This is a great location to stay, and is approximately 45 mins drive to the Park. It certainly would be helpful especially during the peak season. The house was absolutely amazing and very spacious to accommodate our extended family of 8. It was very clean and stocked with enough supplies even for a cold weather we experienced during our recent stay. There's a convenience store close by, and it's helpful if you miss something. Highly recommended for cleanliness and homely feel, prompt communication, and support.

We really enjoyed the stay, especially after finding the swimming hole near the swinging bridge! The house could use some upgrades, especially in the kitchen, but it was nice to have many bathrooms and beds! Would recommend, especially since there seems to be a limited supply of home rentals within the park. It is quite the drive to/from the valley, but a nice place to stay!

Right in Wawona

Overall a pretty nice place. The neighborhood is a few modern and some older houses built in a rarely allowed spot - within a forest right on the southern edge of Yosemite. Beds were comfortable, place is nice so if you want to be in Yosemite, in your own place, this is it.

Excellent location inside the park, very quite with good hiking routes directly from the home. Swinging bridge is about 1 mile away. House well setup with a welcome package. Only issue we had was the blinds in one of the rooms where not there but a good alarm to get up when the sun raises. Google maps takes you to behind the home so you will need to navigate your way to the front door. Ample parking for 2 vehicles.

The house it's beautiful and in a great location! I'll definitely stay there again. I just need to mention two things that in my opinion will make this house the best place to stay. One, it would it be nice to have extra fans since it was a bit hot at night. Second it would it be nice to be able to use the garage to put the luggage and all our items in. Since we were a big group, we felt very squeeze in the living room with all the items we carried.

Wonderful Place in Wawona

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The place was just as advertised. Plenty of room for our party of 7. The house is very nicely updated and comfortable. It is also well stocked with linens, towels and kitchenware. The neighborhood is quiet with minimal to no traffic. Great location to visit Yosemite. Would definitely stay again!
