Great house for a group in Yosemite-Wawona

We had a great stay at the Summit House. Group of 12 adults and teens. House was well appointed, comfortable and location was amazing. Pine Tree market 1/4 mile away was convenient for some groceries and there is a fun swimming hole with a water down only 1/2 mile away. Highly recommend and we would stay again.

Wonderful home. Great history. Totally 80’s.

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.

Beautiful and spacious

We had a wonderful family reunion in this Summit House. It was very nicely decorated inside out, and located in a peaceful neighbourhood, which is right next to one of our favorite hiking trails. If you come here during winter, make sure your car is good for driving uphill, because its driveway is quite steep.

Thanksgiving in Yosemite

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.

Wonderful Wawona Dwelling

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.
