Authentic & superb stay at Wawona

So close to Wawona, the Pika house is full of 70’s charm. Spaciously nested just a minutes drive away from the Wawona hotel, we were struck by the high quality vintage decor, look and feel of the property. Would sure stay again, we loved it!!

Although a little dated, we had a lovely time staying at this property!! The location was perfect for the hiking, horse back riding, and swimming that we planned and the host was very communicative during our stay. The only thing I would recommend is having some flashlights around the house (unless we just didn't see them). The whole area lost power our last night and we were at the mercy of our cell phone lights :) but were able to take advantage of their board game collection. Thank you for having us!!

Perfect Location

What a wonderful place to stay while visiting Yosemite! I HIGHLY recommend staying inside the park to avoid the crazy long entry lines each day. This place was perfect. And there are plenty of fun things to do nearby: Chilnualna Falls, the swinging bridge, Wawona History Center and more.

This is a lovely place to stay for a quiet visit to Yosemite. A drive to the valley but worth it as we could escape the crowds and really get away from it all. Good facilities. Handy local shop and delightful dark skies. Highly recommend for a family.

Yosemite family trip

Loved the location, the space, and ability to do laundry after 6 days on the road. Michelle and Peter were quick to respond to any concerns and checkout was easy and low-stress. Appreciated having enough room for us and our two young adult children to spread out. Enjoyed some time on the deck but spent most of the time exploring Yosemite. Oh! Also like the history center right there in Wawona. It was nice to do something close to home base after a full morning/early afternoon in the valley. Thanks for helping us make our trip memorable!

A lovely place. Everything is at the right place. Considerate and cozy. There is a small market nearby selling fruits, vegetables,..... Chilnualna Falls is only .3 miles away. We only went to lower falls this time. It's a very nice trail and seems not an easy one. Next time we will get to the upper falls.
