Cabin (Historic Studio Cabin)

The cabin is part of Tamarack Lodge and Resort at 163 Twin Lakes Road, which sits about 200 feet from Twin Lakes at roughly 9,000 feet elevation. The lodge has welcomed guests on the lakeshore since 1924, and guests have direct access to the Twin Lakes shoreline.

The cabin has one queen bed and sleeps 2 guests. That makes it best suited to a couple or two friends travelling together.

The cabin has a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower. It comes with free toiletries including shampoo and soap, a hair dryer and towels. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

Yes. The cabin has a kitchen, a dining table and a coffee/tea maker, so you can make breakfast or a simple meal. If you would rather eat out, The Lakefront Restaurant is on site.

The Lakefront Restaurant is inside the historic lodge and serves French-California cuisine. Dinner reservations are highly recommended because the dining room is small. The Tamarack Fireplace Lounge in the lobby serves cocktails, local beer and charcuterie, with live music scheduled through the week in winter and summer. Hours vary by season, so check them when you plan your visit.

Dogs are welcome in the resort's cabins, but not in the lodge rooms. The limit is two dogs per cabin. The charge is $30 per dog per night plus a $200 refundable damage deposit. No other pet types are permitted. One listing says dogs are accepted in cabins during the summer season, mid-April to mid-November, so check your dates when booking.

The lodge is the resort's secluded lakeside setting, about a seven-minute drive from the Village at Mammoth, where the closest restaurants and bars are found. Beyond the on-site dining, only hiking trails and the Twin Lakes shoreline are within walking distance. A complimentary seasonal town shuttle serves the property, and the resort has parking, though on-site spaces are limited.

A resort fee of $25 plus tax per room, per night covers internet access, two parking spaces per reservation and seasonal amenities where available. Free Wi-Fi is offered in the rooms and throughout the property.

This is a historic property, and it is not ADA accessible and has no air conditioning. The cabin has in-room heating. Check-in is from 4:00 PM with photo ID and a credit card, the main guest must be at least 18, and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Winter guests can use the Tamarack Cross-Country Ski Center, which has 19 miles of groomed trails. Summer brings bike and boat rentals.
