After searching for our next summer trip, we emailed the Chalets and got a quick response from Romie. A few questions later, we were booked. The Chalets are smack in the middle of some of the greatest hiking and sightseeing around. With town just a 5 minute drive away, we could pick up supplies as we needed and still feel like we were in the middle of mother nature.
Driving from the Bay Area, the extra 90 minutes or so to get there was well worth it. (Sorry Tahoe lovers, but the insane views and trails in the Eastern Sierras are tops in my book any day of the week. 25 years experience saying that)
If your on a plant based diet, vegans have some great options for groceries, pizza (always important) and the Stellar Brew and Café rocked a tasty vegan wrap and baked goods. We also have a small pooch and let me say, this whole area is very pet friendly. (crazy important for us) All the trails we went on allowed dogs on leash. Even on the local shuttle bus (with muzzle) to the Devils Postpile Monument. How cool is that??
Romie and Kris were terrific in helping us decide our various hikes and drives. And gladly put up with tons of questions. We have to say that if your planning a vacation, having people that care and know the area well is a huge benefit-A BIG plus for staying here.
When a small issue came up with our chalet, Kris was right there to remedy the situation fast. And our vacation continued without skipping a beat.
Spending a full week at the Mammoth Mountain Chalets was a blast, but it went by way too fast.
We plan to remedy this issue by another stay sometime soon!
Thanks Romie and Kris for making our stay one we will never forget.
# An extra 2 hour drive from the Bay Area vs. Tahoe (the length of a movie for goodness sake) is nothing compared to the beauty of this region.
# Super pet friendly unlike other areas.
# Food is a little more pricey here, so pack along your “must haves” and the occasional run to the store is a little more bearable. (we tend to buy from local owned stores-But there is a Vons in town too)
# Each chalet is individually owned. So some amenities may differ from unit to unit. However we loved the fact we had our own home with four walls and not stuck in some hotel with others right next to you. Made you feel much more relaxed and at home.
# Bring binoculars as some of the best views are right nearby.
# While we love the outdoors, but the included Wifi, a hot shower and favorite chilled drinks was terrific.
