About this property
NEW - Historic Landmark log cabin on Merced River<br>
Historic Landmark Log Cabin located alongside the Merced River, 21 miles outside of Mariposa and 10 miles from the Arch Rock entrance of Yosemite National Park.
The space
Miner James D. Savage established a bona fide trading post just outside Yosemite Valley near El Portal back in 1849. These days, wonderfully rebooted, it serves as a unique vacation property, which is ideal for families, friends, and couples. The lovely Log Cabin is a cozy one-bedroom cabin ideal for honeymooners or those who want a romantic getaway— or for a writer finishing a book or memoir, actually. The spacious one-bedroom cabin sits right along a flowing river and includes a prominent living room, kitchen, dining area, Jacuzzi tub, and more. There is also a queen bed in the open space. The Log Cabin at Savages is designed for cozy comfort after a fun day in nature.
Note: We use Starlink for WiFi. Due to our remote location WiFi is not always reliable.
Other things to note
We allow pets for an additional charge:
$75 flat fee
If any damages are incurred during the stay we will request additional payment
