the property was great for the 3 adults we had traveling, clean, gorgeous views and good kitchen. The host is responsive and we had everything we needed. our only comment is the comfort of the couch. since our stay was in winter over xmas, we spent time indoors at night and the couch was not ideal for football and movie watching.
Beautiful location with the sights and sounds of the full river in the “backyard”. It’s as the photos show - felt like a trusty old family getaway. Owner was quite responsive.
We loved our stay here. It would be hard to top the splendor of Yosemite but coming “home” to this cabin was close. It was so peaceful and beautiful! The river rushing by the property, the brilliant stars at night, drinking our morning coffee on the deck with the river our view…wow! It doesn’t really get any better.
I had a great stay at Kip’s place. The cabin was exactly as described in the posting. It’s easy access to Yosemite, and the location looking down on the creek was incredibly relaxing. Thanks for a great trip!
It was a wonderful place to stay in. Beautiful, peaceful place next to the river; with trails and a store to walk to and from. Kip was very helpful and welcoming. And all the wonders of Yosemite right beside !
This home has it all. The location inside the park makes for an easy drive to Yosemite Valley for hiking and to Badger Pass for fun in the snow. We all enjoyed the views from the home overlooking the river. It was chilly outside so we didn’t use the huge deck much but felt as if we were outside because the f the huge windows. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable
This place was great! Its right on the river and was a great place to come back to after a long hike. It's also right by a little market that had all the things we needed when we ran out of something. I would stay here again.
Great house with views for days in a great little neighborhood within the park. Kip is very communicative. Great nature hike right outside the back door.
Nice house, comfortable bed, enjoyable deck for afternoons by the river. We were there in April, used the upstairs master, since it was low-30’s at night, and upstairs was warmer.
We liked having Wawona as our base. Local shopping at Pine Tree Market served our needs. We liked the selections, but Wawona Grocery, near the Wawona Hotel, another option. Don’t overlook Wawona Hotel Restaurant, we had great meals there.
10/10. We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Riverside Retreat. Communication and instructions were great. The view of the river from the back windows and deck was peaceful and serene. We look forward to the time when we could stay there agin
Had a wonderful stay at Kip’s house. Communication was very easy and he’s very quick to respond. The house has a beautiful view of the river. Will book again. Thanks!
The cabin is beautiful and the location is even better! You get a great view of the forest and river from the balcony. Highly recommend. The check in process was smooth and the hosts provided clear instructions.
