INTRODUCTION: My deluxe king studio is situated inside the Westin Monache Resort, the newest and only luxury hotel in town. The location is perfect for your year-round getaway to the Sierras and the town of Mammoth. The Village gondola is about 70-80 steps away and it takes you to Canyon lodge for skiing. If you don't want to take the gondola back down, you can ski back to the village through the ski back trail. Ski rental equipment is available in the ski shop on the lower lobby (LL) level. In the summer, the mountain bike tram picks up in front of the gondola or you can take the free Red Trolley that takes you around the town of Mammoth and the Lakes Basin. Once you park in the free underground parking lot, you won't need your car again. Being at the Village you are in the hub of everything: gondola, shops, restaurants, ski and bike rentals, and free shuttles through town and to Lakes Basin. Stay and save by booking direct from owner!! My nightly rates are discounted from the Westin's. You'll have access to most of Westin's amenities such as year-round heated saline pool (with poolside dining available), hot tubs, 24 hour fitness center, BBQ grills, laundry room, hotel wifi, and FREE secure underground parking.
