I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun and memorable to do. The horses are clearly well cared for, and the staff takes the time to provide practice and training before heading out on the trail, which made the ride enjoyable and comfortable for everyone. The trail ride itself was amazing, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Thank you all so much for such a wonderful day. I can't wait to come back!

Who knew there was a little town inside Yosemite National Park where you can find cabins to rent?…read more Turns out, The Redwoods in Yosemite is a property management company that handles rentals of approximately 120 different cabins throughout the small town of Wawona in southern Yosemite. Over the Labor Day holiday we had a neat experience with Cabin 53. It had all of the basics that you could need and was cute and clean, and had decking all around. It was surrounded by a few other cabins and some nice pine trees. Staff from the Redwoods were friendly, accommodating, and responsive. There were many different sizes and types of cabins available, so both small and large groups can be accommodated. Unfortunately our cabin had a couple minor issues which couldn't be resolved, though they did try. The Redwoods community is located a short distance off the 41 in South Yosemite. It was still about 45 minutes to the main valley area, but it also had lots of neat things nearby as well. Still better than many options outside the park. Value was decent and we didn't feel like we were overcharged. This is a great option if you are looking for something a bit different to add that rustic cabin stay to your Yosemite trip.

I've stayed here twice at cabin 20B in the Redwoods and created so many memories in such a short…read moretime. The first was in 2021 and the most recent one was this past weekend in 2025. I have so much to talk about but I'll stick to what's important. First off, The Redwoods In Yosemite is an hour out from Yosemite Valley still. This can be a deal breaker for some especially if you're seeking for convenience and accessibility to the park. For me however the space and comfort meant more so thats why I chose these cabins. (Three bathrooms definitely come in handy) The plus side is you can do Yosemite Valley all in one day and split your trip the other day to see The Grizzly Giant and Mariposa grove. (Which is literally down the road from these cabins) Also I would like to thank the Redwoods staff for being very accommodating of our situation. Our original plans in September fell through during the Gifford fires and AQI was around 400-800 in Yosemite and Mariposa. They helped us reschedule to October with no additional cost. We are very thankful for this because we deal with an autoimmune disease that would make this trip dangerous. Our weekend was magical because of this reschedule. But let's talk about the cabin itself. Here at We-Dunn-It, it fits a party of 6 and is considered one of the older cabins here at the Redwoods. But just because it's old it doesn't mean it's not comfortable. They have a room for kids with a bunk bed, the master bed room and a third room downstairs that is nice and private. Each room is retrofitted with a heater/ac system so you are comfortable in Yosemite's hottest days and coldest nights. Even with this past weekend dipping into the 40's, we were very comfortable during our stay. As for amenities this cabin is well stocked with all the necessities you need. From dinnerware, kitchenware and cutlery, you can almost find everything you need here for your stay besides personal toiletries. The fridge, oven and microwave have been updated since my stay in 2021 which means the cabin owner takes really good care of their property. Last but not least let's talk about cleanliness. I never had a pest problem like the other reviews with other cabins on here, but you do get the occasional gnats that fly in. (Understandable because you are located in the middle of the woods still) The big thing I want to emphasize is because you are still in the middle of the woods whether you feel like it or not you should respect the grounds/house rules. This includes taking out your own trash and leaving no trace behind. It was magical to walk out of my cabin and be greeted with a sitting brown black bear. It was also a reminder that you need to do your part in order to keep these bears safe and wild. Please take out your trash immediately after you leave and dump them at the appropriate trash cans around the town. Now with all the great things this cabin provided I do have a bit of feedback for it. The first was we found some chip crumbs by the trashcan upon our arrival. Which meant it wasn't swept properly before us coming in. It was no big deal but the minor missed attention to detail caused me to reconsider if the rest of the cabin was properly cleaned. Last was the amount of dust in the cabin. After my stay in 2021 I learned from my lesson to bring an air purifier for my allergies. Thankfully this came in handy and made my latest stay more comfortable. I will say although there was less dust floating around, the bed frames still had a lot of dust and crumbs in its edges. This was a bit off putting especially when Im inspecting for bed bugs. Plus the throw pillows on the bed poofed tons of dust as we were moving them off the bed. We highly recommend just getting rid of these entirely because they seem uncleaned and unsanitary. Overall I would still highly recommend The Redwoods for your stay, and looking forward to potentially staying at the other cabins. Its proximity and space from Yosemite makes it the perfect spot for your family vacation.

We arrive at Minarets Pack Station with all our gear the day before our hike in. Mikki has an amazing dinner prepared for us. This year it was massive ribeye steaks. So good! We enjoy a lovely meal in the big house together giddy with anticipation about our camping trip. Afterwards we retire to one of the pack stations super comfortable glamping tents for the night. We sleep like babies on super comfortable warm beds. We wake up bright and early and put our gear on the mule loading dock. Mikki provides us with a wonderful huge breakfast and we set off to hike in to our chosen lake. The mules bring our gear up which arrives a little after we do and we live like kings on our own private lake for a week or two. It is absolute heaven. I cant say enough about Mikki and Tracy they are so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere at the pack station is lovely, with a beautiful green pasture surrounded by fir trees. The food and accommodations are over the top. Staying the first night at the station is 1000 times better than a crappy motel in sweaty Oakhurst
