Westin Monache Mammoth, Contemporary Elegance Redefines Mountain Lodging

Please click on image to enlarge

 As was with the Westin Verasa, which we had previously visited, the guest rooms here also featured a kitchenette.  The 2-bedroom suite which we had the opportunity to view had a full kitchen, stocked with all the cooking essentials. The amenities were true to Westin form:  divine Heavenly Bed, flat screen, high definition LCD TV’s and gas fireplaces.  This particular facility features 2,000 square feet of meeting / function space.

We did spend a couple of hours relaxing by the pool.  How could you not with such an inviting pool!   Picture this surrounded by trees and a view of the still-some-snow covered mountains.

Next door is the Village at Mammoth where we walked to for lunch after we settled.  It reminded me of the Village at Beaver Creek where I spent many wonderful and memory-filled summers with my family.  Other nearby attractions include lots of fishing, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, scenic gondola rides at nearby Mammoth Mountain, golf, and ~ of course, skiing and snowboarding in the winter time.  Devil’s Post Pile was also a fun scenic spot to visit.  Mother Nature at her finest and most interesting!   Yosemite Valley is about 2 hours away (separate post).
