Spacious place for friends to gather while visiting Yosemite.

We stayed this home for eight nights in November 2023. It has the advantage of being located inside of the parks south entrance gate. It is close to Mariposa Grove and a couple of trails in the Wanona area. There is a small market in the neighborhood which is quite handy. It is approximately 40 minute driving from this house into the Yosemite Valley. The house is large and well-equipped for all indoor activities, including a downstairs game area with bumper pool. The kitchen is very well equipped, although the pots and pans are worn out. Two bedrooms are on the main floor with the kitchen and living room and two more bedrooms are down below on the ground floor. Being able to park in the garage is a plus. There were some minor issues with heating as the batteries in the thermostats were depleted, but we were able to self correct these. The host was responsive to all inquiries. Be advised that the entire house is carpeted, and those are sensitive to dust may be affected by this.

Lots of room and loved the layout of the house with lots of different different levels. There is everything you need for a family to gather and relax after a full day of hiking and activities in Yosemite, which you are in.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Summit House. We enjoyed that it was inside the park gates, which helped expedite getting around inside the park during our visit. The house accommodated our group well, and we enjoyed being able to cook and eat at the house and have a special gathering as we were at Yosemite for a memorial for a loved one. This house was in good shape and had everything we needed. I would recommend this to other folks considering a stay inside Yosemite Park.

We had our family up in Wawona for 4 days. Nice home with plenty of room and well supplied. Had small problem with the air conditioner, but the management company responded quickly. Would definitely recommend.

This house had ample number of bedrooms/beds and common spaces for our family. Very comfortable. The owner was responsive to any questions we had. I would recommend this property for a family gathering.

The place was beautiful and in a beautiful location.

Our family has stayed at the Summit House many times, and we absolutely love it. The multiple levels are perfect for a large family or two families to stay together but have enough space. One consideration- the driveway leading up to the property is steep and there are many stairs, so older family members may have a harder time. The kitchen has everything needed (including a new crock pot) and two large fridge/freezers. The only thing I’d change are the mattresses- they are very firm and we are used to a softer mattress. We loved our stay at the Summit House and hope to come back soon!

We have been to Yosemite more than 20 times in the last 10 years and I must admit this is one of the best places we have stayed. Amazing architecture, amazing view, exceptional cleanliness.

We vacationed in this home late June-early july with three parents and 7 kids aged 19-3. The house was wonderful. Being inside the park boundaries is great! The neighborhood the home is in has a small Market just down the street with many items and a park ranger was at this market most evenings doing fun programs. Would definitely rent this house again!

Great property in a great location. The house needs some maintenance as the sliding door leading on to the deck was off the track and the door latch was broken. Also there were nail heads protruding from the deck. These are minor issues and were managable for our stay but should be addressed. Overall a great visit.

This is a great property to base yourself at for exploring the Yosemite area. Plenty of room for people to spread out in the house with living rooms and lofts on 3 levels. Clean and comfortable!

We had a great time celebrating my father in laws birthday. This is the perfect house for a family to share. Plenty of common space. Great location. Highly recommend.

It was a good location for traveling to the Yosemite Valley as well as Bass lake. Helpful folks in the community. We found a lovely waterfall just minutes from the house.

Enjoyed our stay…comfortable and beautiful. Had no hot water until we figured out how to light the pilot just before the property manager got back to us on day two. It’s not hard if you read instructions.

The house is stunning and because of multi levels there are many places for alone/quiet activities as well as comfortable group spaces. The kitchen is exceedingly well equipped even for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Our whole family appreciated the architecture, the floor plan, the multiple decks, etc. in this beautiful well-equipped cabin that afforded lots of privacy at the top of a quiet neighborhood. The hosts were understanding and patient with questions I had!

Great location. The layout made for great privacy when you want it and great get together space as well. Was clean and easy to deal with.

Great place!! Had a great time!!

Nice clean and spacious. Wish we had a longer vacation.

This was a beautifully located home with ample space for our group of 10. Being inside Yosemite Park was a big help to avoid lines too. There is a market down the street which came in very handy. The home itself was well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. It would have been nice to have a tv in the living area for everyone to be able to sit together. The cleaning procedures were a little difficult, having to wash your dishes and empty the dishwasher before leaving, but overall a wonderful home with responsive host and management. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home; great location; reservation and entry process seamless.

very nice house. spacious. well-stocked kitchen. air conditioning was a huge plus since it was over 90 degrees our first three days. it takes about 45 minutes to get into Yosemite Valley on somewhat winding roads. the house is in a serene location surrounded by wilderness, with a small market down the street with most necessities. the house could have been cleaned better before our arrival. there is dark green carpet throughout and it obviously had not been vacuumed recently. also many of the window blinds were broken, and could not be opened. another roller shade in the kitchen area fell off the roller to the ground when I opened it. I emailed the management company about the blinds, and initially had a response and then never heard from them again. I contacted them later to ask about the internet router which kept going out on us. again I never heard back. we also had to call the owners on our drive up to get the code for the lockbox, which was not sent yet. but Yosemite is gorgeous, we had great hikes and a great time.

very nice, but unexpected city wide loss of power last morning

Very easy, clear instructions no problems.

Great spot inside the park to launch hikes and biking. Close to the Sequoia’s Wawona Grove. And golf if open. A bit of a drive to valley all within the park. Great house for a big group in one of the only communities inside the park. Corner market is a short walk.

Disappointed. Abandoned by the management company and the owner. After numerous calls we received no resolution to an ineffective heating system. Two days later, we discovered that PG&E was cutting power in 4 hours (6pm)! Our last night would have been without power, and we had two young children - one being health challenged. Neither the mgmt company nor the owner could be reached. We bailed out and returned home forfeiting one night’s rental; and that’s not cheap. We paid premium rates, but ended up disappointed. Now, we don’t blame the homeowner for the PG&E decision, but we were not notified of the impending outage. We happened to discover it after getting Los Angeles alerts. Owner called 6 hours later at 8pm and promised to call back to discuss arrangements. Two weeks and no call back, yet. We learned that power was cut at 9:03pm for two days. We were glad to have left and didn't face a night without power. But we were disappointed to cut our trip short. That night the owner said one of the heaters would work without power (?). He also said several battery powered lanterns were in the house. Small concession. Summit House location was convenient. Being close to the Pinetree Market a big positive. School playground was appreciated. House was clean except for questionable dishes/glasses.

The house is centrally located, spacious, clean, and perfectly appointed to accommodate family and friend togetherness. We had such a magical fall experience at this house.

We were a family of 8 and had a wonderful time in the home. Tons of space to feel comfortable. Relaxing on the deck in the sun after hiking, late night games at the dining table and movies too. Very comfortable home for a nice family vacation. It was about a 45 minute drive to the valley floor- but this is common in Yosemite. There is a small convenient store down the road (walking distance) and an open playground at the local school down the road. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful home with plenty of room. We had our 3 adult kids and their guests and it was perfect. 2 king beds each with a bathroom. 2 bedrooms downstairs each with two twin beds and a shared bathroom. Plenty of deck space. Kitchen is fully stocked. We had an awesome four nights.

Unfortunately we never actually got to stay in this home. The Creek Fire caused Wawona to be on a state of possible evacuation. Daniel, the host, was in constant communication with us. He was very accommodating with us and fully refunded our money. Throughout our entire reservation (about 7 months) , when we had questions he replied within a few hours. We really appreciated that quick response time. Our hiking group of ten women always seemed to have questions..lol. Even though we were unable to have our anniversary vacation this year, we are confident we will book with Daniel again due to his willingness to make sure everyone enjoys his house and their vacation.

Would definitely stay here again-
