About the Area
Nestled just 4 miles inside the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is the charming and historic town of Wawona. Located at the base of Chilnualna Falls (the second-highest vertical-drop waterfall in Yosemite) and home to the principal trailheads into the southern Yosemite wilderness, Wawona is also the closest town to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.
Wawona has the feel of a small town but is bustling with activity! Over 160 residents, including Yosemite Park employees, live in Wawona and can be seen gathering at the town's community center, playing a pickup basketball game at the elementary school, jogging on one of the many picturesque trails, or simply walking their dogs and baby strollers through the winding residential streets. The historic Wawona Swinging Bridge boasts the best natural water slide in the Park! The history village is filled with docents, stagecoach rides, horseback rides, and barn dances in the summer season, and the Wawona Meadow Loop offers year-round riparian meadow wildlife viewing.
Wawona was known to the local Native American Miwok in their language as Pallachun (a good place to stay). It is located entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the founding of the park as a national recreation area), and is located on the South Fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, on the main highway (State Route 41) from Fresno to Yosemite Valley.
Galen Clark, who helped gain preservation legislation for Mariposa Grove and what later became part of Yosemite National Park, occupied the Wawona area in 1855 and established a tourist rest and modest ranch, which he later sold and made into a hotel and resort property (the Wawona Hotel). The Wawona post office was established in 1878 and was originally called Clark's Station.
The Redwoods in Yosemite has over 120 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance to everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
The cabin is perfectly set up for a warm, cozy family gathering with plenty of space for our party of five. The kitchen is nicely laid and highly functional. My husband and I enjoyed having the whole top floor to ourselves with our two adult daughters (one with her fiance) taking the two bedrooms below. The secod floor loft over the living room and the fireplace both added some charm. Our proximity to Yosemite key attractions, Mariposa Grove and nearby trails was perfect for our three night stay. Having the Pine Tree Market a block away from us was a big plus. We had a wonderful time!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2023
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at the Wawona Retreat. Being inside the park made our visit so much easier, since we didn't have to worry about entering each day. Wawona is a great location and is very close to the Mariposa Grove.
Although the home wasn't huge, there was enough room for our 8-person group. It was also super convenient to be so close to the neighborhood market (right around the corner).
The kitchen had everything we needed to make several meals, which we definitely took advantage of.
There could have been a few more towels, both in the kitchen and bathrooms. You also need to make sure you provide your own shampoo, soap, etc., but this is nitpicking.
We would definitely considering staying here again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2021
The home was very comfortable and cozy. It was just my wife and 2 teenage daughters, but could easily accommodate another family of 4. We stayed for 3 nights, but we realized we should have stayed at least an entire week, just on the basis of the location and the home comfort the rental provided. I will definitely recommend the house and will be looking for another stay in the future.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
This pros: A/C, the kitchen was functional and it made good use of it space with the beds. It was nice being close to the market.
Cons: Needs major updating, the downstairs bathroom was very musty with visible mildew, the A/C had to be set very low to get the upstairs at a comfortable temp therefore making the downstairs bedrooms frigid. The backyard needs shade or an umbrella.
Overall, we had a wonderful time in Wawona and made special memories. However, I just don’t feel like this cabin was worth what we paid.
