A true year-round outdoor playground is a place called Mammoth Lakes, CA. The scenery is stunning any time of year and there are so many options for adventurous travelers! Mammoth Lakes is a fairly compact town at the base of Mammoth Mountain Resort which means getting around town can be done fairly easily. There is a free shuttle system throughout town that runs year-round and efficiently transports guests from town to areas such as the Main Lodge, which is the jumping off point for the summer shuttle to Devil’s Postpile National Monument and Reds Meadow, or over to Twin Lakes and other lakes beyond for fishing, hiking, and more outdoor pursuits. And, of course, in winter, a shuttle ride is offered to both alpine and cross country ski areas. While in Mammoth Lakes last week, I made it a point to check out The Village Lodge, which is part of the Mammoth Mountain Resort properties. While the condos are all individually owned, the Resort manages most of the condos as vacation rentals. That means you have access to these spacious and comfortable condos, can stay in one of the best locations in town, and enjoy the many amenities at the Lodge! The Village Lodge is in the heart of the Village at the base of Mammoth Mountain. In the winter, the gondola runs right out of the village and gets you onto the mountain! There are 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom condos available, all with full kitchens. The number of bathrooms in each unit matches the number of bedrooms. Perfect for each room getting their own bathroom! Aside from having one of the best locations in town for access to the mountain as well as the restaurants and shopping in the Village itself, The Village Lodge offers many other amenities for a total vacation experience with family and friends. Movies are available from the front desk for you to enjoy in the media room! Exercise rooms with adjoining outdoor, covered hot tub and an arcade room! After you've had an exciting day outdoors, you can come back and relax in the cozy fireside lounge or grab a s'mores kit from the front desk and roast up some marshmallows at the outdoor fire pits! Of course, there's a pool! A year-round heated pool and a large hot tub in the pool area. There are also two other hot tubs on property, making it easy to find one closest to your condo building. The Village Lodge staff, particularly the front desk concierge Monica, are super friendly and eager to make your stay at Mammoth a true pleasure!
