Comfortable Rental In the Park

Before we arrived, we bought groceries in Oakhurst. The Pine Tree Market and the general store in Wawona are more expensive, and they don't have a big selection. After spending time in Yosemite Valley, which is hectic, we enjoyed our time in Wawona hiking the Wawona Meadow Loop Trail and the Swinging Bridge Trail. The mule ride and the Mariposa Grove were highlights too. The rental had anything we needed in the kitchen. The washer and dryer were convenient. We took less clothes. The beds were satisfactory. I would recommend this rental. It is so convenient to stay in the park.

Trip back in time

The house was a trip back to the 70’s in terms of decor but everything was clean. The house does not have a washer and dryer like the description states. The grill had two empty propane tanks. For 4 adults, we had 3 wash cloths. Beds and linens are really good. The location is close to the Mariposa grove. The trip into the Yosemite valley area takes you through the Tunnel view which is jaw dropping and not that far but is not a great drive at night or during poor weather. The owner is taking care of the property but we struck out on a few details. When we bumped into the issues, the owner was not responsive to help us figure it out.

Even better than my own home

A lovely place. Everything is at the right place. Considerate and cozy. There is a small market nearby selling fruits, vegetables,..... Chilnualna Falls is only .3 miles away. We only went to lower falls this time. It's a very nice trail and seems not an easy one. Next time we will get to the upper falls.

Nice quiet spot!! Perfect for our visit. We weren’t sure what to do when we left with the keys but we locked everything up and put them back in the lock box. We had a great visit!! I may have left a pair of glasses there. They would be on one if the kitchen benches if they are there. Let me know if anyone finds them and maybe they could be sent to me! Thank you!! Mary

This is a lovely place to stay for a quiet visit to Yosemite. A drive to the valley but worth it as we could escape the crowds and really get away from it all. Good facilities. Handy local shop and delightful dark skies. Highly recommend for a family.

We were so happy to be in the park and not have to worry about the entrance lines daily. Did the hike to the waterfall close to the house. The meadow hike was very relaxing. Even played a round of golf.

This place is even nicer than what the pictures show. Fresh wildflowers were placed around the house for an added beautiful touch. Everything we could possibly need for our comfort was available to us. Close proximity to many local attractions. We loved this place.

Wonderful Cabin and host

This cabin is outstanding and in a wonderful location within Yosemite. We are a family of 5, with 3 grown up kids. The cabin was very well equipped and much bigger than it appears online. It has a fabulous wrap around deck that is wonderful for star gazing. VEry big spacious living room and attached kitchen. BAthrooms were fully stocked. The host was wonderful and replied to our email questions within a few hours. I cannot recommend this highly enough, just spectacular.

House was comfortable. Cleaning crew did not do best job. Good location. Walking distance to convenience store and less than 2 miles to gas station. Lot of front steps, remember if you have large heavy suitcase. Hosts are very nice to deal with and respond to questions or concerns quickly. Would recommend this property over some others in area.

Perfect Location

What a wonderful place to stay while visiting Yosemite! I HIGHLY recommend staying inside the park to avoid the crazy long entry lines each day. This place was perfect. And there are plenty of fun things to do nearby: Chilnualna Falls, the swinging bridge, Wawona History Center and more.

Google Maps worked well for us. The place was very clean. Check-in was pretty easy. Wonderful neighborhood. There is a small grocery store nearby that saved us a trip outside the park. The only issue was that AC would not work, it got hot inside the property in the evening and at night. We just opened some windows and handled the heat.

Authentic & superb stay at Wawona

So close to Wawona, the Pika house is full of 70’s charm. Spaciously nested just a minutes drive away from the Wawona hotel, we were struck by the high quality vintage decor, look and feel of the property. Would sure stay again, we loved it!!

North Wawona stay

Property is spacious with 2 bedrooms. Inside the park, so no long lines to enter the park each day, though it is about 45 minutes away from Yosemite Valley. Only issue was with the hot water (too hot and uncontrollable in master bath), which owner promised to address after being notified. Owner was responsive to all messages.
