Property was nice and it was close to the river. A little on the expensive side for being an older place, but I would definitely stay there again with a little larger party to break up the cost a little. With bunk beds in the one room, you could sleep 4 children and then 4 adults in the others. I think they described it as sleeping 10 people…but definitely not 10 adults. Overall a nice place that is well kept and we had a nice stay…would recommend for 2 families max.

All about that rock!

We had our two boys aged 11 and 12 and it was all about the swimming hole! Truly a gift. Yosemite itself is just an overcrowded hot desert mountain but the reason we’d ever come back is bc of this spot. Inside the park so you can avoid the lines/check in? Heck yeah. The market right up the road has everything you need including delicious tuna steaks which I cooked on the grill! Decent amount of kitchen supplies but be sure to ready to wash. Not the biggest kitchen. All in all, a great place and we’d love to come back one day in the future.

Beautiful location - great accommodations!

The house was clean and the instructions to find it and to get into the house and the check-in check-out process were flawless. One thing to be aware of the downstairs bedroom has two bunkbeds so that sleeps for., not three bunkbeds, like it says in one location.The jumping rock and the river are gorgeous. The wildlife was great. It was wonderful being in Yosemite for a couple nights.We are looking forward to visiting again in the futureIt was my wife and myself three teenagers and one adult child

I know Wawona fairly well and this cabin is positioned perfectly! It’s right above the main swimming hole and the sound of the river is amazing at night. It’s an old cabin but has everything you need.

Beautiful location, rustic cabin

We really enjoyed our stay, despite arriving in mid July during a heatwave and realizing there is no AC. I completely overlooked that detail in the listing and we were traveling with our older parents who were not pleased. The cabin is very rustic but clean and there are fans in every room. The river below is gorgeous but getting down is steep! My parents were unable to get down to the river which was a bummer. We, on the other hand, enjoyed floating and swimming every afternoon after we got back from Yosemite Valley. Also, the Chilnualna Falls trail in the neighborhood is a must do! So beautiful and a quick hike.

Merced River was great

We enjoyed our stay in Wawona very much. It was a perfect spot to stay and visit Yosemite. The house overlooks the Merced River and we spent a lot of time down at the river. Please note, there is no air conditioning. For most of our stay that worked fine, but we did have one evening that it was quite warm and for some reason that also happened to be the same night a very rowdy group of young people went down to the river well past quiet time hours. Every other day, it was actually pretty quiet on our little dead end street. The house is older, but in good shape. It fit our family well and there is a lot of deck space outside to sit and enjoy looking over the river at the end of a day. I would definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area.

Picturesque cabin on the river

Lovely cabin with stellar and serene views of the south Merced River. Located inside Yosemite Park was extremely convenient and we saved hours of waiting in car lines to enter the park. In the mornings we explored Yosemite National Park and in the afternoons we swam, fished, and played in the river. There is a lovely market called Pine Tree at the end of the street, a nice walk to pick up any items needed for the week. At night we fell asleep to the calming sounds of the river below. Would 10 out of 10 recommend. Such a beautiful and memorable trip for our family.

Nice place in a perfect location!

We loved our stay here, but it was a little cramped with 10 people- there were only 2 sets of bunk beds, not 3. We just used an air mattress on the floor to sleep 2 more kids, and they all had a blast together. The kitchen looked different than the pictures show. It was small and not well stocked -(not enough dishes and cereal bowls for example), and no pantry space to store our food, and the microwave was in an odd spot above the fridge, which other reviewers commented on. We just used paper plate we had brought and got by ok. The deck was lovely, and what a view! This cabin is old and not perfect, but it’s clean and you can’t beat this location right on the river in Yosemite. You’d fall asleep to the sound of rushing water outside. The kids even went tubing and jumped into the river off the rock in the backyard. We had an amazing vacation and enjoyed our stay here a lot. A few little updates would make it even better though, and we’d love to be back!

Great location

Great location but cabin could be updated and cleaned better. There were dirty washcloths in bathroom and dirty bath mats hanging outside. The bedrooms with the king downstairs is very small and the kitchen counter space is tiny. There is an odd and pervasive smell too.. but the location is great. The decks fabulous and the beds comfortable. Just needs some housekeeping attention and the smells addressed.

Not as advertised; excessive extra charges

1. Photo showed three sets of bunkbeds -- only 2 sets with a mattress on the floor. 10th member of our family had to sleep on the living room couch. I was billed for "extra guests" -- not fair since one had to sleep on floor and the other on living room couch with no curtains for privacy from outside neighbors or sun. 2. Maid didn't make up all the beds because there weren't enough sheets. We searched, including utility room outside next to jacuzzi, & found several trash bags with some sheets and bedding. Then, we had to make beds ourselves. Sleeping bags and mats that owner said we could use were not there & cleaning woman knew nothing about them. 3. Power went out. Phone calls to utility company found that there was a "problem with the billing" and only the owner could take care of it. Multiple phone calls and messages to owner before he responded. He did whatever he needed to do to get the power turned on. 4. Local phone number given to us for emergencies was out of order. In spite of repeated requests for owner to give us a local number to take care of emergency, he never did. 5. Owner needs to inventory supplies. 6. Location great. Lots to do in southern part of Yosemite to avoid the crowds in the village. Able to jump off rock into slow part of the river, & tube a short way & land on the beach in front of the yard. Steps going to beach steep, coming loose & dangerous. 7. Pine Tree Market people very friendly & market had whatever we needed.

Great location, needs a lot of improvement.

The location is perfect although we could not enjoy the river as it was raging with the snow run off. However, that being said and the cost of the cabin,I feel that I must point out some of these things that needs improvement. Upon arrival we found the windows to be dirty as well as the floors and stairs. The stove was dirty and tiny, I could not imagine cooking in the oven, with only one rack. Pans are terrible, one has a broken handle that you could not use, one was scratched so bad it was unusable, the only good one was the cast iron skillet. The kettle leaked from the spout on the neck, kitchen knives are blunt and worn, no silicone spatula to cook with (probably why the non stick pans are so scratched) No wooden spoons either which would have helped. Microwave above a full sized fridge? Unless you are 7ft you have to stand on a stool to use the micro. No water from the fridge and no ice maker (both listed in the add) Furniture badly worn and torn. Dirty draws in every room, no closet to hang our clothes in the upstairs master. Most outlets are broken and do not hold the plug in (safety risk at best) Master hand held shower head not working, along with a slow draining sink. Stained toilet downstairs, light bulbs out. Steps to the river are missing near the bottom. Sink drainer needs replaced. The listing said 3 sets of bunk beds and only 2 are there. IMHO, disappointed at best. Not worth the money. I did contact the host and I believe he is unaware of these problem

Great location right on river!

The location of this cabin is tremendous, right on the river. Beautiful views and several really nice decks to sit on and enjoy the views. However, the photos were a bit misleading and not representative of what the cabin actually looked like. The kitchen was hard to work with, no food storage, the microwave was above the refrigerator so super hard to reach since it was so high. Very old gas stove, with an oven that seemed to only have one temperature. Not enough dishes if you actually had 10 people in the cabin. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs with a pretty steep set of stairs. Wouldn't be great for small children or the elderly. Cabin generally needed a little TLC, lots of burned out light bulbs, etc. There is a jacuzzi which is a nice touch but no operating instructions as far as I could tell. I know it's really old cabin which I don't mind at all, but some of the things could have very easily been taken care of with a little attention to detail.

Great vacation spot

Rustic cabin with a great view. The decks are great for eating, relaxing and enjoying the view. The swim spot below the cabin was a highlight of the trip. It’s easy to get to several hikes from this location. The kitchen and eating area are a little tight for a larger party. This wouldn’t be a problem in warmer months because of the outdoor eating arrangement, but something to consider in colder months. Beds sleep great and the bathrooms were fine for our party of 9. 4 adults and 5 kids.
