All Yosemite highlights could be reached within 45 minutes.

My family and I had an enjoyable stay in Cabin 12R. We liked the location within Wawona- on a hill with space from neighboring cabins. We also liked being inside Yosemite Park boundaries. It is about an hour drive to Yosemite Valley, so plan accordingly. Biking around the valley was a lot of fun and the way to go in our opinion. Spending half a day in Mariposa Grove hiking is a great option too. There are VERY few dining options near the cabin in Wawona so plan to purchase all of your food for all meals and snacks in Oakhurst. There are a couple stores in Wawona, but they mostly carry the basics. We’d recommend this cabin when traveling to Yosemite.

Overall the property was nice and well maintained. Here are my thoughts on our stay in no particular order: - I knew we were staying 40 mins from the valley floor. I thought it was fine but looking back I wish we were closer. - The place has a hot tub, that I don't think was listed but I had read in another review. That was a bonus when we confirmed there was one for us to use. - The place wasn't ready for us when we arrived at 4:00. However the front desk was very nice and provided us ice for our groceries. - The house is located at the end of a street so no thru traffic and made it feel a little bit more secluded even with the other houses nearby. The neighborhood was so quiet it was completely peaceful. - All basic cooking supplies were included. - The house sleeps six but we only had enough towels for 4. You can get a towel exchange but that requires going to the check in office to make the swap. The house does come with a washer and dryer however, there is no starter pack. - We had only 1/2 a used paper towel roll available to us. Again, I'm sure we could have gone down to the check in office to get more but we were only staying a couple of nights. - Grill was basically new and worked great. - The upstairs shower door is a barn door. There are gaps so you can still see in/out. - The pictures are accurate to the place. - I think other reviewers mentioned this but yes, their pillows are terrible. If you're picky be prepared.

The house was advertized with washer/dryer but the dryer did not work and we were not notified. Also, the beds were rocks and the pillows were very uncomfortable.
