estled among the trees right alongside beautiful Lake Mary at an elevation of 9000 feet are the cabins of Crystal Crag Lodge, a most exceptional place. But be careful. This can can be habit-forming. Since the 1920’s our guests have been coming back year after year to enjoy our breathtaking beauty, crystal clear air and water, amazing wilderness scenery, countless hiking and biking trails, some of the best trout fishing in the Eastern Sierra, and the relaxing and friendly atmosphere of Crystal Crag Lodge. Our rustic cabins are fully-equipped, including fireplaces with firewood, decks with barbecues, kitchens with utensils and dishes, and bedrooms and bathrooms stocked with towels and linens. Many cabins have incredible views of the lake and the mountains, and of course our staff of friendly hosts will meet all your needs.

 

     

        nly a few minutes drive up the road from the stores and restaurants of Mammoth, Crystal Crag Lodge feels very secluded. We are right at the edge of the High Sierra back country, and close by are dozens of lakes, streams, and waterfalls, just an easy walk, car ride, bike ride, or hike away. Trophy-sized trout are a regular occurrence at Lake Mary, just a few steps away from your cabin door. So come and experience all the pleasures of the mountains and all the comforts of home at Crystal Crag Lodge.

"Paradise Found for Anglers, Nature Lovers, Old and Young" My family has met at Lake Mary every year for the last 20 years with our trailers, motor homes etc. and always had fun. This year, we decided to stay at the Crystal Crag Lodge which has always looked inviting with their pretty cabins and private dock. For an entire week we found a little piece of heaven looking out our windows at some of the most beautiful scenery on earth from our rustic yet completely modernized cabins with all the comforts of home. As if that weren't enough, the owners and staff treated us as if we were part of their family, making sure we had everything we needed right down to clean towels, extra bedding and even charcoal for the BBQ's. They even threw a "Hotdogs & Horseshoes" BBQ for all the guests and friends which was a blast. I felt as if I'd known those people all my life! To top it all off, we all caught the largest rainbow trout in our lives, 2 of them were over 6 lbs, and had a big "Fish Fry" on our last night there. The only problem we had was having to leave!   --Karen W      "Yeah, we are coming back!!!!!" Go stay at CCL and have the time of your life! This was our first stay here, and we are definitely going to be repeat customers!! The employees were very helpful from the start to the end. Our son broke his collar bone at the bike park and we had to cut our week stay short. We had to leave four days early. The staff was extremely accommodating to us in making sure our son was comfortable. When we returned home, they even called to make sure we made the trip home OK and also to let us know they were able to rent our cabin for the rest of the week, so we would not be out any money. All in all, we are coming back next year to enjoy the lake and the scenery and the very helpful staff. Thanks Crystal Crag Lodge, you guys are awesome!!!!!   --Judy B      "New Owner is Great!!!" My family has been staying at Crystal Crag Lodge since 1963. This time we gathered for a small family reunion occupying four cabins. The cabins were clean with new mattresses. Derek, Pam, and Tom were great hosts.  For those that have never stayed at Crystal Crag, this is a rustic setting with incredible views. We've already booked next year and can't wait to return!   --Chris M
