Summer vacation
The house was great and very clean with a just a few exceptions. The dishwasher was left full of dishes and the refrigerator had puddles of water in the drawers. The deck was big and spacious, however you had to be careful as there were nail heads sticking up all over. With that being said, we had a great time and would stay there again. Loved seeing the deer everyday and just being in trees.

Great Location, Roomy, Clean
We really enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin. We booked late, and felt lucky to be able to stay in the park, especially when we saw the long lines to get in as we departed! The beds were especially comfortable, and wifi and television reception were fine. It was very clean and linens and towels were plentiful. Dishwasher and washer/dryer were much appreciated! I cooked and made picnic lunches with ease. As others noted, weathered wooden decks are prone to popped up nails, so shoes are a must. After you enter the park, the Wawona area is close, and from this cabin you can walk to Pine Tree Market for forgotten items. Just past this store, turn left to go toward Chilnualna Falls. It's a short distance by car to parking area and it's an easy walk to the falls. Mariposa Grove is back toward the south entrance, but I'd put it last on things to see in Yosemite. Still, it's a short drive and a shuttle bus will ferry you from the parking lot. The drive to Valley is maybe a bit longer than 35 minutes, but that's a close estimate.Get there early and keep your parking spot. Glacier Point Road is on the right before you get to the Valley entrance. Several miles down this road you'll get to Sentinel Dome and Glacier Point Overlook. -Sunset on Sentinel Dome is amazing (moderate 1+ mi. hike), viewing at Glacier Point overlook is at the parking area. Location of this cabin was excellent, and other than National Park sites, I didn't see other sites that would be appreciably closer.

Ideal cabin for a group in the Ponderosa woods. Lots of room and very comfortable. The deck needs some work but otherwise a lovely place. Five hiking seniors enjoyed the ease of driving to the main sites, waterfalls, Yosemite valley and hiking trails. Would go back again!

Lovely cabin conveniently located in Yosemite Park
I booked this cabin for a family trip to Yosemite, and this was my first time using VRBO. The communication with the property’s owner was great. I received all of the information in advance of my stay. The cabin is centrally located right in Yosemite, only 30 minutes from Oakhurst and Yosemite Valley. The kitchen contained nearly everything we needed to enjoy family meals, and having the fireplace with plenty of firewood came in handy during the chilly nights. Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin. With that said, I would like to make 2 suggestions. First, I would highly recommend checking the deck for any needed repairs because there are some splintered areas and areas where nails have popped up over time. This would allow renters to enjoy the deck more. Second, the cabin had the appearance that it hadn’t been rented in a while because there were a lot of cobwebs, dead insects on the floor, and the toilets had rings in them. I’m sure the property is cleaned between renters but it would be nice to check it again for a light cleaning if there are long gaps between rentals.

Cabin in Wawona
A group of high school friends, now in our 60s, stayed for 3 nights at the cabin. The location was excellent, with a village store right down the street, some hiking trails close by, and the Giant Sequoia Grove a short drive. The cabin was well furnished and we had all we needed there. It was about a 45 minute drive to Yosemite village.

Alpine Paradise stay
Our family stayed at the home for a summer visit to Yosemite. It is was adequate and comfortable for our group. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the cabin because we were out doing activities. The location is convenient to a lot of the park (about and hour from Yosemite Valley). Overall it was a good stay, and we didn’t have any problems with the house.

Loved being in the park and we were not on the property much because we were hiking so much. Had everything we needed. No exhaust fans in bathrooms, windows didn’t lock and deck was rotting in places and many nails sticking up. If we had young kids with us, we would have been really concerned.

Wonderful stay
Our family of 5 had a wonderful visit to Yosemite, and we were so grateful to be able to stay in this cabin. Dan was great about answering questions. The Wawona community includes a wide variety of homes. This one, while not new or fancy, was extremely well-maintained and immaculately clean. Our teenagers affectionately said this cabin had a “vintage vibe”. I recommend buying groceries in Oakhurst before you reach the park. The two stores in Wawona are very small and quite pricey, as you might expect. For example, one of them didn’t seem to have dishwasher detergent, and the other had a package of 15 dishwashing tablets for $9. We really enjoyed cooking on the nice propane grill here. I found the kitchen a bit small, but the deck was spacious and the grill was fantastic. We didn’t need the AC during our visit, but the central heat did a great job of keeping us warm on chilly nights. We had no cell service, so we were grateful for the Wi-Fi, which worked perfectly. The park service was conducting controlled burns in Yosemite Valley during our stay (late-May 2021), so we were grateful to find some wonderful hikes outside of the Valley: we explored the Mariposa Grove up to Wawona Point; Dewey Point off of the Glacier Point Road was a break for our weary feet; and Chilnualna Falls was a gem! We walked to the Chilnualna Falls trailhead from the cabin (less than a mile), and enjoyed a fabulous day on the trail—we hardly saw another person. The many levels of falls were stunning! We were also really thankful that we were staying outside of the Valley so that we could escape the smoke. We were glad to be staying in the quiet little community of Wawona.
