kitchen and lovely porch. The grill and hot tub were good amenities after hiking.

RIVER VIEW Yosemite Cabin in Wawona among the Redwoods,3 Bed 2 bath, jump rock!

8/10 Good
"Great place to stay within the confines of the park with a 35-40 minute drive to the valley and no need to wait in line at a park gate each time you want to explore the park. The backyard jumping rock was a HUGE hit with the kids and a great little swimming hole for everyone right behind the house which is great during high temps. Host was super responsive anytime we had a question. Place was clean and had everything we needed although could use some upgrades (drinkware, patio furniture cushions). There is also a general store within walking distance which has just about anything you might need including frozen dinners and beer/wine. Everyone at the store is friendly and helpful with info. They even let us borrow a cooler for one of our park excursions. One note on accommodations: the bunk room says it sleeps 5; It’s two sets of bunk beds and a 5th mattress that slides out from under one of the bunks. Worked fine for us just so people are aware it is technically not 5 “beds” per se. No AC, but several fans and with windows open it tends to get cool enough at night for sleeping."

Sunset Retreat NEW LISTING. Inside Yosemite PARK! Close to Half Dome, Ski Area

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and I would rate this property 7/10. The home is spacious, and the kitchen is large enough for a group to gather, cook, and enjoy meals together. The master bedroom and the second bedroom with the queen bed were comfortable, and the master bathroom has a very large shower that was wonderful to use. I also appreciated that the host provided large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which was a thoughtful touch. Having a washer and dryer was another great convenience, allowing us to wash our clothes before heading home. One thing to keep in mind is that all the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the lower level. There is no bathroom on the main living area, so guests need to go downstairs to use the restroom. This may not be the most convenient layout for elderly guests or anyone with knee or mobility issues. The bunk bed is suitable for children, but adults sleeping on the lower bunk may find the clearance low, making it difficult to sit up straight. If you’re visiting Yosemite, it’s also worth knowing that power outages can happen in the area. During our second night, the electricity was out for more than three hours after we returned from a full day of exploring. Since there was no cell service or Wi-Fi during the outage, it would be a good idea to bring a flashlight or rechargeable lantern just in case. Overall, this is a comfortable, spacious home in a great location for visiting Yosemite."
