About this property

2 Br 3 Full Ba Spacious Townhome - The Ideal Mountain Retreat

Furnished for comfort with all the luxuries and amenities you want in a family vacation, enjoy Mammoth at our mountain inspired town home.

Comfy beds, pillows, linens, and flat screen TVs furnish bedrooms. No sagging mattresses; no squeaky box springs. With brand new heaters, digital thermostats, humidifiers and plenty of blankets, you'll feel extra cozy even on cold dry evenings. Feel the open space and natural beauty of the Sierras as each bedroom has the views of Mammoth -- trees and mountains -- not the neighbors or a parking lot like many rentals. There is even a brand new queen sleeping sofa that promises a good night's rest. Three updated spa like bathrooms offer plenty of privacy and a new extra large water heater ensures plenty of relaxing hot showers.

Enjoy relaxing under cedar cathedral ceilings on the spacious L-shaped living room sofa. Equipped with a state-of-the-art surround sound entertainment system, 1080p LCD flat screen with Cable, Amazon Firestick, Chromecast, and wireless streaming to the stereo. You can kick back and watch a movie, or enjoy music and a toasty fire. Feel free to enjoy our old-school board game or cruise the internet with our 1GB wireless (fastest in Mammoth).

The large dining room table seats 8 comfortably and there is a breakfast bar with stools for the quick breakfast or coffee. With a fully stocked newly remodeled kitchen (microwave, coffee maker, electric water kettle, toaster, utensils) you have all the equipment necessary to make a sandwich or cook a gourmet meal.

The balcony has reclining Adirondack chairs and a beautiful view of the Sherwin range. After a fun filled day outside, store all your gear in our private ski/fishing closet and then relax in the Jacuzzi or sauna mere steps away. In the summer, lounge poolside and have a refreshing swim.

There is a washer and dryer located within the townhouse that is welcome to all guests.

The Woodlands is centrally located to everything. The walk to town, supermarket, movies, and bowling alley is only 6 blocks away. The free red line ski/town shuttle stop is right across the street. Biking, walking paths, the Sierra Star golf course, a sledding hill for the kids, and open meadow for dogs or star gazing are all, literally, right outside the front door.

Wishing we could spend all our time up at the Woodlands, we created a very special, relaxing, and cozy home that we know you will enjoy as much as we do.

Rates do vary per season. Just send us your inquiry and we'll get back to you quickly with a full quote that includes taxes and cleaning. Look forward to sharing our love of Mammoth.

Great family snow trip
The location was perfect for young family of 6. Host was very responsive. We were close to everything. We enjoyed hot tub & sauna within property. The backyard had so much snow for sledding that we didn’t need to go anywhere for snow play. Thx for sharing your home with us,Brad!!!

This property is within walking distance to Restaurants and a 5 minute drive to Eagle Lodge, great location! The Woodlands are well maintained and quiet. The property itself is well appointed and all of the bathrooms have been recently updated with nice finishes. Everything in this condo worked perfectly and the instructions were on point. We will definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay
My family and I had a great time staying here. The place is very clean and cozy. There were some upgrades to the condo that stuck out compared to other condo’s in the Woodlands. The bathrooms and showers have been upgraded and they partitioned off the upstairs loft to make it more of a private space - both of which improved the overall experience. We would definitely like to stay here again.

Teriffic Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend
Our family of five adults and small dog had a terrific Thanksgiving weekend while staying at the Kraus townhouse. We enjoyed the luxury of having our own bedrooms and bathrooms and the open space in the main area - which was quite comfortable and inviting. The remodeled kitchen was a plus too. The complex is situated in a lovely wooded area and within easy walking distance to the town and park. Brad’s communication with us was immediate and precise. We’ll definitely be coming back again.

Mammoth Lakes visit
The property was very nice with a well-equipped kitchen and a large dining table & spacious living room. The condo was very quiet, especially at night. The unit had 3 full bathrooms and 2 king beds in the bedrooms that were very comfortable. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room, but we did not use it. The Woodlands is centrally located and near lots of shopping and an easy walk to the stores and restaurants on Old Mammoth Road. Very friendly host with great communications prior to and during our stay. Thanks Brad, for a great family stay in Mammoth Lakes!

Perfect Mammoth Getaway
We had a great time at the Kraus House. The townhome is very comfy and spacious. It is located in the woods adjacent to the Sierra Star Golf Course. It is a very scenic and well maintained complex. The actual Kraus House had everything we needed. It's located in the heart of Mammoth, close to the Vons and just down the street from the Village. There are plenty of restaurants within 5 minutes. The location makes it easy to get to the lakes for fishing or the Main lodge for downhill mountain biking. My family loved it. I can't find one thing to complain about.

Spacious, great location
Spacious condo with remodeled bathrooms in good location. A couple of issues if visiting in the winter... its quite cold in the condo because the heaters cannot warm it up (there is a restriction on the temperature you can set the heater to). One of the toilets is leaking so quite noisy at night. Also, communication with the owner was lacking. I messaged a couple of times re extra blankets and sheets but did not hear back. When i texted about the leaking toilet though the owner did respond relatively quickly to say it can't be fixed during our stay.

Spacious and Pleasant Atmosphere
We felt at home in this condo and liked the layout better than a similar condo in the same complex. Combination on the front door was very convenient and was nice not to depend on keeping track of a key. Dining room table is huge, larger than we needed for 4 people but would be great if had more people. Initially large TV in living room had no picture, but Brad was very helpful on the phone tracking down the cause (a loose cable probably due to housekeeping cleaning a bit too well) and the problem was promptly fixed. Minor problem: shower sliding door in bathroom on main floor was difficult to open/close but didn't affect us much.The only significant issue was that two of our party felt the beds were too soft and did not provide adequate support, although obviously that is a very individual preference.

Try and have a good time
The house and location are great, our main issue was the attitude of the owner. As soon as you book this place you get this scary list of things that you must do or must not do or else "you will be charged", for example, if you were to touch the wiring for the tv they will charge you an additional $150. Once you arrive you realize that the condo is full of framed lists and instructions as well, so we felt like we were walking on eggshells. A few of the descriptions of the condo are a little misleading., for example the statement that "the kitchen is set up for a causal or a gourmet meal". I have stayed in any number of Vrbo's that don't even mention that and they are better stocked. This kitchen, aside from the typical utensils pots and pans, had nothing except salt, pepper, non-stick spray and some plastic wrap. And a "starter" amount of trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The list included woodfire and matches, so the first night I tried to make a fire with the 3 pieces of wood left in the wood cradle but they were too big to fit, also there was a dead lighter and no matches. I emailed the owner about it and he said that he does not provide wood and what was there was from the previous renter, also the non working lighter. He said "you can go to Rite Aid and buy some" . I said I was disappointed and his response was "Try and have a good time, let me know if you have an emergency". After that response I knew the owner was saying don't bother emailing again unless you're on fire. So I didn't. The house's heating is insufficient and loud, so the first night was pretty uncomfortable, but we had driven 8 hours to get there so we were not going out for firewood. In every heater control there are framed instructions like "do not set it higher than 65 degrees" and the upstairs room has no heating at all. As I said at the beginning, the place is nice and the location great, but we didn't feel welcomed or at home, for sure.

Why they chose this property

Having spent many years in Mammoth, we decided to buy and remodel our townhouse last year because we couldn't resist the ideal location and spacious layout. Views, cathedral loft ceilings, and 3 bedroom/3 bath allows lots of room and total privacy for the whole family. The Woodlands complex, in our opinion, is one of the best Mammoth has to offer. Beautiful landscaping with lots of trees and flowers, pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. It has it all.
