Staying at this hotel felt like pure luck. It genuinely made our entire trip so much better.
We actually spent two nights at The Village Lodge Mammoth and two nights here, and honestly… I kept thinking, why did we even pay so much to stay at The Village Lodge?
From the moment we checked in at Outbound Mammoth, the vibes were immaculate. The staff was incredibly friendly and even upgraded us to a better room than what we originally booked, which immediately put us in a great mood.
Everything about this place was on point—the bar, restaurant, pool, and overall atmosphere were flawless. The location was also a huge win. It’s even more convenient than staying near the Village, with amazing restaurants and grocery stores just around the corner.
We’ll absolutely be staying here again next time—no question. Already can’t wait to come back!

Chegamos às 22h para o check in depois de uma viagem de 7horas dirigindo, sem lugares para parar o carro, e para piorar não pudemos tomar banho, pq não havia água quente, no inverno! Crianças correndo e fazendo barulho, pessoas que chegam em seus quartos depois das 23h fazendo barulho, bem frustrante e desconfortável. O gerente não resolveu a questão da água fria….Nao recomendo!

I loved the hotel, and the experience, but I really want to highlight a staff member - Debby Hildebrand. I had no intention of staying here as I was driving from Vegas to Reno, but got stuck here in a snowstorm. Debby went OUT OF HER WAY to help me, including making sure my dog Peanut got treats. She kept checking the weather/roads for me the next day. She offered late checkout. But the icing on the cake - the following morning, she offered to take me to a local thrift store in her personal vehicle so that I could find chains for my car and save money (I have a Mustang, no chains, and don't know how to put them on). She knew exactly how to help me find the right ones, I saved a TON of money by going to the thrift store too! Then when she told me I needed to have some cash to pay the "chain monkeys" to put them on if needed, I asked where the closest bank was so I could withdrawal some cash. She opened up her wallet and gave me cash so that I didn't have to go to the bank!! (Don't worry, I venmoed her back). Debby was LITERALLY my angel during this stay, and in the crazy weather circumstances, I don't know how I would have gotten home without her. I travel about 50% of my life, and I don't think I've ever had an employee at a hotel be that amazing to me! If I could give her 10 stars I would. Debby is the BESTTTTTT!!!!!
