About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stay Inside Yosemite National Park! No separate park reservation required.

IMPORTANT: We do not accept third party bookings. The person whose name is on the reservation must be staying at the property.

$375 per night for 2 - 6 guests, plus 13.5% county tax, $120 housekeeping fee and VRBO's fee.

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home sleeps up to six guests maximum. We cannot accomodate more than 6 guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with all cooking and dining needs, including a dishwasher. The living room has a flat screen satellite TV with local and national channels, a DVD player, and WiFi. The private deck has deck furniture, and a gas BBQ for grilling your favorite meals and eating outside!

Wawona is inside Yosemite National Park, near the south entrance to the park and Mariposa Grove. Enjoy huge swimming holes in the South Fork of the Merced River (walking distance from the house!), hiking to Chilnualna Falls, the historic Wawona Hotel the Wawona Golf Course, Wawona Stables, Swinging Bridge and much more!

Wawona is an hour drive to Yosemite Valley attractions and Glacier Point.

Minimum age of primary renter: 25.

If our cabin and Yosemite are accessible, we do not cancel, modify, or refund reservations based on smoke, which is a very common occurrence in Yosemite each summer. This policy is consistent with all vacation rentals in Yosemite West.

Please note that our house has stairs which may be difficult for elderly folks and small children. We have a vacation home in Yosemite West, the Hummingbird Pines House (VRBO 470093) is more suited to elderly guests as it has only 2 steps into the house and bedrooms on the ground floor.

We accept dogs on a case by case basis. We do NOT automatically accept all dogs. We only accept dogs who are not left unattended in the house or on the deck. There is also a fee of $100 + 13.5% county tax required for one dog.

Minimum stay of 2 nights.

There are two bedrooms, each with one queen size bed. A convertible sofa-bed in the living room sleeps 1 to 2 more guests. Note: we cannot accommodate more than 6 guests at a time.

This house is equipped with a full kitchen and a large dining table. There is a bbq and dining furniture on the deck, which is a wonderful place to enjoy dinner and watch the sunset.

The Hummingbird Pika House has air conditioning, as well as individual room fans.

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.

Google Maps worked well for us. The place was very clean. Check-in was pretty easy. Wonderful neighborhood. There is a small grocery store nearby that saved us a trip outside the park. The only issue was that AC would not work, it got hot inside the property in the evening and at night. We just opened some windows and handled the heat.

Nice and comfortable house close to nature
The house is nice and comfortable with excellent AC system, comfortable beds, enough space to gather 6 people, fully equipped kitchen. The location is great. It’s very peaceful, quite with a lot of possibilities for hiking and enjoying the nature. The description of the house in listing is very accurate and it met our expectations. The hosts provided us with helpful tips. We will stay here again! Thank you!

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!!

North Wawona stay
Property is spacious with 2 bedrooms. Inside the park, so no long lines to enter the park each day, though it is about 45 minutes away from Yosemite Valley. Only issue was with the hot water (too hot and uncontrollable in master bath), which owner promised to address after being notified. Owner was responsive to all messages.

Great location
The house is in a great location, walkable to market as well as a beautiful waterfall and river area to explore. Peaceful area inside the gate and about 30 minutes to the Valley floor. Great time relaxing and enjoying nature. Kitchen has everything you need.

Great spot in the woods
Michelle and Pete's place is the perfect place to get in and out of Yosemite. The listing is exactly as described and we had no problems finding it or getting in. The beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed for the stay. Would stay again for sure!
