Ski-in Ski-Out Great Views Extra Large Living Room Top Floor Two Balconies
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This is a top-floor condo unit (Unit 307) in the Sunstone building within the Juniper Springs Resort complex in Mammoth Lakes, California. Positioned at the south end of the building facing east, it is one of the few units with unobstructed views of the White and Sherwin Mountains, undisturbed by neighboring condo projects. Being on the top floor also means no footsteps from units above, and the building is served by elevators.
Views & Layout
The unit features an extra-wide living room with two large windows in place of one, plus two private balconies, giving a total of five large window/glass-door pairings that frame the mountain scenery. Both bedrooms share the same eastward view exposure as the living room, so sunrises, sunsets reflecting off the White Mountains, and even full moonrises are visible from multiple rooms and both decks.
Ski-In Ski-Out Access
Sunstone is one of only three true ski-in, ski-out buildings in Juniper Springs, with a skier's terrace just off the great room leading to a heated ski locker room on one end and a ski-in, ski-out takeoff point on the other, roughly ten steps apart. From there it's a short run down to the Eagle Express six-person, high-speed chairlift, offering some of the most direct lift access in Mammoth. The Eagle Express lift typically operates from mid-December through shortly after Easter, weather permitting.
In-Unit & Building Amenities
The condo includes a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, a washer, fireplace, cable TV, ironing board, and free Wi-Fi, and is smoke-free with heating (no air conditioning, though bedrooms have ceiling fans). Building-wide amenities include a year-round heated pool, hot tub, heated underground parking (with an 8'2" garage clearance), bike racks, a coin-operated laundry room, a small fitness center, and a sunny pool patio with an outdoor grill for summer use.
Location & Surroundings
The Sunstone building sits in a quiet, peaceful section of Mammoth Lakes with no bars or loud restaurants nearby, so evenings on the balcony bring natural sounds rather than village noise. Several bus stops, including Juniper Springs Resort itself, are within a short walk, and the free Mammoth town shuttle stops nearby at Eagle Lodge. A range of dining options, including All American Dave's, The Eatery at Mammoth Brewing Company, Toomey's, Vulcania, and The Lakefront Restaurant, are all within about 2.5 km, with Mammoth Yosemite Airport roughly 13.5 km away.
Best for
This condo suits skiers and snowboarders seeking genuine ski-in, ski-out convenience via Sunstone's terrace access to the Eagle Express chairlift, as well as travelers who prioritize mountain views, thanks to its top-floor, east-facing position with unobstructed sightlines to the White and Sherwin Mountains. It also works well for small groups or two couples traveling together, given the extra-wide living room, two bedrooms, and two balconies.
Travel tips
Note the heated underground parking has an 8'2" clearance, so drivers with SUVs carrying cargo containers or tall vans should plan alternate parking. The free Mammoth town shuttle stops nearby at Eagle Lodge, and several public bus stops, including one at Juniper Springs Resort itself, are within easy walking distance for getting around without a car. Because the Eagle Express lift generally runs from mid-December to just after Easter depending on snow conditions, travelers planning a ski trip should confirm current lift operating dates before booking.
