It is located on the less populated south side of the Merced River where you'll enjoy the peaceful beauty and seclusion. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a dishwasher. A washer & dryer give you the comforts of home while on vacation! The living room includes a wood stove (firewood provided in season), satellite TV, and WiFi. This cabin features two decks. The top deck has an incredible unobstructed view of Yosemite forests, and the lower deck is perfect for those warmer summer days when you prefer the shade to rest, read, or watch the kids while they play outside. This home is located just one mile behind the historic Wawona Hotel, History Center, Golf Course, and a Market, and is less than 30 minutes from Yosemite Ski and Snowboard area! It makes a wonderful home base while you explore and play in Yosemite. The cabin has A/C No Pets Allowed. "EV Charging Station available within five miles of the cabin" 2 Bedrooms - 1 Full and 1 Half Bath - Sleeps 5 - Bi-Level - Bronze rated - 1,178 Sq. Ft. - 442 Sq. Ft. Deck 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 in their language 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 120 vacation rental homes and is proud to say that all of them are located in Wawona. All are within walking distance to everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Electric car charging station - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,178 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33490000/33482100/33482009/cc2ce8f8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### (8) Nugent's Nest at The Redwoods In Yosemite Wawona - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 9.2 Wonderful 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=33482009&PinnedHotelID=33482009&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34180000/34170700/34170667/9fc9097b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stay Inside Yosemite National Park!

We had to wait for over one hour for the cabin to be cleaned before we could check in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was nice with plenty of room. The cabin is in desperate need of a good deep cleaning, it was dirty. The furniture needs updating.The TV did not work. The maintenance people fixed the tv promptly after our call. This cabin has a lot of potential. It has been neglected for years. It could be a great cabin if it was fixed up. Beautiful location and very peaceful. We would not stay there again. I could not recommend anyone to stay there until they clean it up and fix it up. Thanks! ##### Craig B.

It is inside the park so you don’t have to wait in the long lines to get into Yosemite. It is an hour from the valley. It is a beautiful drive and it was nice to be away from the crowds. The neighbors are so friendly and the woman at the general store was so warm and helpful. There are hikes in the area; Chilnualna and the swinging bridge were a short car ride. We were able to get groceries in Oakhurst which is 30 minutes away. Make sure to get everything you need at the store as the cabin only supplied a small amount of toilet paper and garbage bags. No condiments. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I love that the property was inside the park.

The wood burning fire stove was a plus and really made the experience cozy. The cabin is in a more secluded part and really felt private.

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer A. 17 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Last Available Cabin We booked this cabin because it was literally the last available cabin in Wawona during our travel dates. If you have this cabin on a hot summer day, know that it stays hot inside for most of the day on the 2nd floor (there's one floor fan for the living room and a ceiling fan in the bedroom). The well-stocked kitchen was a nice touch. We stayed here during Covid and a bottle of hand sanitizer and cleaning spray were provided for us, but no hand soap. There's also a strict 10am check-out, and check-in begins no earlier than 4pm. We weren't able to check in until a little after 5pm because the cabin wasn't ready yet. Overall, it was an okay experience. ##### Jennifer A. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janice P. 4 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Location #### Hot August Vacation Clean. Spacious. Warm. Sturdy. The woods surrounding the property contained tons of decaying logs. The highway (41) leading to the property and surrounding the property were also depressing: miles of burnt forest and decaying wood. We felt like we were driving into a scene from the movie, "Deliverance". Indoors, everything was intact. Comfy beds, good fridge and stove. But... no A/C. We knew this, but it being in a Mountain area, we believed it wouldn't be hot. It was in the 100's. To enjoy our vacation, we stayed indoors until it became hot. Then, we closed windows and shutters to keep the heat out. We went to the river to cool down. Around 6 pm, we returned, and turned on the fan. Around 8 or 9 pm, it began to cool down, and we opened the windows. After that, it became cooler. I don't have a problem with this, except we paid $450.00 per nite for this accommodation. We could have flown to Hawaii and stayed in an air conditioned condo. No, I won't rent from these people again, I won't recommend it to anyone, and I won't recommend YNP because the forest is seriously compromised. Not the Yosemite I knew and enjoyed years ago. Yosemite is in decline! ##### Janice P.

So very positive experience. ##### Evgeny K. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Katharine W., UK 5 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful woodland location. A functional, clean base with lovely wood burning stove and everything needed for your Yosemite family stay and lovely woods to explore right outside the cabin. Worked for us with an 8,5&3 year old. Fittings a little tired and nothing fancy but kitchen well equipped and everything you need for a base for an outdoorsy short break. It takes just under an hour to the Visitor Center in Yosemite in good weather and very light traffic but obviously very convenient for Wawona explorations and Mariposa Grove. Don’t misread the house number as two numbers instead of a number and a letter like us. We must have driven past it several times In the dark before realising our error! Overall a comfortable stay in a lovely secluded wooded location. ##### Katharine W.

Lovely location. Nothing fancy, but perfect for us. The only problem was check in... We arrived after hours (dark) and had much difficulty finding the cabin. Thankfully, one of the property managers met us and took us there. Maybe better signage for the properties... Thank you ##### Patricia G.

Not great for a short stay as it is quite far from the valley, took us about 1 hour each day. If you have more time, like a week or so and can take a couple days off to explore the area around the house, than that works. House could benefit from some updates interior and exterior and some of the neighboring homes look run down. ##### David C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William M. 10 Aug 2018 #### Private cabin with nice view of the woods, not too far from Yosemite Valley We enjoyed Cecil's Cabin for 4 nights in July (before the Ferguson Fire started). Although it was a 30 minute drive to Yosemite Valley, we also appreciated the peace and quiet that would not have been the case had we stayed in the Valley. The furnishings were pretty basic, but the cabin had most everything we needed. The view from the back deck was very restful, and except for one cabin in sight (with no occupant when we were there), all other cabins were far away. The downstairs bedroom was great for the teens, as it was a separate domain, along with half bath and door to the bottom part of the deck. If you want the feel of way out in the woods without really being that far from the main road (just a couple of minutes from Route 41), this is a very good choice. ##### William M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie S. 13 Jun 2018 #### Cecil's Cabin was wonderful! The cabin was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. It was secluded in a beautiful wooded lot; saw deer right off the deck area! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. Hiking trails nearby were incredible with the waterfalls to view. Wildflowers everywhere. Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely stay there again; I would recommend Cecil's Cabin to everyone! ##### Debbie S.

Although this cabin is a 35-40 minute drive from Yosemite Valley we were happy to be there. We have visited Yosemite many times and were happy to explore Wawona and that part of the Park. The cabin was clean and comfortable, the property managers were very, very helpful and overall I would recommend. ##### Faith A.

Only problem was a cheapy toaster that consistently burned the toast and set off the fire alarm. Otherwise fine. ##### Paul N.

We enjoyed 3 fabulous days exploring Wawona and the Valley of Yosemite. Hiking to the swinging bridge and then sliding down the rocks and swimming in the river were a big hit. Junior Ranger badges were earned and the accomplishment of hiking to the top of Vernal Falls were all made possible by our wonderful retreat we called home. We covered the patio table with butcher paper and had our own outdoor pleine art studio.---wonderful paintings occurred. It's worth the effort to get to this special cabin.
