Giveaway: 2 Nights at a Luxury Cabin in Yosemite
This is a great way to start your year — my friends at Luxury Travel Diary have arranged for a superb 2 night stay at the The Redwoods for up to 6 guests in a river view cabin, for one lucky Heels First Travel reader!
I’m pretty excited about the idea of staying in Yosemite without having to rough it! The Redwoods is located in the park and has a staff of 50 to handle guests needs. The prize, worth $864, is 2 nights in a fully-furnished lovely 1,780 Sq. Ft. 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cabin situated in the charming pioneer town of Wawona, within Yosemite National Park.
The kitchen is fully equipped, including a dishwasher. When you enter the front door you are greeted with a large living space featuring vaulted ceilings, western red cedar walls, a gorgeous river rock fireplace (firewood provided in season), a flat screen satellite T.V. with a DVR (Digital Video Recorder), DVD player and DSL/WiFi.
I personally would be most excited about the fireplace!
As you may already know, Luxury Travel Diary not only reviews high-end places and products, they also host travel auctions on an ongoing basis, so you should definitely check out their upcoming properties!

I once spent a night snowed in at a laundromat at one of the camp grounds. I drove up for the day in my 1972 VW bus during college with my girlfriend at the time. An unexpected snowstorm shut down the roads (pre-internet/ cell phone). We camped out under a clothes folding table, ate snacks, and easier until dawn when the roads were cleared. I agree with you. My favorite feature would be the fireplace! 🙂
