Chamonix Condominiums

Didn’t have a good experience first night here. Place was a mess upon our arrival at 7:00 pm. Had to call after hours hot line to have it cleaned. Left for a couple of hours, came back and within minutes of walking through the door with our luggage, jackets still on, some crazy lady from downstairs came pounding on our door yelling that we were making to much noise stomping around which was disturbing her relaxation and she was calling the owner and having us kicked out! Nothing like walking on egg shells the rest of our weekend! Yikes! Oh and let me add that only one out of the 3 TVs worked! The only good thing about this place is location otherwise we will never stay here again!!!

My wife and two kids stayed here four nights during Christmas to be close to Canyon Lodge and away from crowds.
CONDO A-​17… When making reservation get specific photos to your condo.
Positive– property is dated… but Condo 17 is very cozy with some up grades. They have everything you need. Kitchen allowed us to make a full prime rib meal. The kitchenware was very nice. Bunk beds and bedroom beds are ok.
Jacuzzi and rec room are a plus to hang out when it was snowing.
Negative– Blinds broken in bedroom, internet is slooooow, basic cable, couple rusty knifes.
Free continental breakfast at the Austria Hof is the same everyday.
Heater turn on and off all night and can keep you up… as it did me.
I do recommend this condo but its pricy during Christmas.

Owners of Condo A-​13 — The Jennings — have done a wonderful job making a plain Jane condo super comfy, modern, warm and inviting! With the Canyon Lodge parking area practically at your doorstep Chamonix has perfect proximity to squeeze every last dime out of your lift passes. Then return «home» to this unit fully stocked with clean, newer kitchen supplies and all the amenities of home (wine glasses, coffee maker, dishwasher — the Jennings have it all). Granite counters and newer furnishings as well as large flat panel TVs in living and bedroom areas. Oh and don’t forget the boot warmers and fully-​loaded fireplace! What’s a trip to the slopes without a fire? Chamonix also boasts two extra large hot tubs and a large fire pit area stocked with two stainless steel BBQs. In Summer they have a pool that looks inviting and all year round a spacious indoor family zone with large screen TV and pool table. Suffice it to say we will be back! Great job Jennings Family!

We always hav this condo every night of lights in mammoth. big n spacious beds n rooms. jus a walking distance to the canyon lodge .u got everything u need for cooking n we haven’t had any problems regarding heater n water so that’s y we always come back here every winter

Great place to stay at when you’re @ Mammoth.
Very nice & warm. nice fireplace (which wont even light up) –1
Very close to lifts (within walking distance)
Great clean & warm accomodations =)

Our friend decided to book a mammoth trip and ended up finding this condo. It has everything we need to make our stay comfortable. Nice décor, warm colors, fully furnished, everything works, fireplace with logs, and plus free Wifi. Made my stay enjoyble, warm and cozy.

this place is ok. very thin walls. i havent been on a bunk bed in forever! at least everything works properly and they have complimentary logs for the fireplace. unlike bear.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Great space, nice kitchen, fireplace, loved the décor. Very home-​like. Walkable distance to the mountain and the price was super fair :-) Highly recommended!

Great little condo. Easy to get in and out. Nice kitchen and living room area. It had a tiny double maybe queen bed in the bedroom, but we survived. Great location too.

I stay here 98% of the time when I’m up in Mammoth. Great accommadtions and walking distance to the lifts. Can’t choose a better area.

Very nice condos, and within a block walking distance from Mammoth Mountain’s Canyon lodge, so put on your ski boots, brave the cold and you’re at the mountain in no time ready to go.
Condo facilities are nice, modern and clean with free wireless internet for guests, full kitchen and bathroom facilities. Stayed at a unit with a group of 10, plenty of room to go around and the working fireplace was a very nice touch.
Each condo unit gets 2 free parking spots but if there are more cars, then the others will have to figure out where elsewhere to park
Between the 10 of us we only had to pay about $ 110 each per night for 2 nights in a 2 BR + loft with 3 full bathrooms, so not bad at all, would definitely recommend and stay there again if I get the chance.

I’ll start by qualifying the 4 star review by saying it’s really 3.5 stars, but until my neverending request for Unilocal to allow half-​stars in the review is realized, I’ll have to just pick one. And I’ll round up.
We’ve stayed at these condos every year for 4 years now and I have no intention of going elsewhere in the future. It’s just about right at the base of Canyon Lodge, which unlike Main lodge isnt insanely crowded, and unlike Eagle lodge isn’t far out of the way. The Gondola to Mammoth Village is also at Canyon Lodge, so you can take that straight down with no worries. From the condos to the lodge it’s about 100 yards, but there’s only one other place to stay that’s closer and their amenities aren’t as good.
Canyon has free parking in a spacious lot, and the options of condo sizes are plenty. This last time we stayed in a 2 BR 3 BTH plus loft, which slept 6 people quite comfortably and everyone had their own bathroom (a MUST!). It also had WiFi (also a MUST), cable TV, a dining room, bar, storage closet, and full kitchen. The living room had comfy furniture (which we used to watch the NFL games on during MLK weekend while we were there) and the heating units do a fine job of keeping the whole place nice and comfy.
Right across the parking lot (about 50 foot walk) is the rec center, which includes a big screen tv, pool table, sauna, laundry, towels, and 2 very nice, large in-​ground hot tubs. Normally I stay away from hot tubs since they’re the closest thing to a petri dish you can get outside a laboratory, but these are obviously maintained, cleaned, and actually rarely used… I was always the only one there every time I went in the afternoon. They’re also private even though they’re outside, and nobody can get in without a key to the condo units.
Now we get to the loss of 1.5 stars: 2 things, mainly:
#1– there is no maid service, which is fine since they’re condos, not a hotel. And they do towel exchange, which means you can bring all your used towels to the rec center and get all new, freshly cleaned towels. You can do this every day… BUT only between the hours of 3:30pm-5:30pm. While you can argue that is the perfect time, since the mountain closes at 4pm and everyone should be back home during that window, this would be true IF the guy that ran the towel exchange was actually there. But he wasn’t, and left a very poorly spelled sign saying to call a number if nobody was there. Only problem with that was 1) the number only had 7 digits… no area code. What area code was i supposed to dial?! and 2) When we figured that part out (we guessed), he didn’t answer. We had to call the main Chamonix admin line, and the woman there had to keep trying to get a hold of him for a half hour and eventually called us back when she found him. Only a minor annoyance, but loss of half a star.
#2– This loses a full star: The beds. Please, for the love of the ski and snowboard gods, if you own or rent a condo at one of the most popular mountains in the west coast, at the base of a lodge, where you KNOW people are always going to be renting it, at least get some decent beds! The beds, while mostly comfortable when laying still, were like water beds when you moved even the slightest bit… and they werent water beds. If the other person in the bed moves even slightly, your whole bed will bounce and roll for 3 seconds. It’s impossible to not wake the other person up if you move. Both couples in each bedrooms complained about this… word to the wise, we stayed in unit A-​2, which by all other accounts is a great unit. Just bring a sleeping bag or plan to sleep on the couch, which is actually quite comfy.

Stayed here during Mammoth trip 2009. Loved it! Yes, I know it’s kinda far from all the amenities like shopping centers or restaurants or even supermarket, but it’s a 2minute walk to the lift at Canyon Lodge, how could I complain? We don’t have to take our cars and fight for parking spots at the «always crowded» Canyon Lodge.
We had the condo for 3 nights that sleeps about 10 people for about $ 1500 total. Do you ask if it’s worth it? Hell yeah! I think the place was supposed to have indoor hot-​tub, but we never used it, so I don’t know for sure.
We were also given a couple of parking spots extra than the 2 we were already assigned to. The condo is albeit older, but it’s still nice. Very small kitchen area, but it’s enough for the weekends. It’s clean and it’s 3 stories with 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a loft. Overall I like staying here, so I would definitely pick this place if I am given options.
