I booked a room without doing much research bc my boyfriend really wanted to stay here.
It wasn't until after I booked that I realized there was a lodge and cabins. We bookef a room at the lodge.... With a shared bathroom. I was weary, especially since the entire lodge (of 8 ish rooms) shared one girl and one guy bathroom. However, even though the lodge was fully booked, I never ran into anyone and the bathroom and shower was very well kept.
Pros: staff is incredible. The beds are very comfortable. Great location and cozy cabin vibe in the rooms. We did a snow hike on the property and Mammoth is super close. Parking was easy and water was hot.
Cons: do not stay in the lodge if you're a couple looking for a romantic getaway. The walls are paper thin (hence the quiet hours and no tvs). The floors are very squeaky and you can expect to get up when everyone else does (around 7/8 am). Food is limited with a Continental bfast and grab and go lunch. Reservations for dinner are needed well in advance.
Overall it was nice, but I think next time I'd prefer one of the cabins over the lodge.

Spent time with friends in the lounge of Tamarack. A beautiful spot quietly nestled at the lakes basin. The lodge is stunning with delicious wines at a peaceful atmosphere

The “ultimate” cabins are amazing.

Overall cute and comfortable place but with really bad signals (T-mobile and AT&T) and horrible WIFI in both the room and the main lodge. If you need internet access this won’t work.

Great place we really enjoyed the cabins and the surrounding are

Honestly soooo amazing!! The cabin had everything from dishes to pots, to wood fireplace. The service was excellent!! Manny and Donald made our stay so pleasurable. IN LOVE ????????

One of the most romantic and peaceful place you can ever stay. Its freezing cold outside but you have such a sweet warmth in this place. I would recommend this place to anyone who visits mammoth. And the beautiful lake outside is another reason to come here.

We were greeted with apple cider and a lovely welcome from Brian in reception. Lobby is adorable with a nice fireplace, board games and wood stove. Outdoor area has a great lake view with bridges to walk across. Restaurant was expensive and DELICIOUS. And staff was again super friendly and knowledgeable. Live piano in the lobby on Saturday.

Absolutely magical place, I hope it stays this way forever. We stayed in a cabin and it was a retro ski daydream. I’m scared because the brochure had mentioned the history of the lodge and how there was “exciting new changes coming”. I hope that doesn’t mean they make it uglier, greyer. This lodge stands out because of its unique glamour and charm. It is the only place I will stay in mammoth. I hope they don’t change the wooded walls, cozy bedding, gorgeous and simple kitchen, and refreshing back to the basics bathroom. Please don’t renovate this gem to be repulsive PLEASE. It is a perfect romantic escape from busy day to day life.
I LOVE YOU TAMARACK LODGE

Impresionante lugar. Alquilamos cabaña grande delante del lago, con unas vistas impresionantes. Antes de llegar ya nos habían encendido la chimenea y estaba super agradable. La cena de lujo con una atención excelente. Por la mañana nos trajeron el desayuno a la cabaña. Así que experiencia de lujo.

The staff was one of the reasons our stay was exceptional. The hospitality from everyone such as Tim, Sean, and Jen were amazing and will be a reason for us to come back for another stay.

Friendly staffs, cozy cabin and perfect services.

It’s freezing cold when we just arrived at Mommoth Lake. While we check in, the staff whose name was Tim welcomed us with caring smile and gave us warm-nice apple cider that could melt away. The Lobby was not too big, but enough space to make us comfortable. Actually me and my friend love this kind of atmosphere so that we wanna sleep in a couch which is placed in lobby. Hhhh:)
The room was even nicer than we thougt. Built with woods, filled with warm air and vintage furnitures. Enough-cozy space with lake view made us astonished. After organizing our luggage, we went down to the lobby. Looking at the furnace, We hoped to get some drink and drink at the warm-yellow fire. As the bartender was off the duty at late-night, Tim gave us the nice white wine saying that is a complimentary. (I am not sure that it’s for everyone) Our heart moved so deep and delighted. It was such a perfect night through our entire travel so that we booked extra 1 night’s. (Actually we already booked another hostel tomorrow, which we can’t refund. This place was so awesome and worth it for us). The next day we provided a important information by Tim. We enjoy Jaquzzi 3times, 24hr Fitness center, attractive lake located right infront of hotel and campfire for free!!!!!!!!!!(You should check if campfire ‘s are charged.) We are FKing exciting and we really want to give something to Tim. It was our last destination of travel so I gave Tim all I got. I want to share Korean food with him and he was also happy. We take a pics with Tim before check out and we really wanna thanks to Victoria and take a pics with her, but she was not there..nn:( We are gonna come back to this fabulous, perfect and cozy hotel soon.

I am not good at English so … i am gonna end this with korean.

맘머스레이크 숙소들중에서 이 숙소는 정말 다르다고 자부한다. 숙소에 2박을 하면서 느낀점은 이 곳은 아는 사람들만 오는 추억이 담긴 아지트느낌의 숙소라는 것이다. 그래서 나는 이 숙소를 누구에게도 공개하고 싶지 않다.Hhhhhhh 우리는 이 숙소의 첫 한국인이였으며 마지막 한국인이되었으면 한다.hhhhhh :) 당신이 다른 나라에서 여행 올 계획이 있다면, 공유할 수 있는 음식이나 다른 무언가를 준비하면 정말 좋은 추억이 될 것이다.
우리는 최대한 빠른 시일내에 이곳을 다시 방문하겠다고 다짐했고 Tim과 약속했다. 나는 감히, 당신이 이 숙소를 방문한다면 절대 후회하지 않으리라 장담한다.
영어를 잘하지 못해서 표현을 다 못했지만 Tim과 Victoria 그리고 Bruce(?)에게 너무 좋은 추억과 서비스를 해줘서 진심으로 고맙고 기억에 평생 남을 거라고 말해주고 싶다.

We had so much fun during our stay! We had a very cozy cabin with a wood burning stove. We were right by the lake with gorgeous soaring cliffs. Check in and check out were a breeze. We arrived late for check in (11pm) and it was still easy to get into our cabin! Staff was very friendly. I also highly recommend the restaurant on the property.

**Do bring a container to put food in- we did have some mice friends in our cabin that ate all of our dog’s food because it was just in a plastic bag.

Muy buena ubicación, frente a un hermoso lago de vistas singular… cabañas tradicionales muy cerca de la ciudad y preciosos lagos y rutas de senderismo.

This is the finest example of lodge architecture. If you like the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite, you'll be knocked out here! Super nice staff too.
