It is hard to find units in Mammoth that don't look like a 1970's time capsule. NOT THIS ONE! This unit is bright and airy with great views of the Sherwin Range beyond and is well appointed. The furniture (from couch to beds) are nicely done and very comfortable. We usually have to bring a lot of kitchen wares, but this place had everything and it was all in working order. All of the appliances were like new and worked flawlessly...even the Dishwasher.
All of the TVs were smart TVs and very useful when the kids wanted to relax and watch Prime, Netflix, Disney, etc. All there...who uses DVDs anymore anyway.
The unit is right next door to the coin laundry, so it was nice to not have to schlepp laundry to the office or a separate building. Very convenient!
We arrived late in the evening and were able to get right into the condo. It was a bit challenging to find, because the directions were a bit hard to understand and the signage was not great, but once in, we got settled.
We noticed two things that need to be addressed. First, the fan/light combo in the downstairs bathroom is uncontrollably loud and disruptive. It really just needs to be replaced with a proper light switch and the fan needs replacing. Second, the pocket door between the master and the downstairs bathroom was jammed and did not close all the way. This caused some light and sound to bleed into the master if the kids were using the bathroom.
We emailed the property management company that night (since it was so late) and never heard back from them. Hopefully, they can fix those two items as that would make the stay absolutely perfect!
The location is Walk Out and Ski Back. A short walk to Canyon Lodge down the hill. Coming back, use the Village Ski Back Trail off of Chair 7. If you can, avoid Chair 7 as it is slower than the old T-bar at what is now Chair 6. Try to get there from Chair 4 or from Schoolyard (Chair 17). The trail is groomed with some flat spots near the top, so snowboarders, get your speed up. We skied the trail until we saw some structures on the right and the Tennis Court Fencing Rods (no fencing). We were able to ski down to the road and walk to the condo. Takes a little getting used to, but is certainly a nice amenity. Trust me, you do NOT want to hike the hill back up from Canyon. Very challenging, especially if there is snow on the ground.
We look forward to coming back and enjoying our time in Mammoth!
