"We stayed in the Miner’s Cabin, a “tiny house” at the very edge of the property, hoping for “dark sky” views and a desert experience. We loved it! We had everything we needed, including great AC, and convenient amenities were cleverly tucked into corners and crevices of the small building, The little porch out front was perfect for relaxing, and watching the sky, the landscape, and the little wild burros that were hanging out nearby! The on-property restaurant was excellent (we so enjoyed...

Top Eastern Sierra Hotel Reviews

The Sierra House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay with the Sierra House, our room was so spacious, clean, and with mountain view. Check in was super easy, the lady at the front desk was nice and welcoming. Plenty of parking spaces. Breakfast included would have been amazing. Overall, just perfect and still within short distances to shops and restaurants. Our room feels we are so secure. We would go stay again if in the area. Thank you."

Juniper Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We always stay at Juniper Springs Resort whenever we visit Mammoth Lakes. We really love this hotel, especially the well-equipped rooms with fully functional kitchens, and the front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. However, during our last two stays, the front desk assigned us a room type that differed from what we had originally booked. Because we drive a long way to get here each time, having to go back to the front desk to change rooms wasted a lot of our time when we were already tired. Despite this issue, we still love the hotel and will continue to choose it for our future trips to Mammoth Lakes. We just hope this room assignment process can be improved!"

Whispering Pines

10/10 Excellent

"this was a very nice place to stay. the bed i had was very comfy slept like a baby. the cabin had everything we needed to cook and clean. the outside was a little rough. the inside was clean but the ceiling was getting ready to fall. big bulge. but this would not stop me from staying again. no management on site. but it was easy to get in and out. great place to stay !"

The Village Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"There were many burdens, but parking and even the room were very convenient. In the evening, I was able to spend some leisurely time in the hotel's restaurant lounge. The rooms were fully equipped with amenities, so there was no inconvenience. That's why I'm thinking of this hotel again this winter during my visit."

Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel - Inside The Park

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stuff and the management. In particular what I like is how they dealt with the situation of their ice vending machine failure due to heat. Instead of blaming it on weather and asking people to just buy ice, they themselves probably bought packets and were giving it for free to people. This reflects the attitude of the management. Location is of course amazing if you want to do stargazing. However, the restaurant didn't have any vegetarian food options."
