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 entirely within Yosemite National Park (it preceded the park's founding as a national recreation area) and is on the South Fork of the wild and scenic Merced River, along 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 of everything that Wawona has to offer, and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park!

The location is great, just inside the southern entrance of the National Park. The village was nice and the unit was comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly. Just a note, it is about a 45 minute drive from the cabins into the valley.

We had a Marvelous Time
We absolutely Loved our stay in the Redwoods in Yosemite, and the Shangri La De Da Cabin was beautiful. My Family and I had a simply wonderful time, the weather was perfect, the Staff was so Nice and Friendly. The Deer were so Friendly coming up to all of us and just approachable. Again We have a great Time, and I appreciate all you do for the Guest's in the Redwoods Cabins. Would have Loved to see one of the Resident Bears, but perhaps next time, there will be a Next time for sure. Great Job.

Wonderful Visit
We just spent 4 nights at this lovely cabin. Wawona is a favorite spot for us. The house was equipped with four bedrooms, 3 bathroom, and with 8 adults staying that was terrific. Their is no dishwasher and the kitchen gets pretty tight with 2 people. And the deck furniture could use some help. Their were 2 lounge chairs and one was broken. The other few chairs were pretty beaten up. I know it may sound complaining but it truely was a wonderful visit. We spend every day on the Valley Floor and came home to a comfortable cabin in the evening.

Cozy cabin!!
We all had a great time! The home offered a cozy cabin feel and our kids enjoyed playing on the large deck. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. The location was about 30-40 minutes from the valley floor. We wished we had stayed longer!!!

Spectacular!
Week-long Spectacular! Weather was hot - glad to have fans provided and a short walk to the swimming holes. Swinging bridge is always a highlight. Thanks for a great place to stay!
