We had a wonderful 3 night stay here. The cabin is beautiful and spacious. The property has 2 creeks surrounding it. We even had a family of deer pay us a visit. My only complaint is that the dvd player wasn't working but who needs to watch dvds when in nature right? Definitely recommended!

This was my first vacation staying in June Lake (a full week in August) so my observations are based on comparing to the vacation rentals we have had in Mammoth Lakes. As a party of seven, the cabin was comfortable and had ample room for everyone to get together, or have some quiet time. Our stay (including the cleaning fee, taxes, service fee and an additional $118 per night for the 6th and 7th guest) totaled $685 per night. The cabin is large (3,900 square feet), is in a classic wooded setting with running streams, beautifully appointed throughout with American Indian dcor, exposed wood, and plush carpet in the living areas. The overall feel is that you are in a home that has been enjoyed by a family for generations. The rooms in the main cabin areas are palatial. The main entry and the bedrooms in particular have great views and natural light and every room was immaculately clean. Any time we had questions the Property Manager (Robert) was easy to reach and quick to resolve. A few things we would pass on from our experience, you need to start heating the outdoor tub at least five hours in advance. There is an entertainment center with DVD but If you are a sports fan or have a favorite show you are waiting for be aware there is no satellite or cable (the internet is robust so if it is streaming you can watch on your computer). Also be aware you can easily lock yourself out if the side door (where the lock box is) closes behind you and the key is in the house. Same applies for the garage door to the laundry area. I would suggest keeping a key in the lock box at all times ;-) All of the drink ware is glass so if you have kids you might want to bring your own plastic drink ware. We also had an unexpected half day of no electricity due to a scheduled power outage but Robert was apologetic and made allowance for the inconvenience. What would have made our stay stellar would have been having all working screens on the patio doors, screens and working mechanisms on all the windows, laundry soap in the garage, hand soap in the kitchen, and a small compliment of foil, plastic wrap, and basic cooking necessities (salt/pepper/oil/sugar). It would be nice to have small lotions/shampoos in the bathrooms (its what makes it say vacation in my book!) and more pillows on the beds (pillows=luxury). We had an enjoyable stay despite some of the details, which were minor and I only included in the review because it would elevate the chalet from great to superb. I would recommend this rental, particularly for a family, our kids loved playing on the lawn and wading in the stream, swinging in the hammock, and so much more. Best wishes and safe travels!
