Combined they are 6 bedrooms, now available to be booked together for up 16 guests, a perfect location for multiple families, reunions, weddings, and retreats. River Lodge is a spacious, 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathrooms, recently upgraded home that sleeps up to 12 guests - perfect for several families or a family reunion. The well-maintained home has large picture windows and a spacious deck that overlooks the wild and scenic south fork of the Merced River. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen is equipped with an 8 burner Wolf range, double ovens, two dishwashers, a large island for preparing meals, and all cookware, dishes, and eating utensils for a big group. The living room boasts a beautiful rock fireplace (wood provided in season), a satellite flat-screen TV, and WiFi. The downstairs family room has a TV and DVD player. The deck has a sweeping view of the meadow and river, a hammock, lounge chairs, picnic tables & chairs, and a gas BBQ - perfect for outdoor grilling and al fresco dining. Located at the end of the road, it is very quiet and just steps away from a couple of great swimming holes. Enjoy the sounds of the river, the smells of the forest, and spectacular views from River Lodge year-round. The cabin has a washer/dryer, central heat, A/C, and a generator in case of outages. EV Charging Station available within 1/4 mile of the cabin. No pets allowed, No Smoking. 6 Bedrooms - 4.5 Bathrooms Sleeps 16 -2646 Sq. Ft. - 1036 S. Ft, Deck About the Area Nestled just 4 miles inside the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is the charming and historic town of Wawona. Located at the base of Chilnualna Falls (the second highest vertical drop waterfall in Yosemite), and home to the principal trailheads into the southern Yosemite wilderness, Wawona is also the closest town to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. 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 historic 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 of everything that Wawona has to offer and every one of them is surrounded by the majesty of Yosemite National Park.
