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 historic 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 (now called Big Trees Lodge). The Wawona post office was established in 1878 and was originally called Clark's Station.
The Redwoods In Yosemite has over 110 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance of everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

Beautiful Yosemite cabin close to Mariposa Grove and all the sites at Yosemite Valley. The cabin was well-equipped and comfortable, with everything needed in a home-away-from-home.

Nice, comfortable, vintage cabin with some modern conveniences like A/C & dishwasher. Perfect for our group.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Our reservation was changed by management as we were told that the Wapati was being renovated. Redwood Cottages offered us a choice of 3 others residences to choose from. We stayed in cabin 18a Pohono Pines. The staff are accommodating and when we had questions about hiking on a local trail, they were helpful. Unfortunately, the lodging needed a more thorough cleaning in and around the property. Active mouse traps were left around the living room and kitchen and a dead mouse was left in one of the traps. There was mouse dropping around the inside of the residence. I was a bit worried about getting sick (since the recent reports of Hante Virus), so this dampened our trip a little bit. I realize the cabins are located in an area where there is a lot of wildlife, but I have stayed here in other cabins and have not had this experience.
