We stayed in one of the little cabins at Mammoth. It was immaculate and very peaceful. We enjoyed the dark skies, the sound of the birds chirping, and the beautiful location. I would definitely stay again. We ate lunch at the little cafeteria. Homemade pizza was outstanding - made fresh for us! Great little place!!

Really cute place and I liked the ambiance of the historic cottage. However some lights on the path would make it much safer to walk there at night

The cottage was very nostalgic . Just what they said they would be. Although the floor needed a good cleaning. Definitely showed some age but it does appear they are working on up grades. The beds were comfy and it was convenient to the caves!

Staff was extremely helpful. The room had paint peeling from the walls and ceilings, bathroom cabinet did not close, and there was a spider web in the corner by the table. Room could use sanding, fresh paint, and a second nightstand. Bed was very comfortable.

The room was nice and the staff was amazing, but pass on the "historic cottages" as they are a bit rough. The rangers who conducted the tours are well versed and quite knowledgeable about the caves and the park.
