It was an awesome condo. Clean, well stocked. It was just as described in the vrbo recap. Howard did an excellent job of communicating with us. Thank you Howard
I will start out by saying the place has potential of a 5 star facility, but unfortunately, due to this being an older structure, it was dated, musty with an odd odor and while I suspect it had been cleaned, the aged nature of the facility, old carpet, ants in the kitchen and blackened areas in the bathroom gave it an appearance of not being so. The only allergy issues I have are indoor allergies of old homes, so congestion was an issue anytime I was indoors. Fortunately, most of the time we were outside. The surroundings are beautiful, location great, but renovation, deep cleaning and carpet replacement, maybe even removing the carpet would be the only way to address this. We did see renovations taking place on several of the units. Parking could also potentially be an issue, as our last night there forced me to use the small garage and I had only about a half inch of clearance on either side (with mirrors folded in), so was tedious to parking. Had I not been able to fit, I would not have found a legal parking place within 1/4 mile or more of the unit. So noting the warning about the small garage door opening, a reserved parking place within reasonable distance would be the only solution.One last thing, smart TVs have become inexpensive and the internet service there was just fine, but we don't watch network TV and very little cable programming and prefer a smart TV that can handle all the common apps. Its a 21st century expectation.
Overall, the condo was ok. The kitchen was clean and usable, no problems there. In the bathroom, the shower handles were difficult and the water pressure was low. In the shower there is noticeable mold in some areas on caulking in the shower. The carpet needs to be cleaned and the drapes fall down when you pull them open sometimes. One pullout couch was super lumpy, didnât use the other one. We couldâve used an extra bar of soap and shampoo as there was only one small one left there for us, which was gone in two days. It wouldâve been helpful for us to know that there was two flights of stairs as we had mountain bikes with us. We still had a nice time on our trip, but it wouldâve been better if those things were improved.
I so enjoyed my stay here. It was clean, and had everything I needed. The view, the trees, the neighborhood was very welcoming. I had a question about the fireplace and the response was almost immediate. I would stay again for sure. Just know that there are a few steps to get up to but the view and the warm vibe was worth it!
Skiing was great. We could not rent a car in Bishop Airport, so we took a taxi and used the local busses. That worked fine. When needed we used Uber, but that meant we could not get to June Mountain unfortunately. The condo was fine. Plenty of firewood which we used to help the wall mounted electric heaters. Condo office let us stay in their sitting area while we waited for our taxi back to the airport after checking out. We will definitely return to Mammoth Lakes!
We arrived at Mammoth kind of late in the day Feb 4 for a 5-day ski trip, when we realized we didn't have the address of our condo with us and it was starting to get dark. Yikes!We contacted Howard, the owner, and he answered the phone immediately and gave us directions and address.We got to the place and it was exactly as described. Beautiful views of the mountains directly in front of us, and to the right a clear view of the chairlift up Lincoln Mountain off Canyon Lodge. The place was clean and cozy as described, with a well-appointed kitchen and super-cozy Cal King bed!Howard was an ultra-gracious host and I would absolutely stay there again.Best,Tony and Sandy from Santa Barbara
Five night stay. Loved the comfortable king size bed. The kitchen provided everything we needed. The host was very responsive. The 2 1/2 flights of stairs were fine except when we schlepped things in and out. It was nice to have a garage, especially this time of year when pinecones are falling. Itâs a quiet neighborhood but we could sometimes hear footsteps in the unit above us.Not a big deal. Easy access to all the many walking/biking trails in Mammoth. Walking distance to the Village.
Decent little 1 bedroom condo. Complex was quiet. We worked remotely here for a week. You can cut through the east end of the complex and walk to shops and restaurants in like 5-10 minutes, which we did every evening. Same can be used to access the biking/walking path that goes up to Horseshoe/Twin Lakes area.
