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

I raised my rating of this place to two stars because, after all, it is a cabin, quiet and fully furnished. But the facility needs a complete remodel--the carpet of my cabin was absolutely filthy and the sofa looked like it had been there since the 1960s. I feel sorry for the maid, because there is no way he or she could make this place look clean. There was a kitchen but no surface area to prepare meals on. Altogether depressing.

The charming cabins at the lodge are worth every penny....relax by the fireplace after a day of hiking. The location is stunning overlooking Twin Lakes and close enough to town to make it an easy drive to pick up your morning coffee (if you don't have it at the lodge) or dinner at one of the restaurants in town (if you don't have it at the lodge!) The beds are comfortable, the cabins are private and well stocked with everything you might need. I can't wait to go back again!!

Tamarack Lodge was so cozy and such a scenic location. We really enjoyed the room and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location at Twin Lakes was perfect and very convenient to drive into Mammoth. There's activities like bike riding and great trails near the lodge. Breakfast was good and their lunch and dinner were great.

Serene, beautiful and peaceful w/ an amazing staff running the place, Tamarak Lodge is unmatched in places to stay. Have to give a big shout out to Micheal at the front desk who was an enthusiastic help in making us feel at home, as well as assisting in places to see in the surrounding area. Michael at one point pulled over in his car in the lot (on his break) and helped us find our way to a trail. Maura (spelled differently) was also extremely friendly and helpful. What a place ! WOW great job Tamarak Lodge for hiring such great people

Hotel is in a great location, however “rustic charm” simply means old, worn down and worn out. The Lodge is in dire need of a renovation. We stayed in the main lodge (not cabins) so I can’t speak of them. Our room (2) had a hole in the ceiling and I could see a tarp stuffed up there (presumably to keep out rain?). The floor was damp near the bathroom and generally the room was unclean and shabby, patched and mended. Doors and walls are paper thin (in the bathroom I could hear our neighbor snoring). Dinner is billed as fine dining. Food was good but as expensive as big city ($50 entrees) and definitely NOT worth the price. Breakfast was very poor. Basically $25 for toast, packets of instant oatmeal (or some cereal), muffins, eggs, brought out on a tray (or delivered to room in a bag). Think a Holiday inn type breakfast - but without the hot items. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

Our cabin was comfortable and clean and the staff friendly, especially Jeff Smith, head of maintenance who was very helpful and available immediately when we had a problem with our internet. My husband, our lab Gracie and I love Tamarack Lodge and always look forward to returning every year. Joyce Stepanek

My wife and I have stayed here over 30 years and enjoy the cabins and area immensely. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Jeff Smith is the maintenance manager and responded and fixed a wifi problem within minutes and then returned daily to check that everything was good. Jeff and the rest of the staff is great.

The cabin is in need of major renovations. Floors, bathroom, bedding, windows stick, couch and just about everything else as well. The kitchen was clean, refrigerator, and stove. We’re good, but needed a bowls for meals prep for example. Not worth $400 plus a night. Also wasn’t made aware that the lake had leeches in it so no swimming advised.
