Upstairs Loft- One bunk bed w/ twin over full**, AND Two additional twin beds

There is an additional twin bed on the screened porch for some day time naps or even night time sleeping during periods of nice weather.

Like many cabins inside Yosemite, this property does not have Air Conditioning. Summers tend to be relatively mild in higher elevations, but in the case of a heat wave, there are two ceiling fans and two portable fans.

Since absolutely no wood burning is allowed anywhere on the property for wildland fire safety, a supplemental infrared quartz heating stove is provided on the hearth in addition to the forced air heating system.

Rental Agreement- Immediately after booking, the rental agreement displayed at checkout will be sent to you via text and email for E-signing. Kindly E-sign this within 48 hours to finalize your reservation. You will also need to upload a photo of the ID associated with the credit card on file. This is solely for fraud protection purposes. E-signing allows you to go straight to the property upon your arrival, instead of coming to our office to sign and get a key!

Welcome Guide- One week prior to arrival, a digital welcome book will be sent via email and text message. It will have your special door code, address, items provided, and much more great info to help you prepare for your trip!

Access to Yosemite and Nearby Attractions- Yosemite National Park, like many others across the United States, has implemented a reservation system in recent years to manage visitor numbers effectively. Since this home is located INSIDE Yosemite National Park, you will NOT NEED a separate entrance reservation, only proof of your lodging reservation (please see official park website for details). We highly recommend that visitors planning a trip to Yosemite stay informed by regularly checking the National Parks websites and affiliated sources for any updates regarding the reservation system. While we strive to provide our guests with an exceptional experience, it's important to note that access to Yosemite or nearby attractions cannot be guaranteed, especially during peak seasons. By staying informed and flexible, visitors can better navigate their travel plans and make the most out of their trip to this beautiful region.

Kitchen- The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cookware, cups, silverware, and more! Our housekeeping team leaves out salt, pepper, and a can of cooking spray. Friends, family, and other guests sometimes leave spices, aluminum foil or ziploc bags at the home. You are most welcome to use any of these items, but if something is particularly crucial to the success of your meals, we do recommend bringing it along with you.

Linens- Our vacation homes are some of the few in the Yosemite area to use professionally laundered linens. All linens are professionally serviced for each and every reservation. The linens are washed in commercial grade washers with stronger hypoallergenic detergent than you would find in a residential washer. All linens are then pressed with an iron at 300° F, vs. a standard home dryer that only reaches 160°. You are not likely to find this level of service in other vacation homes.

**Bunkbeds- Please note that due to California Worker's Compensation restrictions, housekeeping will not be able to make the top bunk prior to arrival. Fresh sheets, bedding, and pillows are absolutely provided for it though!

Dog Friendly!- This property IS dog friendly for a maximum of 2 dogs. Please ensure you have added your dog to your reservation prior to completing your booking. If you decide later on you would like to add your dog, please reach out to us so that we can get your dog added to the reservation. While we prefer your dog never be left unattended at the property, we do require the dog to be left in a crate if you do need to leave the pup for a short period of time. This is to prevent any unnecessary barking, chewing, or any other damages dogs are known to cause in new environments.

Parking- There is enough parking for 3 cars at this property. We appreciate you not exceeding the maximum parking limit. Many of the local roads are privately owned and privately maintained. Please be mindful to obey speed laws and drive slowly in residential neighborhoods!

Early or Late Check-ins- Early check ins are often difficult for our team to accommodate. If you would like to check in early, please reach out to us after 2PM on the day of your arrival so we can check with our team. If you need guaranteed early check in, we recommend booking the night before your arrival so that you may check in as early as you wish. For checkout, most vacation homes have a 10AM check out in our area. We provide an 11AM checkout, and unfortunately can rarely offer a later checkout.

Occupancy- Maximum occupancy of 9 guests regardless of age. Infants are included in the total. This is strictly enforced. No having events/weddings/large dinner gatherings/guests over just to visit.

Garbage- Garbage truck service is not available in this area. Yosemite Park requires visitors to "pack out" their garbage. There are several free bear proof dumpsters within walking distance of the cabin where you can dispose of your garbage. We have directions inside the welcome binder in the cabin!

Chains- This property is located inside Yosemite National Park at an elevation of 4000 feet. Snow can often be expected from the late fall to the spring. California Highway Patrol and the National Parks Service may require chains and/or 4 wheel drive with snow tires in wintery/snowy/icy conditions. Please ensure you are bringing a vehicle and necessary equipment capable of navigating in these conditions.

No Smoking- The Smoke Remediation Fee will be a minimum of $500 for smoking in the house and could be higher depending on the extent of the damage.

Insurance- Travel Insurance is provided as an option during the checkout process. Please note that as hosts, we cannot protect your trip from flight delays, illnesses, weather, job loss, or other circumstances that may prevent you from making your trip. We truly wish we could! We STRONGLY suggest purchasing some type of Travel Insurance so that you may protect your vacation investment from unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from making your trip. It's a nominal cost that can absolutely pay off!

Mail- Due to locked neighborhood mailboxes, we ask you not mail anything to the property. You are most welcome to mail items to our office (Love Yosemite! Vacation Rentals) in Oakhurst. Please reach out to us to make arrangements.

Calling Us- The phone number on our account does not receive text messages, because it is the number for our office. Please call that number or send us a message if you need any help or have any questions!

Please note this property is nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, offering a serene escape into nature. However, being in such a pristine environment means that you may occasionally encounter some of nature's residents, such as ants, spiders, insects, mice, and cobwebs. We take every precaution, including regularly scheduled professional pest control to minimize these occurrences, but they are a natural part of the mountain experience and may get past our defenses from time to time. If you do notice any of this during your stay, please let us know so we can promptly address them and ensure your comfort.

Neighbors- Please do not trespass on the neighboring properties. We appreciate you respecting the local neighborhood!

2. Please do not do any laundry, it's all professionally serviced off-site.
3. If you have time to start the dishwasher, that would be helpful but not necessary.
4. Yosemite National Park requires visitors to "pack out" their garbage. For your convenience, the park has placed several free, bear proof dumpsters in the Wawona area! The nearest dumpsters are located less than a minute away.
5. Most importantly, please return any furniture you may have moved during your stay.
P.S. Don't forget to get a last minute photo or two with your family and friends before leaving!

After booking, the rental agreement displayed at checkout will also be sent for E-sign to the email on file. Kindly E-sign this within 48 hours after you make your booking to finalize your reservation.

Great family cabin in Wawona
Super comfortable, clean, and well appointed cabin for our family of 5 inside the park, which was clutch to avoid the traffic at the park entry gate. Enjoyed exploring the Wawona area the first day to unwind before taking the 45 minute drive into the valley the following day for spectacular mountain and waterfall views. Great stay overall. Highly recommended.

Perfect Family Get-Together
From first glance inside the cabin door, to the discovery of a swimming hole less than a mile away, to holding babies on the porch and cooking group meals, “A Place to Call Home” was everything our family wanted and needed. It was perfect. Only snaffoo was in missing the written directions about, “First cabin on the right of the entrance road.” Be sure to not completely trust your gps. Thank you for a fabulous time celebrating family and new twin babies!

Cozy + Quiet in Yosemite!
Yosemite is huge! This cabin is a 15 minute drive to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, 35 minutes drive to groceries (Oakhurst), 2 minute drive to a smaller convenience store. About 40 minutes to Curry Village in Yosemite which was very close to many incredible hikes. The cabin itself was super cute, quiet and comfortable. Communication with hosts was very easy. Would definitely stay again!

Our stay was a highlight of our trip. What a wonderful home in every way from the rooms, variety of dishes, gas grill, outdoor seating and setting, etc. loved the quiet neighborhood and access to river and hikes. The hosts were wonderful also.
