    Snow outside on patio piled up to the ceiling, broken blinds, unable to eat outside with friends.

    We were very disappointed in our stay. While we LOVED Mammoth, and plan to return many times, we will never book with this company again. The manager was inattentive and only responded when she wanted to. First of all, I asked about walking to the lift, and received no response. Reason being; they advertise ski in/ski out and that is not the case. This is why we booked a more expensive, yet smaller place - in a pandemic we wanted to limit our exposure in the lodge. You can, technically ski to a few chairs, but only after walking down a drive way, then walking down a steep hill that was not appropriate for skiing, particularly for young kids. Five days before we were set to arrive, I asked to extend my stay by one day, which the manager obliged. The first few days we were here, my son got very sick and I asked to cancel that last day we didn't plan for initially and the manager was entirely unsympathetic and rude. Understanding the cancellation policy, I would have appreciated some polite customer service here of perhaps offering to work with us, as good respectful tenants who would otherwise return many times. We ended up staying that extra night because we were paying for it anyway. There were numerous other issues. Upon arrival we noticed that the garage barely fit our mid-sized SUV. Not having the ski in/out capabilities that we planned for, this was very inconvenient. There wasn't even a way into the condo from inside the garage (there was a door- but again; I got no response when I asked about it). The carpet in the condo is absolutely filthy with stains everywhere, and needs to be replaced. Again, in a pandemic, you would expect utmost cleanliness. It seemed unsanitary. The couches were also very old and dust kicked up whenever we sat down. The back porch was snow-filled up to the ceiling and entirely unusable. Part of our vacation plans were to spend it with our friends-- outside-- and we could not do this because there were no snow removal services at the condo. The blinds are also broken. The place where the kitchen tiles meet the carpet also creates a gap due to a lack of repair where we have stubbed our toes many times. The beds in the room our kids stayed in were also mis-represented. The booking lists as a queen, in fact it is two beds pushed together, which none of the bedding we brought would fit. The tv remote did not work, there were barely any channels and we could not watch Netflix because of the broken remote. The DVD player also did not work. My husband and I were both here working for part of the trip, and the wifi only worked in the living room- and it was spotty at best. Finally, last night when we returned from dinner, we were locked out and the code did not work, as if the management company had already checked us out. Luckily someone answered the contact number and he was able to give me a new code. We spent a lot on this trip (around $500 a night including fees) and we do not feel like we received the appropriate service.

    We rent a lot of vacation condos. It's a great way to vacation, especially with family and extended family. It's expensive, but not what you consider the comfort and ability to entertain and have meals in the comfort of a well appointed apartment. All that's to say that I am familiar with the concept, am comfortable with the costs, and have dealt with more than one rental company. 101 Great Escapes provided one of the best, professional and helpful experiences I have ever experienced. The company is operated by a husband and wife team. At every turn they were responsive and helpful. They explained the process, had a complete packet of information that was complete and detailed. As we arrived late I was impressed when they kept the office open on a dark, rainy (and snowy) evening. A real good experience. I would recommend this organization.

    Filthy carpet

    This rental was nothing like it was described. It was in poor condition. Ripped furniture. Broken smoke detector. Dirty carpet. Broken glassware. Broken DVD player. Filthy disgusting jacuzzi. I reached out to the property management as soon as we arrived. They did not respond.

    The guy at the check-in place was very cool, friendly, and likeable. The property at Timber Ridge was an excellent location. I could easily walk to and from the slopes from there. The hot tub at the club house was great. The main living area/kitchen was roomy and nice. The bedrooms were very ordinary. The furniture was old (drawers with built in VHS tape holders?). The Apple TV was missing a remote, rendering it useless. I called the maintenance man and left a message. Never heard back from him. We enjoyed being so close to the slopes, but the owner should update the furniture and carpet, especially for the price we paid to stay there.

    We stayed there the week of 8/8-8/10 in #123. We were a little closed minded as we were afraid of being let down. Instead, we absolutely loved it. Desk guy was very friendly, gave us suggestions on what we should explore and eat! We also got to check in early (2pm). The rooms are normal bedroom sizes. I got to stay in the upstairs bedroom which was very cozy. Pros: -Community hot tub that fits up to 15 people -Community sauna -Vons(Safeway), The Village, Dominos, and a bunch of local restaurants were only 8-10 minute drive -Lakes are very close by -TV in every room, All silverware/kitchenware/Towels are provided Cons: -No curtains on the window by door and living rooms. (people can see inside) -On 8/9 and 8/10, the hot water was shut off so it was like taking a really cold shower while ice cubes are being thrown at you. Overall it was a great experience and we hope to stay here again. In fact, we want to annually come back here for the summer. :)

    Did you know that Mammoth Premiere Reservations charges a $30 RESERVATION FEE. This is the first…read moretime I've heard of a reservation fee. We got the condo called WOODLANDS 11. There were a few basics missing that soured the experience: *The place is listed for 9 people, well, there are only 8 bed spots. Somebody had to take the couch. *There were only 9 towels. What do they expect us to use for the Jacuzzi? Not cool. *Posted on the refrigerator, it says fresh towels will be delivered every other day. We slept there 3 nights. When I called to get towels, the reply was "We only provide towels on the 4th day". How is 4 days "every other day"? *Cheap on the paper towels. There was a pitiful few sheets left on the current roll and there was no back-up roll either. *No washer & dryer unit. *Spinning spice rack with 20 lil bottles, almost all empty. Empty spice rack bottles are a bad tease. *No oil, no plastic wrap, no aluminum foil. Dude, all other cabins seem to have these basics.

    With the recent snow fall here in So Cal a few friends and I decided to head north to Mammoth to…read moreget some snowboarding in. After a quick internet search I found Mammoth Premiere Reservations. They had a few different types of places available ranging from on the mountain to in the Village. We settled on a location listed as "within walking" distance to the lifts. I called MPR to ask what exactly is "walking distance"? I've stayed at other places listed as "walking distance" only to find out you need two dog sleds and a Sherpa to get anywhere. And, lets face it after a day on the mountain even the shortest of walks can fell like the Iditarod. The lady on the phone said the walk was about 3/4 of a city block. It seemed ok to us and we decided on a loft with a sleeper sofa that sleeps 4 (We only had 3). Check in: We arrived on Friday evening (around 6pm) to pick up the keys at the office. The office was easy to find just a few turns once you get into town and the staff was very nice even this late in the day. They also may have been high from the paint fumes since the office is also connected to a paint store. They provided a map to get to our condo (Mammoth Ski and Racquet 101) and it was easy to find. We also had covered garage parking which came in handy with the blizzard that came Saturday night. The condo was clean and more modern then many ski resort locations I've stayed at in the past (actually had an LCD TV). The unit had an upstairs loft (with bed and TV), sleeper sofa, dining room table, full kitchen and two full bathrooms. Location was close enough to walk to the lift but what they failed to mention were the hills you needed to walk up and down to get there. Throw in the snow and icy conditions and its just that much harder. I'd still stay there just maybe add a few more days of cardio before I go. Check out: We were set to stay until Sunday night after a full day of boarding but apparently Mother Nature had other plans. A snow storm hit Saturday night causing the lifts to be closed most of the day and when they did open they only opened the smaller runs which weren't worth the walk up or down the hills. We then decided to try and head back When you leave a condo rental, on the fridge when you leave are lists of things you're suppose to do when you check out. Now I don't mind picking up after myself but I figure when I pay close to $600 for 3 nights of lodging that someone else would take out the trash. Maybe next time I can take some paint from the office/paint store and do some touch ups? I probably would have given 5 stars if not for the walk up and down the hill and since this is my first review I don't want to come off as too easy. That's when people will start to talk.
