My family and I had a wonderful time in this cozy cabin. Check-in was easy and smooth. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed bringing my pup. Our morning walks were beautiful, with views of the snow-capped mountains. It's a great location, just out of town, but close enough to get to everything quickly.

Thank you very much for taking a moment to share your experience with us and we hope to have you back again soon for a return trip.
We had a wonderful experience at Sierra Meadows Ranch and hope to make this our go to Mammoth spot! The location is close to town and the ski hill, but feels like a tranquil mountain getaway. The space had everything we needed, including a dog bed for our fur baby. Mark was very communicative, welcoming and made us feel at home.
Great, clean place with tons of amenities near Mammoth ski resort and town. We felt very comfortable. The communication from the host was also top notch! Highly recommend staying!

Thank you very much for taking a moment to review your stay with us. We are happy to hear you had a great stay! We hope you can make a return visit soon!
I love the Sierra Ranch. It has all the necessities for a nice get away. Everything is conveniently close by.. the only issue I had staying at this particular cabin was the master bed was little uncomfortable. Given that there are extra blankets we managed to soften the bed a bit.
Otherwise, by far my favorite place to visit.

Hi Carlee, We are sorry you found the bed too firm for your preference. Our mattresses are about a 7/8 on the 1-10 scale of firmness with a soft or pillowtop feature. Mattress firmness is very personal, but we try to have comfortable mattresses for most people. As a returning guest, we value your feedback. We can provide our guests with an additional pillowtop upon request. So, please come back and make sure we have that available for you.
My wife and I stayed in the minaret cabin for memorial weekend. It’s a great location, close to everything in mammoth but you don’t feel like you’re in town. We also had our two small dogs with us. We loved having trails nearby we could walk the dogs on. The cabin was clean and well kept. Both my wife and I didn’t like the firmness of the mattresses. Just too hard for us.
The manager Mike was very helpful, and kept in contact throughout our stay.
Overall a good place to stay, especially with dogs.
We enjoyed our stay.
Manager Mr. Deeds is super nice.
This is great for two people.
Any more, unless two very small children is too tiny.
