(20B) We-Dunn-It at The Redwoods In Yosemite
We-Dunn-It is a recently remodeled, bi-level home with 3 bedrooms and 3 newly renovated bathrooms that can sleep 8 guests. The brand-new kitchen is fully equipped with all your cooking, dishwasher, and dining essentials. The living room has a wonderful rock fireplace (firewood included in season), a flat-screen TV with satellite, a VCR player, books, puzzles, a sofa sleeper, and WiFi. The third bedroom and bathroom are located downstairs. Downstairs also has a bonus room with a flat-screen TV, books, and games, as well as a washer and dryer. Outside on the upper deck, there is a brand new gas BBQ for cooking, along with a table and chairs for dining or relaxing your evenings away. The lower deck is entirely sheltered and has seating areas for you to perhaps cozy up with a book while you are outside. Situated perfectly so that it is naturally cool in the summer with in-room A/C, and with a massive stone fireplace that can relieve the chilliest of days, this cabin is equally your home as a cozy ski getaway or a convenient spring/summer & fall retreat. Explore the sites of Wawona, hike the local waterfall, or tune into the vibration of Mother Nature off the expansive back deck. We've found that this house is on a wildlife path, so there are frequent sightings of furry friends!

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 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!

We enjoyed our stay at the We-Dunn-It house at The Redwoods in Wawona. It was nice to get away from the valley's crowds. The house was located in a nice, quiet neighborhood and was perfectly sized for our family. The only downside (if there was one) is that there are limited food options, so you have to plan ahead.
My family of 5 and my brother and sister in law started here for 4 days and it was wonderful! We met up with more family staying in another cabin in the Redwoods. It was the best experience being able to walk to visit our family. It was an awesome base camp for visiting Yosemite! 10/10!
We loved this cabin for our large family! The kitchen was very well equipped for all our cooking needs and the cabin was super cozy! Lots of sitting spaces and wood fireplace was amazing! We love that all bedrooms had a bathroom to accommodate a large party! The check in staff was very friendnly and they have a charging station (level 2) by the the check-in area. It came in handy as one of our vehicles was an electric truck. It was drive to get the Yosemite Valley but the drive was scenic and beautiful! Highly recommend!
Nice house inside Yosemite park. Big and well-stocked.

Thanksgiving Cabin
Thanksgiving in Yosemite!!!! The cabin was awesome!! Our family has been coming to Wawona almost yearly for 50+ years. This is the first stay in this cabin and we were VERY happy! The furnishings are very nice and high quality! The fireplace is spectacular as well - which was put to good use during our visit and kept us warm during a beautiful snow storm. There were 6 of us and we were very comfortable! We will most definitely stay here again!!

Great Property!
I shared this cabin with my parents over the weekend and it was perfect. Had no trouble finding it or with check-in. Internet was a little flakey, but you shouldn't be on your computer anyway! Having two bathrooms was great as well. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Yosemite!
We showed up later in the evening and lost service to our map so we were a little confused finding the place at first but thankfully there was a paper map received from check in that was super helpful! The place was clean and spacious. What was supposed to be a group or 6 turned into a group of 7 one night and 8 the next and everyone felt accommodated with their sleeping arrangements as each couple got a room and the single people slept on the pull out couch upstairs. My favorite addition was they had fans! I’m someone who needs a fan to sleep comfortably so this was great. We were able to fit all 3 vehicles in the designated parking as well. Overall a great place to stay with a big family or with friends. The only thing I would like to note is there was no mention of where to dispose of our trash so we wandered until we found a dumpster nearby. However I’m sure had we just asked the host, they would have told us. Also, there was only half a roll of paper towels left for us for the entire weekend. Next time we will just be more prepared and pack extra. I would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes for our party of 9. Beds for 8 (and a pull out couch if you have more than 8 in your party). Quiet location. Nice, efficient washer and dryer in the cabin which we really appreciated having once we learned the limited hours for the laundry room at the main lodge. Limited parking at the cabin - they said there would be room for 3 vehicles. We couldn’t fit all three of our vehicles in the spot but we did have 2 big SUVs in the mix. Short walk to Chilnualna Falls from the cabin. Tiny grocery mart less than a mile away, but we were glad we bought most of our groceries in Oakhurst on our way to the cabin. The marts inside the park have limited options. Approximately 60min drive to Yosemite Valley. Be sure to visit Mariposa Grove. We loved the Guardian Loop trail inside the Mariposa Grove - worth the extra hiking miles to get to that loop. We also hiked to Half Dome via the John Muir Trail, Mist Trail, Yosemite Upper Falls, Wawona point, Taft Point, Sentinel Dome, Tuolumne Grove, Yosemite Lower Falls, Mirror Lake, and many of the little trails in the valley. Group Favorite = Half Dome and upper falls trail. Least fav = Tuolumne Grove (long drive from the cabin and Mariposa Grove has many more sequoias).
Nice place. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with anything needed. Had problem with gas hot water but maintenance was quick to respond and fix the issue. Nice area within walking distance to creek , falls and camp store. Folks at redwoods in Yosemite do a great job.
It was everything we needed for 4 nights in Yosemite. Wasn’t especially clean when we checked in but was good enough. Does not point out that it doesn’t have air conditioning although I learned that is pretty common so not a huge deal. Overall I would stay here again.
The cabin we stayed in was very nice while we stayed in Yosemite NP for 3 days. It was great to be located inside the park and not wait in long lines to get into the park everyday. The bedrooms were a little small, but overall the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We did have a problem with the dryer not drying after washing a bunch of clothes, but it seemed that everything was new so just not hooked up properly. We reported it so hopefully it gets fixed before the next guests stay there. We highly recommend this property.

Very comfortable and spacious cabin.
Very comfortable and spacious cabin, but a little dark due to all the wood paneling. Loved the refurbished showers. Would have loved a dishwasher, but my granddaughters were a great substitute! Bring your own roll of paper kitchen towels ... I was surprised that item was not included. It was a great location and we enjoyed staying within the park. The girls especially loved playing in the nearby river.

Nice place for a family to stay
The living area needs better lighting for reading. Pretty dark even in the daytime. The kitchen is extremely well equipped except for lacking a cutting board not made of wood.

Terrific summer vacation spot
This was our first time to Yosemite. Location was perfect for the hiking we had planned, with an easy drive into the valley and surrounding trails. The house was comfortable, well maintained and had everything that we needed. Owners were super-nice and very helpful. Great option for a family with older kids rather than trying to cram into a hotel room. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable stay at Redwoods in Yosemite
My stay at the Redwoods in Yosemite was an amazing experience, the location, the people - managing staff and people from the area - the beautifully arranged and fully functional cabin/house and the immediate accessibility to breath taking sites sites made it an unforgettable experience. So good we booked again for this summer! can't wait to go back!
