We were very content with the house and its maintenance. The management was responsive. The upstairs bedroom with the 3 twins is perfect for the kids, and they had their own bathroom. Mammoth Lakes as a region is breathtaking, so definitely take the time to explore all the little lakes. At times it felt like we had an entire lake to ourselves! The lakes are cold but worth dipping in, and the kids' favorite highlights probably included renting a motorboat on Lake Mary. The mountain air is chilly and at times windy, even in August, so be sure to bring sweaters. Oh, and keep the kids away from the overpriced jumpy activities around the Gondola, they are not worth it.... On the other hand, if want to ride the Gondola up Mammoth Mountain, or take the shuttle to Devils Postpile and Rainbow Falls, the location is perfect, as the starting point is literally next door.
