Tamarack Lodge & Resort

Quaint cabins with a nice homey feel. Continental breakfast included in the resort fee. Cabins have kitches with dishes etc provided. Great location across from Twin Lakes Mammoth Ca

The lodge is in a great location, and the staff that works at the Tamarack Lodge is AMAZING. That being said, a few minus points are, the rooms that are not detached from the main building are extremely small. One can hear even people talking in the next room, the beds are uncomfortable to sleep in.

Love this place!!

Very cool historic property with a lot going for it. Negative: Room was drafty (there was a strong snow/windstorm the night we stayed). Suggestion: To save money do not provide as many towels

Beautiful view and cozy cabins

I hadn't been to Tamarack Lodge in more than 20 years but the special characteristics and charm of the place has more than endured. We spent a total of 5 nights in one of the small couple's cabin and felt both on vacation and at home. The room was somewhat rustic (as expected) but very cozy, the bed very comfortable, and the kitchen easy to work in. If you are going to cross country ski there is no better option than Tamarack; you can literally get on the trails from your doorstep. The main lodge is also very welcoming and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. During the trip our car battery died and the staff at the front desk loaned us a portable charger to get us into town AND loaned us the appropriate tools to change the battery when we returned (the garage in town, near closing time, was not as accommodating.) They even helped us with some unexpected copy needs! Last but far from least, the Lakefront Restaurant was excellent - a must if you're staying there and a celebrated and popular dinner stop throughout the area - and our meal there was a capper to this terrific visit. A few tips I would offer would be to book your cross country ski passes directly with the center versus the 800 Mammoth number (which I originally did). They were more helpful (knowledgeable?) regarding discounts for staying at the lodge and two for 1 Tuesday passes, both of which saved us considerable money over the 4 days of skiing. Also, if you have trouble getting around I might ask for a cabin closer to the road (not sure if all sizes are available down low) because the slog in the snow from the road to the upper cabins is something to consider (they do have sleds you can load gear into and I believe you can also ask for assistance). Finally, ask about reservations to Lakefront Restaurant upon arrival as it is a small dining room and often booked but the staff does their best to get lodge guests in. Safe travels!

Lovely stay. Everything was great, from the staff/service to the room. Historic lodging can sometimes be cold or dusty but this place was sufficiently warm and very well kept. There was complimentary quality coffee in the day and delicious apple cider in the evenings. There was even a guided nature snowshoe walk in the morning that we sadly didn't have time to participate in. Nice snowy walk to the 2 nearby lakes in the winter, but undoubtedly even better hiking options in the summer. Road to property was a teeny bit icy and wheel pressure dropped quite a bit overnight, but our non winter equipped Tesla ended up fine.

Staff is super nice. Upgrade us after finding out it’s our first time stay.

Rustic stand-alone cabins. Street parking only and you must carry your belongings from the street to the cabin. The paths were uphill and icy during our visit. Care was required to avoid slipping and falling. Take advantage of the complimentary crampons the hotel offers and be safe. Our one bedroom cabin had a kitchen with utensils/pans/pots/plates/mugs/cups and was spacious and comfortable. Fun stay.
