Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
This restored log cabin sits along the Merced River, just 10 miles from Yosemite National Park’s Arch Rock entrance and 21 miles from Mariposa. Built near the site of an 1849 Gold Rush trading post, it’s a rare mix of California history and natural beauty.

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.
