About this property

Riverview is a beautiful, wooden, two-story, A-Frame cabin, with floor to ceiling windows that overlook the South Fork of the Merced River. The open plan living and dining area includes gorgeous floor to ceiling glass and a Fireplace. Major remodeling to the kitchen completed on Feb. 15, 2022. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master suite, this charming cabin accommodates families and groups. Extra sleeping is available in the loft. Nestled in the quaint village of Wawona inside Yosemite National Park, Riverview cabin allows for the full Yosemite National Park experience. For 2024 you will not need a reservation to enter the Park when you are staying at my cabin which is inside the Park.

Yosemite National Park will require advanced reservations to get in for most dates in 2024, which can be difficult to get. But for 2024 reservations are required when you are not staying at a cabin inside the Park. You must still pay the vehicle pass to get in ($35).

Feel free to email me any questions you may have, whether you rented this cabin in the past or if it is your first time. I have been renting on VRBO for 20 years in Wawona.

Everything you need for Yosemite

Beautiful setting and great location. House well equipped (and the washer / dryer was a life saver for our family of 5). Highly recommend. Thanks for a memorable stay.

Wonderful oasis

When I saw the windows in the listing, I knew I wanted to stay here, and it didn’t disappoint. I wish I had done a bit more research about the drive to the part of the park we wanted to explore, but my husband was a trooper with the hour drive to the valley each day. We even caught a couple of sunsets there! We were without heat the first night, but the property manager responded quickly, there were plenty of extra blankets, and it was fixed the next day. We loved our stay in this gorgeous home.

Annual Family Reunion

The Riverview cabin is beautiful. The kitchen and 2 baths are exceptional. It is peaceful. The sound of the river is very soothing. We had a wonderful time, hiking and fishing. The cabin has lots of room.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Kilsdonk

I am a third generation farmer near Fresno. We grow grapes, almonds and pistachios. I have had a love for the mountains ever since i was young. I spend a lot of time water skiing with my husband. We spend a lot of the winter in Costa Rica water skiing.
My sister and i just purchased this cabin together in 2017. We have had 2 other cabins before this one. We were excited to purchase a A-Frame cabin near the river. Something about hearing the river running that you cant get in very many cabins here. Hope you will enjoy this new cabin as much as we are looking forward to time up at the cabin

Why they chose this property

We have had a cabin in Wawona for the last 25 years. Always wanted a A-Frame near the river. There is not much of a turn over of cabins in Wawona. Most are held in the family for generations. There are really very few cabins inside Yosemite National Park. So when this one came available, we just bought it Nov. 2017.

What makes this property unique

Walk down to the river. Great swimming place right close to the cabin. Nice large deck that is in the shade. Enjoy seeing the river from the cabin and mostly hearing the river running from the cabin.
