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 game of basketball 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 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!

Our family stayed a week at Cecil’s cabin. It is right inside the national park so no need to go through the entrance each day. It’s somewhat deep in the woods, a few min drive off the main road, so recommend arriving in daylight. No WiFi but we had a signal with Verizon, and there was a great little radio inside for old music. It was spacious and comfortable, with one bedroom upstairs and an huge basement type room with multiple beds and a second half bathroom downstairs. Each had its own heat. Cleanliness was above average which I really appreciated. It was well stocked for cooking and essentials, and we didn’t need to request or purchase any extra items. Heating worked great, and the wood stove was so cozy. There was plenty of firewood available. Beds were comfortable. There is a small creek with a bridge a short walk down the hill from your front door. We could hear the creek water from the porch, and my daughter loved playing there each morning. We drove into Yosemite 4 of 6 days, which I think took just under 1 hour of winding mountain driving, and there is also a beautiful swinging bridge area to explore and picnic at right in Wawona, so that’s nice for days you don’t want to drive. There is a general store a few min drive from the cabin as well, expensive like most stores in the area. Just remember to drive to pick up your key at the office building about 10 min away (in an envelope if you arrive after hours) b4 driving to the cabin, and take it back at checkout time.

6 / 10Average·Nov 2023
Check in was delayed due to cabin not ready . We had to wait for over one hour for the cabin to be cleaned before we could check in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was nice with plenty of room. The cabin is in desperate need of a good deep cleaning, it was dirty. The furniture needs updating.The TV did not work. The maintenance people fixed the tv promptly after our call. This cabin has a lot of potential. It has been neglected for years. It could be a great cabin if it was fixed up. Beautiful location and very peaceful. We would not stay there again. I could not recommend anyone to stay there until they clean it up and fix it up. Thanks!
