During Mammoth's snow season finding a
room to accommodate a family can be quite the challenge. We couldn't have gotten luckier though finding the Austria Hof Lodge. Not only did we get their biggest room which sleeps seven, but it's directly adjacent to the ski slopes at Canyon Lodge.
The first floor of the main lodge is Austria Hof
Restaurant and Cellar Bar while rooms are located on the second and third floors. We checked in at a small window on the second floor where their staff made us feel welcome. Continental breakfast is served here from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. every morning. Our room which accommodates 7 was located across the road at the St. Anton where condos are privately owned and the Austria Hof Lodge is working on acquiring more than the one room they own. The main lodge has rooms which sleep two and four, but an extra mattress can be brought in for a $20 per night fee for parties of five.
Our condo #65 at the St. Anton was spacious
and updated with a tiled entry, granite and Corian counters throughout and a fireplace. Though it's a one bedroom there was also a pull-out sofa for two and a bunk bed against the wall next to the dining table which also had a pull out trundle. They have free high speed Internet access and parking for the condo was most convenient in the underground parking without a chance of getting snowed in.
Our stay in March was cold and stormy and
the snow had reached the roof top of our second story building. A soak in the hot tub located on the second story balcony of the main lodge boasted amazing views of the slopes and was a shame to pass up, but the |
|
trek back to our condo wet and cold seemed intolerable. There was
also a pool and spa at the St. Anton. The rates fluctuate with our condo #65 $215 on weekdays and $250 on Friday and Saturday nights. Rooms in the main lodge run between $140 and $180 during that month.
It was nice having this much living space and the location couldn't be
better. Our stay at the Austria Hof Lodge turned out to be most memorable.
