The unit smelled like it wasn’t used for months. There were ants and found a dead moth under the table upon arrival. Broken tile , bent blinds and a broken chair were noted upon arrival. Management company made aware both on arrival and departure . Patio area was dusty and dirty . Because these are units rented out you don’t know which units are clean and up to date. I wouldn’t stay again .

You noted that it was reported to the management company but we have no notes of it. We otherwise, would have offered to move you. We do have our own website with pictures of every unit we handle. That way you know exactly what you are getting it. Thank you.

Excellent furnishing and location. My only recommended suggestion would be to fumigate the master bedroom. There were large ants and small beetles infestation in the bed. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Close To Slopes
2 bedroom condominium unit with pullout sleeper which was very uncomfortable to sleep on so this unit really sleeps 4. Best thing about the unit is it is very near Mammoth slopes. If you don't want to walk to slopes a bus comes right outside your door. The unit was built in 1984 with very few updates. Unit is clean though when we got there some unwashed sheets were in the washing machine. There is covered parking which is very nice. If getting to the slopes easily is your mission it all works

Don't, just don't.
Deceptive about proximity to Yosemite. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive from here to Yosemite Valley - ridiculous! Also, the air conditioning in our room didn't work.

Response from Management on 12 Aug 2017
Yes, it is 2.5 hours to the base of Yosemite. The gate is about a 40-45 minute drive from Mammoth Lakes. Please look at out website description again because we never lie about that. Also, there is no air conditioner in any of our units, so I'm not sure where you that information.

great stay on the mountain!
Absolutely loved our stay at Mountainback... the cabin was excellent, comfortable, and clean. Being within walking distance of Canyon lift was a surprise bonus that put this place over the top! We arrived late and the check-in process was a breeze. The trolley into town was easy to use and efficient so we used that a lot and thought the entire stay was just fantastic. Will definitely stay here again!

Great location in Mammoth
We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with our accommodations at the Mountainback Mammoth. We stayed in unit 53 in Bldg. 5. It was very spacious and could easily accommodate 2 families with 2 full bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs and a loft with a queen bed and bunk beds and another full bath. We will definitely request the same unit again when we go back to Mammoth. Note: It would be a bit of a walk in your ski boots to the lift at Canyon lodge but people are obviously doing it because the parking overflow from the lodge runs all the way down the street and almost reaches the complex. Also, I believe there is a shuttle but I did not happen to see one. If you have someone in your group to drop you off in the morning and pick you up at the end of your ski day, this place is ideal.

Right on shuttle route...super convenient...cozy
Easy late night check in. Instructions emailed and app made even easier. Each building has own tub. Village at Mammoth is well...sleepy. There is no Apres ski to speak of. By 9:30-10pm all restaurants in village were essentially empty and slow on a holiday weekend...even Saturday night!

There are better places in Mammoth.
Lots of items in the Cabin did not function. Only two of the windows would open causing the room to get very warm during the day. The cabins are not equipped with AC units so opening the windows was the only way to get cool air. The doors were all very hard to open and close. This unit was located at the top of three flights of stairs, making it very tough to lug luggage and equipment back and forth to the room.

Beautifully furnished Condo
This is a privately-owned set of condos. We stayed at unit #34 which was beautifully furnished. The kitchen was well-stocked. We enjoyed our stay. The only complaint I have is that since our arrival was on 4 pm & the office was closed we had to figure out the code to the lock box to retrieve the keys. If you rent any units here just make sure to read the email they send a couple of days earlier that has the code to the lockbox.

Condo was great! Very close to the lifts. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is stock showerhead in bathrooms. Hard to rinse long hair with poor showerhead.

Canyon lodge ski pad
A group of good friends and couples getting together for an overdue ski/snowboard trip. It was a very accommodating experience from condo amenities to office staff. The condo was very clean and nicely updated! Beds and rooms were really comfortable and sheets and blankets were super clean. Three full baths definitely helped out too! Slopes at canyon lodge were within walking distance or a quick hop on the shuttle. Everyone in our group loved the place we stayed at and would not hesitate to come back and rent here again in the future!

Great Mammoth Ski Lodge
This is a Lodge not a Hotel and for skiing it was awesome. Lots of space, great kitchen, large lounge with all sorts of amenities, log fire place. Exceedingly well equipped - we would certainly return. It is only serviced before you arrive and not during your stay. The Ski slopes are uphill and between 1m to +- 700 yards away.

Great location. Wonderful staff. Homey atmosphere offers a cozy space to interact with kids. Nice snowing scenery from dinning room & living room. The only tiny dissatisfaction is the range hood can't efficiently haul away the cooking smoke. We stayed at #72.

Nice location but....
It was a great location and the unit was large, however it failed in many areas. The unit is clearly used by the owners and much of the stuff was in the unit. Including rubbish. Unfortunately, with each unit being privately onward, it could be hit and miss as to the actually quality of your stay.

nice condo
The condo was well furnished, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cookware you could possibly need. We had 6 people and there was ample space to hang out and relax. We were in #41, which had 2 bedrooms, and a loft. The only downsides we encountered were the construction crews that insisted on starting at about 7:30 AM on the weekend. There were a few minor issues with the unit, cable was out, fireplace was a bit small, but warmed the unit after a bit of time, and some of the furniture was losing screws. For the price however, the minor issues can easily be overlooked. Overall we were all very happy with the accommodations, the unit owner stocked the unit full of games, movies and books to keep us entertained while recovered between adventures.

Too far from Yosemite Valley
I asked a member of the staff how far they were from Yosemite Valley. They indicated that it was only 45 minutes. Actually almost 3 hours.
Response from Jeff on 22 Jun 2015
Thanks for you comment. The entrance station to Yosemite National Park is about 45 minutes from our location in Mammoth. If you want to drive down into the valley, the drive time can vary up to three hours depending on the season and amount of tourist traffic.

Great value, awesome location
Nice 2 bedroom 2 bath unit with full kitchen. Awesome location less than S mile from the village and about a 10 minute drive to mammoth mountain. Clean rooms, plenty of firewood, flat screen tv (not that we really used it). Only drawback is you need to have a fire running cause it gets cold and there's no central heat (there are small electric heaters in each room though but don't work all that great). Would definitely come again.
Response from Jeff on 22 Aug 2015
Thank you for your review. The electric heat in the unit should be sufficient to keep the unit warm. If you have a problem next time, let us know and we will check the heaters for you right away.
