"Great location, plenty of parking. The only complaint is the unit heat made loud noise which interrupted my sleeping from time to time even with ear plugs."

"The pictures do not exagerate--this is literally one room, packed tight. We had three adults and two kids sleeping, and it was cramped. Location is great."

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

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."

"The home was perfect for our weeklong trip to Yosemite. Jimmy was a great host - very responsive and thoughtful. The house was exactly as described. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The location can't be beat if you want to stay within the park boundaries. We would definitely stay at this location again!"
