Studio w/ Amenities | Walk to Village!
Guest rating: 3.5 / 5
Overview
This studio condo in Mammoth Lakes, California, offers a compact, open-concept layout designed for couples or solo travelers seeking a mountain base camp. It sleeps up to two on a queen bed and includes one full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Stairs are required to access the unit, and one parking space with a required parking pass is provided directly across from the building.
Kitchen & Living Space
The studio includes a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, along with basic cookware, dishes, utensils, and glassware for casual in-unit meals. Guests should bring their own salt, pepper, and cooking oil, as these are not stocked. A fireplace, cable TV with DVD player, and a private balcony round out the living space, along with heating for cooler mountain evenings.
Amenities & Recreation
Beyond the unit itself, guests have access to community hot tubs, a sauna, a seasonal outdoor pool (typically open May through September, 10 AM–10 PM), and BBQ grill areas for warm-weather cookouts. The hot tubs and sauna generally run year-round from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Community laundry facilities are also on site, and guests receive a 20% discount at Black Tie Ski & Bike Rentals.
Location
The property is about a 5-minute drive from Canyon Lodge and The Village at Mammoth, and it sits within a few hundred meters of several bus stops (Main St/Minaret Rd, Canyon Blvd, Village - Minaret Rd), making it easy to reach shopping, dining, and ski access without a car. Numerous restaurants are within walking distance, including The Eatery at Mammoth Brewing Company, Toomey's, Vulcania, Lakanuki, Burgers Restaurant and Bar, and Gomez Mexican Restaurant. Mammoth Yosemite Airport is about 13 km away, while Eastern Sierra Regional Airport is roughly 63 km out.
Practical Notes
The building is currently undergoing exterior painting on weekdays from 8 AM to 5 PM, which may temporarily restrict balcony access and introduce some construction noise. WiFi is provided, though mountain terrain can cause variable speeds and cell service. The property is not pet-friendly, and check-in is at 4:00 PM with checkout at 10:00 AM, neither of which can be guaranteed early or late.
Best for
This studio is best suited to couples or solo travelers looking for an affordable, low-frills mountain base for skiing, hiking, or year-round outdoor recreation. Its proximity to Canyon Lodge, The Village, and multiple bus stops makes it convenient for visitors without a car, while the community hot tubs, sauna, and seasonal pool appeal to those wanting to unwind after a day outdoors.
Travel tips
Since the unit includes only one parking space and requires displaying a parking pass, arriving with a single vehicle is advisable. Nearby bus stops (several within about 400 meters) offer an easy car-free way to reach The Village and Canyon Lodge, and the walk to on-site dining options like The Eatery at Mammoth Brewing Company or Toomey's is short. Keep in mind that stairs are required to reach the condo, and ongoing exterior painting work between 8 AM and 5 PM may affect balcony access during a stay.
