Yosemite National Park - Through The Gates And In The Heart Of Yosemite!
Because of schedule constraints, plenty of visitors to Yosemite National Park are, by necessity, day-trippers: They swoop in for an afternoon in Yosemite Valley, see some of the sights, and declare the park “visited.” Sometimes that’s just the reality of timing and obligations, but consider making your next—or your first—trip to Yosemite an overnighter. Among your options is bedding down in one of the many cabins and condos situated within the bounds of the park—offering an unparalleled intersection of comfort and location.
All of Yosemite’s Scenic Wonders properties are located through the gates and in the heart of Yosemite National Park, and all provide their own magic. You can choose from a rich variety of sizes and amenities depending on your needs and desires: There’s something for everyone. From the secluded Hiker’s Hideaway—snugly tucked amid Sugar Pines and Dogwoods—to the A-frame elegance and evocative vistas of Stoneoaks, our cabins and condos give you the opportunity to conveniently immerse yourself in the majestic Yosemite landscape in rustic style.
One of the newest standouts is the Ahwahnichi Lodge, which summons the architectural craftsman spirit of the 1920s and 1930s. This spacious, three-bedroom house echoes its setting in every luxuriant room and all its furnishings, showcasing the Yosemite’s Scenic Wonders ethos of embracing and celebrating our properties’ grandiose setting. From the wood cabinets and trims to the kitchen countertops that call to mind the bold granite domes and cliffs of the Sierra Nevada, the Ahwahnichi seems to distill a certain rugged essence from the conifer groves and mountain walls around it.
You’ll likely spend much time in the fully equipped kitchen or around the fireplace in the family room, but Ahwahnichi guests tend to be equally drawn to the house's many windows, caught up in the timeless scenery. The elegant Master bedroom leads to a private deck, where you can listen to the wind sloughing through the great arms of the Sugar Pines just feet away from your pillow.
Whichever unique property you decide on, our cabins and condos are there to serve many purposes to make your Yosemite stay a fulfilling and unforgettable one. They are home bases, giving you the chance to return after a full day of sightseeing and adventuring to cozy warmth and good cheer: a chance to cook together, dine together, do a jigsaw puzzle, immerse yourself in a book, update that trip journal. They can be boisterous places of laughter and games or quiet refuges to reflect on the mesmerizing landscape—the old trees, the soaring pale mountains, the evening deer and croaking ravens—which overwhelms your senses on a Yosemite holiday.
What better way, after all, to soak in those magical Yosemite experiences—the big and small moments, the postcard-perfect vistas and the tucked-away secrets—than in your own home-away-from-home smack dab in the park itself? Whether it’s the transcendent Ahwahnichi or another of the Yosemite’s Scenic Wonders getaways, you’ll be perfectly situated for an open-hearted engagement with this gem of the Sierra Nevada, celebrated around the world.
