Wawona Hotel Yosemite X

Wawona Hotel, a National Historic Landmark lies 4 miles inside Yosemite's south entrance. The tranquility of this Victorian-style lodge in Yosemite makes it a favorite of those who prefer a relaxed environment and of a bygone era.

In 1855, Galen Clark, a miner whose health had suffered in the Gold Camps, passed through the Wawona Valley area with a party of tourists bound for Yosemite. Enchanted by the beauty of the place, Clark returned and built a crude 12-by-16 foot log cabin on the west end of the meadow. Today, Wawona Hotel is operated by DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite and remains one of the most respected mountain resorts. With its historic white wooden buildings, verandas overlooking sprawling green lawns and Victorian interiors, the hotel is the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation.

Great historic place to stay in Yosemite and a really unique golf course. Perfect greens!

[edelweisstexas]

We've stayed here several times (Washburn Cottage and Main House). If it's good enough for my favorite President (Theodore Roosevelt) it's certainly good enough for us! We enjoy Mr. Bopp's musical talents in the evening and the breakfasts in the Dining Room are some of the best I've ever had!
