Family Friendly Cabin Rental Inside Yosemite National Park for a California Getaway

Description

A Cabin Retreat by the River that can sleep 8 people and boasts 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathroom, a kitchen, and all the modern amenities to feel at home.

If you want a taste of Yosemite from your living room chair…come to this gorgeous cabin in the tiny community of Wawona just inside Yosemite National Park. Nestled amongst the towering pines and whispy cedars on Chilnualna Lane, this sunlit retreat will fill you with a deep sense of rest and quiet appreciation. The living room's floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the forest and the river beyond. Nature is just a pane of glass away. While sipping morning tea, you may watch the squirrels scampering across the pine needles, the blackbirds winging through the trees, the spring wildflowers in the native grass, or an occasional coyote crossing the land. In the summer, you may gather your beach chair, towel, and inner tube and take a 2-minute walk down a dirt path to the jumping rock and swimming hole in the South Fork of the Merced River. In winter, you may come in from skiing at nearby Badger Pass, warm your hands with a steaming beverage, and watch the snowflakes sifting down while preparing supper.

Margaret, a teacher, worked summers during the '50s at the Wawona Hotel and saved enough to buy two adjacent lots at the end of Chilnualna Lane. She built a tiny, one-bedroom cabin that she visited often to fish, golf, and enjoy nature with friends and family. When the original house burned down in 2018, her family envisioned a new cabin offering the same cozy feeling but with a southern-facing great room and kitchen, letting in more light and giving a bigger view of nature.
