Family-friendly holiday rentals in Wawona

We felt like Home. This place was amazing. Especially using the Jacuzzi after a long day in a National Park. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it.

Our family didn’t want to leave! The river/waterfall outside is gorgeous, and gives such a peaceful sound that can be heard up at the house. We brought out 4 kids and they loved the playground, waterfall, private bedrooms, and board games. Beautiful kitchen as well!

Terri reached out and made sure we made it safely. The home was very relaxing and peaceful with the hot tub, hammock and surrounded by trees. The pickleball court, tether ball, air hockey and table soccer were nice additives for entertainment. We booked this place to relax after our planned trip to Yosemite, the hot tub helped a ton with recovering our sore muscles from the intense hike. There is a binder with instructions for check out and any extra info we might need, I loved the fact that there is restaurant recommendations and even an itinerary for Yosemite in that binder for anybody that stays there and doesn’t know what’s around. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others! I appreciate the extra detail in recommendations and messages making sure we are safe and comfortable during our stay!

Awesome place, place matched to every detail in the listing. If you are looking for a quite getaway after all day hiking in yosemite, this is your place to chill.

We were fortunate to find Cabernet's house at the last min while looking for a place to ring in 2025. Nestled at the top of the perimeter of the Yosemite valley in Oakhurst, the house is a rare find. The weather was beautiful, we got to breath refreshing fresh air and got to enjoy all the amenities at the place. Things we enjoyed. <> Wood burning indoor fireplace. The house was nice and toasty. Perfect for end of Dec/Jan temperatures. <> Large fenced yard for our fur babies. I must say this was the highlight of the trip as it's not easy to find properties that have a completely fenced backyard. Our two husky girls sure enjoyed running around a clean grassy hard. Thank you or WOOF WOOF ! <> Beautiful furniture, clean carpets, well stocked kitchens with a lots of pots and pans to cook. <> Cabernet is super responsive. Very happy about this since a host that communicates well makes the entire experience special ! Thanks Cabernet. Looking forward to visiting again !

Stayed for a couple of nights with my parents. Had a lovely stay. The house was clean and had all resources. Enjoyed the surroundings, beautiful for walks.

Valerie's place was perfect for our stay to visit Yosemite. It wasn't our first time staying in Mariposa and we knew exactly where we wanted to be in town to walk to restaurants, the grocery store, and shops. The grill was in excellent condition with all of the necessary tools which we used frequently during our stay. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and we appreciated our stay there! I would recommend staying here to others and stay here again!

This is a perfect location, close to the lake and not far from all the necessities you might want to purchase while you are there. There are boat rentals and restaurants nearby, lots of beautiful Bass Lake beaches to choose from, and boat rentals too! Wendy's home is cozy, private, and has everything you might need for your stay.

Overall, the stay was quite pleasant and matched the description provided by the host. This place served as a convenient stopover for our trip from SFO airport to Yosemite. (Just a tip for future travelers: be sure to download offline maps in advance, as there may be no signal along the way.) A couple of areas could be improved: the master bathroom was closed, which was a bit inconvenient, and it would be great to have a dishwasher, cauz hand washing dishes didn’t feel very hygienic.

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet, peaceful. Beautiful view from the patio overlooking the Lake. Would definitely return in the future. The family would all go there own ways during the day hiking and sight seeing then return and gather on the patio deck over looking the lake, very nice!

The house is great! It’s quiet and spacious. It’s about an hour and some minutes away from the arch rock entrance to Yosemite but it’s a nice drive. Don’t expect signal or wifi while you drive. The house is big and can fit about 4-6 people maybe more if people are bunking together. The kitchen is huge! I love the history of the house it used to be restaurant so I guess that’s why the kitchen is huge. The beds are warm and comfortable, those space heaters are magicians because they work so well!! Only issue was the dishwasher, which we never used, but Nicole was responsive even though it was Christmas Day (thank you again Nicole!) Overall cute house near Yosemite it’s rustic and has all the amenities. Would happily stay here again!

The location is in a quiet rural neighborhood near a creek. The grounds are woodsy with lots of lovely plants and a hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window. Upon arrival we found fresh baked cookies and fresh cut little flower bouquets. Walking down by the creek scratched our itch for our love of the mountain creeks near our favorite camping area. Inside is a cozy mix of Victorian cottage and modern amenities. It’s close to town for shopping and dining options. Yosemite National Park is an easy 1-1/2 hours away. Kadi is a great host!

We absolutely loved Heather’s place for our three day visit to Yosemite. There were three of us, and we all had plenty of room, but honestly, we could have brought our daughter’s family with husband and two more kids, and they would have had enough room, as well. We made breakfast in the home, and we packed our lunches for Yosemite. We had everything we needed for making meals and eating in. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and taking in the awesome valley view, especially at sunset. We were able to walk around the property, though it starts out a little steep for walking, and we took pictures of the woodpeckers and California Quails nearby. Heather helped us with some Yosemite tips before we came, and we were able to plan our trip well with her knowledge. She also checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was ok. We really liked this home, and it added to our overall trip.

We absolutely loved Mariposa Ridge Retreat! The views of Yosemite's granite peaks were stunning, and the house was cozy and fully equipped. The deck with a hot tub and BBQ was a highlight. The drive was easy, and the nearby village of Mariposa was charming. Perfect for a peaceful getaway. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was perfect for our group of seven. Everthing was clean and organized. Although we only stayed a few days, we enjoyed the firepit and bbq and the beautiful rustic wooded environment. We also appreciated that the south entance of Yosemite Nat'l Park is only about 30 minutes away. You can tell that our host Heather really cares about her guests having a great stay. Also, after learning that we had left a cell phone in a bedroom Heather got the phone quickly sent back to us. We were so grateful!

Beautiful property! Amy and Josh were very responsive. The airbnb was well stocked as well. We had some Difficulty with heating the house but it was better on the second day.

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

This place is beautiful, peaceful, and so much fun. It was a great place to stay with our family. We loved the pool and the pickleball court. It was also very convenient to drive to Yosemite. Thank you Bruce for being a great host!

Jeff and Gina were great hosts. Responsive and friendly. Close to Yosemite. The kids loved the game room, beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you’d need.

Beth was an amazing host and the place had everything you will need to feel like home. We had a couple of deers that visited us and that made my day . At night you can sit on the porch and stargazing. Beautiful property . We will definitely come back

Fantastic place! So many excellent little touches! The pool and hot tub were perfect temp, the view was great, the food/treats were a great addition, and the place was super cozy. We loved the place/host and would for sure stay again.

Rhonda’s place was an excellent stay for us. It was clean and comfortable - although because of the size of the space we would recommend only for two instead of three like we had. Access to the pool and outside area made for a very relaxing environment for us. As described, there is no kitchenette so it’s minimal in that way. Our daughter enjoyed Frankie, their super friendly dog.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

We loved our stay here. We were welcomed as we first arrived and were shown around the property and made sure to know how to use all the great amenities this beautiful home has to offer. The jacuzzi and pool were amazing after a long day of hiking. And we felt at home with this amazing stay.
