Pet-Friendly Cabins In Mammoth Lakes (Year-Round)

The Edelweiss Lodge

It doesn’t get any more pet-tastic than the rustic Edelweiss Lodge in “Old Mammoth.” Welcoming pets and their people since 1957 to its knotty-pine cabins and suites, the Edelweiss Lodge knows how to make its four-legged guests feel at home. Dogs can stay for just $20 a day, and their stay is noted with a “welcome basket” including sheets to cover the furniture, waste baggies, bowls and treats. Don’t worry: humans aren’t left out. They can partake in the homemade cookies from the local onsite managers. These sorts of personal touches make The Edelweiss Lodge a family favorite and the perfect place for reunions and getaways.

Tamarack Lodge and Resort

If staying in the heart of the Mammoth Lakes Basin is your desire, then there’s no better choice than the historic Tamarack Lodge and Resort on the sparkling shores of Twin Lakes. The secluded cabins at the Tamarack Lodge and Resort welcome pets (note: rooms at the lodge are not pet-friendly). It’s been a favorite for generations, and for good reason: despite an aura of timelessness hewn in stone and timber, the lodge has one of the most distinctive restaurants in all of Mammoth Lakes, the elegant Lakefront Restaurant, as well as WiFi and all the regular hotel amenities you deserve on vacation.

Pinecliff Resort

Want to feel like you’ve traveled back in time when it comes to both décor and pricing? Consider Pinecliff Resort and its vintage 1950s-style cabins. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it’s remote enough to feel like an escape, but also close to the downtown area and ski lifts. All units are dog-friendly, and several open out onto forested areas perfect for snow play. Each cabin has a full kitchen, WiFi, a fireplace or wood-burning stove, cable TV and easy parking. The property is owner-operated by people happy to handle special requests and last-minute bookings.

Pet-Friendly Cabins In Mammoth Lakes (Summer-Only)

Crystal Crag Lodge

Named after a steep and rugged rock, which can be seen from the Mammoth Lakes Basin, the secluded Crystal Crag Lodge is situated on the shore of Lake Mary. For almost a hundred years, visitors and their pets have enjoyed the lodge’s incredible setting: the lake’s sparkling, trout-filled water; the pure, invigorating air; and the countless tree-lined hiking and biking trails on the edge of the High Sierra back country. Its elevation is high—9,000 feet—but the drive in from town and its conveniences is short. The rustic cabins are fully equipped with stocked kitchens, private bathrooms, fireplaces and decks with barbecues. Some even offer incredible mountain or lake views, and all benefit from the friendly, on-site staff.

Woods Lodge

Another way to get in touch with nature while still enjoying amenities, such as a hot shower, a comfy bed, and pet-friendly cabins, is Lake George’s Woods Lodge. Their rustic cabins have full kitchens and fireplaces, and many boast jaw-dropping views of the property's stunning scenery. If you’re interested in doing more than gazing at the serene water, rowboats and motorboats are available to rent. Birds, squirrels and sometimes even bears can be found at the Woods Lodge, along with the many visitors who’ve been making annual trips here for decades.

Mammoth Mountain Chalets

Nestled in the trees above Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge, the cozy and secluded cabins of Mammoth Mountain Chalets are the epitome of “getting away from it all.” But luckily, your getaway can include your pet at the Mammoth Mountain Chalets. Each charming cabin is conveniently ski-in, ski-out in the winter. In the summer, numerous hiking and mountain biking trails are at your doorstep, perfect for adventures with your pup. Private decks and wood-burning stoves encourage long chats, and many units allow four-legged friends to join in the adventure. Repeat guests love the fully equipped kitchens for family meals after a day of playing on the mountain.
