Great condo near Canyon lodge

We loved our little home away from home for the week. Excellent lay out and well outfitted for a winter vacation. The boot heaters were our favorite. The "hottub/spa" amenities are so-so, but they had a bazillion feet of snow, so that's life sometimes.

We enjoyed our stay. My only negative comment is that the tightness of the parking structure made it difficult to park our truck in our designated space. But since it was summer, it was easy to park on the street.

Comfortable, well located condo

Felt like staying at a friend’s place. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and a number of other nice touches. Sort of at the opposite end of the spectrum from the typical ski condo with a single pan for cooking and a salt and pepper shaker. Well located, too, in the part of the complex closest to Canyon. Walking distance. I’d stay there again.

This place is awesome! Comfortable beds, boot warmers, washer and dryer and heated toilet seats! No complaints except you have to walk farther to a jacuzzi. Kitchen was well stocked. Bunk beds would only be good for kids. Not super sturdy!

Very nice place (not really walking distance to Canyon)

Overall really nice place to stay. Very well furnished with tons of cookware, dinnerware, humidifier, even a glove dryer. Was surprised how long a walk to Canyon it was though. I ended up driving my kids up the hill and dropping them off with our gear, then driving back and walking back up myself. No way we could have made the walk in boots carrying gear.

Great Place!

We want to thank the owners for a few things: 1. The kitchen is stocked perfectly. We love to cook for our family. The pots and pans and utensils are good quality and easy to find. The kitchen is new and clean. (Please note: we used your zip locks to make sandwiches and did not have a chance to replace them) 2. The hang out areas are comfy, board games and puzzles, great! 3. The heaters work great. We love the boots rack. The location is close walking distance is CanyonThank you very much for your lovely, comfy home. We had a fantastic snow vacation

Awesome location with comfortable, well stocked place.

Stayed with another family, 4 kids in total, all less than 5yo. The place was superbly well stocked with kitchen utensils, fuel for the pellet furnace/fireplace, heaters, humidifiers, and games. And although its on the first floor, its a little elevated and doesn't feel like your on the street. A person walking by couldn't peer in. Although the shuttle stop out front is for the shuttle returning to the village before heading up to the lifts, you'll be glad for it on busy days as the shuttle was always empty when picking us up and frequently too full to accept additional passengers from the village or places along the route between the village and Canyon lodge. Our one nitpick was that one of bathrooms could have been cleaner, some strands of hair were lying around. We though would totally stay again.

Exceeded our expectations!

My friend and I i take an adventure road trip every summer, we hit the jackpot with this accommodation. The unit is large enough so we could spread out and have plenty of privacy, yet sit around and talk and the open areas of the dining room and family room. It was in the 70s the three nights we were staying, so make sure to pack layers if you’re going to be Adventuring. The recreation trail isThe best we have ever seen for biking. We rode bikes to Lake Mary and the views of the snow capped mountains were so Beautiful. The check in process was super easy. Loved the keyless entry. We did not use the pool or hot tub. The variety of coffee for the Keurig were a fabulous touch! Everything you could ever need or was there: large cabinet full of games, spices galore in the kitchen cupboard, washer dryer with soap, extra everything you could need such as paper towels, cleaners, shampoo, etc. The beds were extremely comfortable and the towels smelled so fresh I actually want to know the name of the soap! We will definitely be staying here again should we ever want to visit it is the Mammoth Lakes area. Make sure to check out Convict Lake, the June Lake Loop, and the Devils Postpile., Mono Lake and Bodie ghost town.
