Keywords: Condominium
Mammoth Lakes is a little slice of paradise that has something for everyone, every day of the year. The large ski resort that produces more fresh powder than other neighboring resorts year after year often attracts people initially, but the small town charm, excellent dining, fishing, hiking, climbing, biking, sledding, shopping and natural hot springs is what makes people feel at home and fall in love with Mammoth Lakes.
This 3+ bedroom with loft is happily situated in a low density complex surrounded by meadows and mountains. The property has a large meadow and creek for walking/hiking. The condo boasts views of Mammoth Mountain from the bedroom windows so you can check out the weather in the morning on the mountain without even leaving the bed. On the days when you choose to go to the mountain you can use the free and fast shuttle service to the mountain with a stop conveniently located out in front, less than a 5 minute walk. For those with laptops, fast WiFi is now available.
For the little ones and adults that don't want to grow up yet, there is sledding directly across from the condo in peak conditions. Although the ski season is sublime, they often say that people come to Mammoth for the winters and stay for the summers. The summers are filled with fun family activities: hikes to Rainbow Falls and Devil's Postpile, fishing, rock climbing and bouldering, swimming, visiting the natural hot springs, golfing, biking, shopping, relaxing, canoeing, picnicking, backpacking, camping, fine dining, and viewing wildlife. Come and enjoy the beauty and splendor of Mammoth Lakes in our condo, the best kept secret that our family has been enjoying for decades.

Snowcreek is the best complex happily situated in the best ski resort area, Mammoth Lakes.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
While staying at this property I enjoy taking long walks in the neighboring meadow and creek at this low density complex, enjoying evening soaks in the jacuzzi and sauna (a stone's throw away) after a long day on Mammoth Mountain, using the free shuttle system to and from the town/mountain, riding bikes with my family on the bike way, and lounging with friends and family by the fire.
Mammoth's FREE shuttle service almost is close enough to be considered door to door, but it's far enough to never hear the sounds of shuttles on Minaret Rd. The shuttle service is also easy to use!
Mono Lake is gradually being refilled to return it back to it's level in the middle of the 1900s. The lovely tufas that you can visit now will soon be covered. Be sure to check out this beautiful ge
The "Happies" and the "Sads" are bouldering sites that are excellent for beginners and great in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Ask the owner if you'd like to check out these areas.
Another excellent, world class bouldering location. Best in the Fall, Winter and Spring.
An excellent bouldering destination in the late Spring, Summer and early Fall
A great natural hot creek that is best in the late spring, summer, and early fall.

This condo is clean, well maintained, well equipped, and cozy. We were a party of 9 and were very comfortable. It's close to the main road where the shuttle runs throughout the day into the village and Mammoth mountain. The owner is available and responsive making my planning super easy. Thanks!!

We stayed at this condo the week between Christmas & New Years. The condo 3 bdrm + loft & 3 bath easily fits 8-10. The owner was VERY nice & very easy to communicate with, and very professional. He even put in a brand new 42" HDTV before we got there! Condo is near the main road, for easy access. I was there with my wife & 3 daughters and another family, easily fit all of us. It's about a 5 min drive from Eagle Lodge @ Mammoth Mountain. The condo itself is well maintained, clean, comfortable, very homey. We may very well become repeat renters at this condo.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with young children.
as good as advertised and the location is even better

The house was exactly what we had hoped for, and was the perfect place for us to relax after our days on the mountain. While the snow was not ideal, the word of poor conditions spread quickly and kept the mountain from being overly crowded. After a long day on the mountain, we walked over 50 feet to the hot tub that easily fit our group. And the ski/snowboard closet on the front porch was perfect. I've never stayed in a house that had that, but it was much easier storing gear in there than trying to keep it in cars or outside. Also, the 1 minute walk to the shuttle was extremely convenient for both getting to the mountain or the village. Overall, great rental. Very clean, nice amenities (brand new tv, dvd player, stereo/ihome, hot tub/sauna, ski closet), comfortable bedrooms and having 3 bathrooms was great when our group was returning from the mountain to shower up. We didn't have the opportunity to use the fireplace or grill, but they were nice options to have if you feel so inclined.

Comfortable Condo

Review Submitted: 12/07/11
We went to Mammoth Lakes during Thanks Giving and there was plenty of snow and the slopes were great. This comfortable townhouse was perfect for 6 adults but could easily host 8. The condo has plenty of room and the three bathrooms made us feel a little luxurous. It is also cosy and very well equipped, well-maintained, and conveniently located. Unfortunately we missed to look for the jacuzzi and sauna and it would be nice if there was some information how to find it in the house. The place was quiet, even being situated next to the access road. It actually made it easy unloading of skiis, boots and groceries and not least to easily reaching the chairs at Main Lodge. Be sure to be up early to get a parking place there! At weekends it’s full at nine. The process of renting the townhouse was very convenient and simple, thanks to the owner, who was kind, professional and readily available. Hopefully we'll come back to Mammoth and if we do we will be glad to rent this condo again.

Plenty of room in this clean, bright tri level condo. We slept 8 people very comfortably. Good location in a quieter complex with spa. Laundry in condo was convenient. Front door to condo is close to main road in complex which could be a hazard to small children.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers.
Will come back for sure!

My family and I have been going to Mammoth for years, and have never found a place to come back to...until now. This townhouse is comfortable, well-maintained, and conveniently located. The unit had ample space for my big family, and the kids loved the breakfast nook. The place was quiet, even being situated next to the access road. It actually made for easy unloading of groceries and packing up the cars. The process of renting the townhouse was a breeze -- thanks to the owner, who was very professional and readily available. My family and I had an awesome time -- great snow and great place. We're looking forward to our next Mammoth trip!

Comfortable Accomodations

Review Submitted: 03/24/10
This property was great for our annual ski trip. There was 7 of us in our group. It is located close to the grocery store and chair 15 at Eagle Lodge in a quite development. The free shuttle runs right outside the development and is a very short walk from the condo. There was plenty of parking right across from the condo. The condo has a great living/dinning area off of the kitchen that can accomodate a large group. Although we brought some movies, there were plenty of movie to choose from in a dresser in the living room. We also found and used the dominos. The three bedrooms and bathrooms are on the main level with the living area upstairs and two additional beds in a loft above the living room. So people in the loft have to come down two sets of stairs to use the bathroom. Overall, the value of the condo for the cost was very good. We enjoyed skiing, the jacuzzi (which is very close to this condo) snowshoeing and dinner at the Tamarack Lodge, which I highly recommend. Be sure to call for reservations as the dining room there is small.

We had a wonderful Mammoth getaway and really enjoyed our stay. The condo was centrally located (everything was w/i 10 min. driving distance)and great sledding right outside our door. We really admire the owner and great to work with. Thank-you for a wonderful time!!

We were two families (w/5 kids) staying in this condo over Christmas '09, and we had a great time. Only a 10 minute drive from the slopes. The jacuzzi is right next to the condo and parking is convenient . The condo is well equipped and the owner is very nice. Mammoth Lakes is a beautiful place!!
