Sunstone Lodge

#327. A perfect setting for my husband and I. Ski in/​out. top floor with a beautiful view of the mountains. Clean and quiet. Mid week special 50% off. @ Mammoth mountain vacations.

Overall a nice condo in a very nice building. Not giving it 5 stars for 2 reasons, no a/​c as one of the previous commenters noted. Solution was the to use the small fans provided in the unit and open the windows. The other reason was because the access to the key cards is by way of an ancient mailbox with a very temperamental combination lock. 3 of us tried it with no luck which was very frustrating after a long day of travel. We finally called the emergency line for the rental agency which was very responsive to our problem and actually met us at a local restaurant with the keys.

This is a bunch of privately owned condos next to Juniper springs lodge with a pool and Jacuzzi and underground parking.
Pros:
Ski in and out.
Lockers for guests and owners.
Free wi-​fi.
Underground parking.
Rooms have kitchens so you can cook.
Cons:
The wi-​fi is almost unusable because it is so SLOW during peak hours from 4−9pm.
It’s so bad you have to go to the lobby to use it at all during those times.
The parking is for just 1 car only even for larger units where you may have more than one family staying.
There is NO restaurant or gift shop.
There is no one to help you with bags or luggage.
They do not clean your room everyday like at Juniper springs. Bring your own sponge to clean dishes unless you want a nasty used one.
There is no front desk like at Juniper Springs.
It’s a long walk uphill to carry rental stuff from the rental tent to the lockers especially if there is deep snow.

We’ve stayed at the Sunstone property twice now in Mammoth. It’s situated right off of Eagle Lodge, which makes for ski-​in, ski-​out a very attractive plus! Eagle Lodge isn’t always open so if you don’t want to drive or walk to the bus stop — this is something to consider.
In the warmer months, this location is really optimal for hiking and mountain bikers. It’s also very easy and direct to get to the main village as well as shops in town (such as Vons).
The lodge has a nice main room with sofas and chairs by a fireplace. There are always maids around for any extra towels or toiletries needed.
I was able to lay out by the pool most recently. It was clean, quiet, and well-​kept. There was also a generous sized jacuzzi!
We’ve rented a one-​bedroom that comes with a king-​sized bed and two pull-​out (full-​sized) sofas in the living room. The kitchen is well-​stocked with all the pots, pans, plates, and utensils you would need.
There is a full size dining table and flat-​screen TV as well. I know they have various room sizes up to 4 bedrooms and large communal areas.
The unit we’ve rented twice has an incredible mountain view which can be seen from the living room, bedroom, and balcony.
The only reason I’ve deducted a star is because there is no A/​C. Both times we’ve stayed, we found the unit to be kind of stuffy and warm. We’ve just left all the windows and doors open and run the fan to air it out. The heater was never on but it was always warm.
*** Overall a great value and savings over similar units in The Village, but a drive is a must. ***
