We were there for the week after Christmas. The week prior they had a huge snow storm (10-feet) and when we were there, another 2-feet plus!

They snow-mobiled us up, but many opt for skiing in and out. The staff is very friendly and my 11-year-old loved the camp dog, "Pete." Other familes were staying there and during off times, the kids played chess, board games and went sledding together.

The food was OMG excellent. House-made breads and soups...all splendid. Each night (we stayed 5-days) we thought it was the best meal ever, but then the next night seemed to top the previous.

We stayed in a modern cabin with heater and kitchen and bathroom and loft for the kids. Somewhat plain and indeed "modern," but exceedingly comfortable.

The heavy snows made it an amazing winter-wonderlandin every sense of the word - it was spectacular to be there.

We stayed in one of the old cabins that they called modern cabin #13. It looked out on the parking lot and equipment shed. It was extremely run down. For example the bathroom fixture was hanging loose and I was fearful that it would fall down. The floor in the bathroom was falling apart and the wood was stuffed haphazardly so that you would not get splinters. The whole cabin was dirty. I was glad that I brought a sheet to cover the bedspreads that looked like it wad been there for many years.
The positive was that you are in beautiful hiking country and right beside a creek. Only stay here if you can have one of the new cabins.

For years are friends having been telling us about staying at Rock Creek Lodge in the winter.
We have hiked Little Valley in the summer and it is amazingly beautiful but
always crowded.
This year my husband ask me what I wanted for Valentines Day and I said a stay at Rock Creek Lodge.
He was able to book a rustic cabin only two days prior to the three day weekend.
We snowshoed 15 miles over the weekend and only saw 6 other people.
Rates include breakfast and dinner and both meals were unbelievably good.
Dinner is 4 courses and gourmet but all you can eat.
Our cabin was #6 and right on the creek.
Our friends stayed in #8 which was even more charming for its view.
We will be going again for sure!

We have been talking about going to Rock Creek Lodge for dinner forever. We finally ventured out 2 weeks ago. My husband and I brought our back country skis and skied up to the Lodge ( 30 -45 minutes on wide open cat track) and our two guests took an exhiliarating ride on a snowmobile to the Lodge. We were joined by 30 plus merry people celebrating a birthday. What a great experience. Beautiful and rustic setting. The food was served family style and was delicious. We brought in our own wine and beer but they offered a limited but nice and well-priced selection. We skied out and our friends took the snowmobile back in the dark. I would totally recommend this for an evening for the adventurous or good-spririted types. We all talked about how fun it would be to stay the night. Hopefully we will get to do that another time. We will definitely be back and bring our friends. Note, it is about a 20-30 minute drive outside of Mammoth Lakes. Make reservations and be on time or you will miss out on a memorable evening. This is an entire evening adventure so don't expect to get in and out in an hour, enjoy the experience!!
