About

Ahwahnichi Lodge is a private house rental in El Portal, right along the Merced River on Yosemite's western edge. Book here and you get an entire home rather than a single room — reviewers describe a warm, comfortable space with plenty of room for a group, and the property currently holds a 4.7-star rating from recent guests.

Built for Groups

One recent review said the house "comfortably slept our group of 6 though more could have easily found a spot," and another called it a "warm, lovely place to call home while in Yosemite." If you're coordinating a family trip or a group of friends heading into the park, this is a place to spread out rather than stack up in adjoining motel rooms.

A Few Things to Confirm

  • Internet access isn't guaranteed — one guest noted there was none during their stay, so ask ahead if you need to work remotely.
  • Winter access can be affected by snow; one group had trouble getting vehicles into the driveway after a heavy snowfall.

The only problem we ran into was getting our vehicles into the driveway after a fairly large snow delivery. The house was amazing and comfortably slept out group of 6 though more could have easily found a spot. Warm, lovely place to call home while in Yosemite
