Yosemite Trip for First timers

We had family fly into meet us and have their first time experience of Yosemite. The entire trip was wonderful and we wished in hindsight that we had a longer time there. The home was great for all of the people with plenty of sleeping spaces and bathrooms!

Rejuvenating Wawona stay

We hiked in Mariposa Grove & the Chihualna falls trail, & drove to Yosemite Valley several days. The house was comfortable and very well appointed. Many kitchen items, extra snuggly blankets, a steam shower & hot tub were all enjoyed. We did spot wildlife, and our FL granddaughter loved snow on the ground—& around the hot tub! A really wonderful spring break.

Perfect house for Family Trip to Yosemite

The house can easily accommodate a large group with large kitchen, family room, multiple bathrooms and expansive comfortable deck with a large table for outdoor evening meals. It was perfect for our stay. Summer months may get warm but the house is stocked with fans and the upstairs wing was very cold and comfortable. Nights are cold for sleeping.

1st trip to Yosemite

The house and location were just what we were hoping for! I failed to realize and was pleasantly surprised to find that the house is located within the National Park, so we didn’t have to deal with the park’s entrance every day.

Yosemite - Spring Get-a-Way

This property was ideal for the gathering of 4 adult couples to introduce two of us to the wonders and beauty of Yosemite. Approximately 50 minutes from the valley floor, it is located in a quiet neighborhood a half a mile from the Wawona Hotel. The house was roomy and clean, with a comfortable great room we used for games and conversation. Each of the 4 bedrooms had its own bathroom - which was a big plus. One of the bedrooms was upstairs, the others were downstairs. The fireplace was perfect for early the early May nights, and there is a convenient small grocery store a 5 minute walk down the road. We would definitely recommend this for a larger group that doesn't mind the trek into the valley. Plenty of parking for the 4 couples. We will be back the next time we visit Yosemite.

Large spacious property

It was a very nice stay but the house felt dated and in need of some maintenance. It did not take away from our enjoyment. We even used the hot tub one night. They do have a lot of light switches and it would have been nice if they would have been labeled or had more instructions in the guest book.

Great Space

Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Common room was comfortable. Covered porch was great for dining; we pushed the two tables together so the whole group could eat family style. Hot tub was hot. Location was super as it is inside the park so we did not have to wait at the park entrance station each day and we did not have to get a separate park entrance pass.

Great stay

The house has everything you need and it's exactly as pictured. The location is lovely. I wish there were extra towels for when we used the hot tub, and the beds weren't the most comfortable, but overall it was a great stay specially considering the location and the lack of options for a bigger group at Yosemite.

Yosemite

Overall we had an amazing time. Renting a property inside the park made sightseeing so convenient. The property was cozy and plenty of space. The only downside was the disposal leaked and the BBQ did not work efficiently. (Only one burner worked and it did not work well) So our steak had to be cooked stovetop. 😑 my family and I hope to stay again very soon.

Fabulous home

I write this review with mixed feelings since more people will want to stay and it will be harder to book! This house is perfect for four couples or several families. The rooms are nice size, the living room is great, the bathrooms good and the kitchen is stocked with everything! We had such a great time we’re going to return next year.
