My grown son, who loves snowboarding, wanted to show his parents, sisters, nieces, and nephew why he doesn't mind routinely making a 5 hour drive from LA to Mammoth to snowboard. So we rented this cabin for 4 days for our annual family vacation specifically because it was ski in and ski out, and we weren't sure how the young ones (5, 7, and 9) and the older ones (56 and 63) would do in the snow. We chose wisely! This property was exactly what was needed so we never had to walk with gear to a shuttle stop , find parking, or spend unwanted hours in a bar with young kids waiting for the rest of the rest of the party to finish. Those who were tired or hungry simply skied home. Those who could get ready early in the morning, skied down to the lifts and got an early start on the day. FYI, the lessons for kids were worth every cent. They were unstoppable after the 2 hour class.
We packed all of our food, drink, gear, and clothes into our cars and arrived in 15º weather with snow starting to fall. Within 10 minutes, it was all packed into their Snowcat and taken right from our cars to the porch of our cabin. Inside, we found a warm, remarkably clean, and well-appointed updated cabin that looked just like the photos. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms well-stocked with shampoos and soaps, and a kitchen with plenty of cookware and dishes. The entertainment included cable TV in the living room, a game console, a vcr, movies, more firewood than you could burn, and plenty of board games and puzzles to choose from.
I am not sure when it happened, but our deck was cleared of snow and the trash was picked up by management. I was called 2 times to be sure that I didn't have any questions and to see if we needed anything. So thoughtful!
If you are cooking, bring your spices, oils, and such. If you like music, bring your speaker. We were in cabin #22 which is in the back. We loved it, but if you truly want to ski all the way to your front door, then you will want to book just a little closer to the runs. Be sure to work with Debbie. She can answer any question you have and also make sure that your trip goes as smoothly as possible. This house will not disappoint. If you want a place that is nice and homey and you look forward to snoozing on a comfortable couch in front of the fire...book it.
