“I Never Want To Leave”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2005
2
people found this review helpful

Every year since 2000, we stay at a Mountainback Condo. It's so exhilirating driving up the steep street and looking at one beautiful building after another, wondering which one we'lll be staying in this time. When the sun comes up and hits the front of the building, the color of the wood shingles is warm and rich. Each condo is huge. The long staircase next to the fireplace leads up to the loft bedrooms. My wife likes the kitchen because all accessories are stocked whenever you want to cook a nice meal. The building is built like a mountain fortress beautiful, rugged and solid. I wish my home felt like that. The 2 downstair bedrooms have big windows that open for fresh air and are in an area where you have privacy if you don,t close the blinds. The furniture is very nice and comfortable and the dining table is big.. The condos look very expensive so I imagine this is how wealthy people must live every day. Its fun to open the living room or bedroom doors to enter the outdoor porch. The porch is attractive because it holds fresh split logs for the fireplace. One year we all stood there watching the hail bouncing off the lawn and street for half an hour. Or I'll stand on the lawn and throw a miniature football up to my kids to catch. My wife and I are doctor's and we love this place !!

Stayed October 2004

“Very Nice Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2004

people found this review helpful

The 2 bedroom/loft condo was comfortable and accommodated 6 adults with room to spare. It was also well equipped. If there was any complaint it would be that the view was somewhat limited. Other than that this is a great choice.

“Roomy Condo”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2004
2
people found this review helpful

We had a 2 bedroom, loft, 3 bathroom unit for 4 adults and 4 teenage girls. The unit was spacious and comfortable. When we had any problems , they were tended to immediately. The condo was nicely appointed, the kitchen well equiped. The only criticism that we had, was that the bathrooms had no fans and were not well ventilated. We would stay there again.

“Unethical Management Practices”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2004
14
people found this review helpful

My family searched on the internet for lodgings at Mammoth and came across the web page for Mountainback. After viewing their available units, we contacted Mountainback to confirm their location and to inquire about making reservations. We were told that all reservations needed to be handled online through their reservation service. So, we went back online and made our reservation. Subsequently, we received a call from the management company indicating that the rate that our reservation was booked at was not correct and that we would have to pay an additional $1100.00 for the reservation. After contacting the company, they refused to honor our reservation at the confirmed price.
This company is one of the most unethical I have ever dealt with and we are currently filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Mammoth Visitors Bureau and the Federal Trade Commissiion.

Christmas reservations have never been accepted online due to the complexity of our rate structure during this busy holiday period. Our web site clearly stated in 14pt red type that units may be viewed online, but reservations during the dates of December 15 and January 5 will not calculate correctly and reservations must be made by phone. This has been our policy since the online system was first established.

We apologize if there was any misunderstanding, our rates are clearly posted on the web site and competetive with similar properties in Mammoth.

“Don't ever waste your time here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2003
12
people found this review helpful

We had the unfortunate luck to find this one of the only condominiums available for rent over the recent Christmas Holiday. Unlike many of our other stays at condos in Mammoth, this one was horrible! This place is old, out-dated, unsafe, and in a terrible state of disrepair. The management company was unwilling to fix problems when reported, and only tried to fix them after repeated calls. (Imagine a condo in the mountains during winter with limited heat!) Don't waste your time here. There are much, much better places to rent. I would never, ever stay here again, or recommend it to anyone. Beware!

We are sorry if this guest did not recieve the services expected during their stay. However, condominiums at Mountainback can be rented from at least 7 different agencies. Placing blame on Mountainback as a whole is unfair. We represent Mammoth Mountain Reservations (under new ownership as of 5/1/03), the onsite management company which handles rentals for about 1/2 the units at Mountainack. This guest should be more specific as to which company his problems were with. Mountainback continues to be one of Mammoth's finest properties and we hope the comments of one guest will not deter you from staying with us. I you have any questions, please call me at 760-934-5000.
