Modern Cabin in Yosemite NP
This gem is a rare find inside the Yosemite National Park gates. Julianna and local host Katy were extremely attentive and responsive to any questions or needs we had. Julianna was passionate about Yosemite and eager to share information. The cabin was well stocked, it had everything a guest could need. The neighborhood was quiet. Approx 50 drive to the Valley and Glacier Point area sites; Mariposa Grove nearby. Would highly recommend this cabin for a great Yosemite trip!

Idyllic
Super clean and lovely layout. Lots of nice extra touches; great linens, local coffee beans, even yoga mats if you please. Leigh was a good resource too for local hikes and such. Truly an A property.

Amazing in the park accomodations!
Perfect place for a family trip to Yosemite. Location inside the park means no wait at the ranger station. Cabin was clean, comfortable and well stocked with basic supplies. Our host Leigh was a great help with her advice and places to visit.

Wonderful cabin in Yosemite
My family and I stayed at this lovely cabin for three nights in June. The beautiful, recently built cabin is bright, clean and modern. We wanted a house within the park to avoid waiting in the long lines at the park entrances. We were a party of eight ranging in ages from 8-80. The tri-level cabin allowed plenty of space for us all to relax after a day of exploring the park. The cabin was thoughtfully designed with numerous amenities to make it a delightfully peaceful and relaxing escape in the park. There was a heat wave during our stay and we were thankful to have AC. The beautiful kitchen is well stocked with all the pans and dishes needed for big family meals. The cabin is closely situated to a few beautiful hiking trails in the Wawona area that are much less crowded than those in the valley. We will miss gazing out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the view of the forest or starry night sky. We wish we could have stayed longer and highly recommend the cabin for anyone visiting Yosemite.

Beautiful Property
Beautiful property located in quaint Wawona. Impeccably clean, light, bright with all the modern amenities. So convenient to exploring Yosemite. Was perfect for outdoor exploring and coming home and making dinner in awesome modern kitchen. Played games and got to see Celtics win first playoff game on home’s big screen. Win win for all of us.
