Frank and Martha


9-1-2019 – Thank you so much for sending my blanket. As well, I so appreciate how attentive you all were during our stay at the lodge. We had a wonderful time and look forward to next year!  Kind regards ~ Kelly


8-25-2019 – It’s great to be away from the craziness of town, and the view of the lake is unmatchable. It’s okay to be without a TV for a few days, but we had great cell service.  Margaret


8-24-2019 – We just wanted to thank you so much for our wonderful stay here! Our dining room and kitchen views were incredible, and the staff was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. We loved coming into the office for little chats! All of the dog amenities were so thoughtful, too – the doggy gate and blanket were really creative! Everyone here does such a great job making this feel like a beautiful home away from home, and we can’t wait to stay here again!  David


8-23-2019 – Dear CJ, Thank you so much for your understanding and consideration.  Your outstanding service is a big part of what makes Crystal Crag such a special place.  Mark and I were musing that there are probably many lodging establishments that would not have been honest about the credit to our bill.  I know you never would, but you could have rented Laurel for tonight and we would have never known the difference.  I have appreciated your kindness for the years we have been visiting, but the extra effort you made for us today has helped to restore my belief in the general “goodness” of most proprietors.  And Bodie and Sicily had a blast!  Look for my excellent reviews on Facebook and Yelp (not that you need them.)  Margaret


8-9-2019 – Thank you so much for everything! We look forward to next year at the lodge. You all made us feel like family once again!  Duane and Judy


8-8-2019 – It’s wonderful! We started coming in 1986 and have every year except three. The staff is great. If you love the Sierras, you’ll love Crystal Crag Lodge!  Leslie


6-29-2019 – Wonderful time every year we go. Firewood provided. Scenery is awesome and we’ve seen bears and other wildlife each time. Lake fishing is good fun for all!  Lynette


6-25-2019 – Our best week each year for a lifetime!  Kathy


8-18-2018 – We had a wonderful stay. Next year, we’re going to stay longer. Hope to see you again next summer.  Linda and Terry


8-10-2018- We wanted to thank y’all so very much for your graciousness and kindness during the reservation process (Derek & CJ); also, a big, huge shout out to Darlene and Jeff for accommodating us on August 7th for Duane’s 60th soiree on the deck of the lodge. Thanks to Red and Kathy for just being you and loving on us while we were here! You people continue to make us feel special and welcomed every stinkin’ time we come! You are all amazing and loved by us! Be well.  Duane and Judy


7-18-2018 – Thank you so much. We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was wonderful.  Barbara


6-19-2018 – Thank you CJ, Derek and all the Crystal Crag staff! You were all so kind and welcoming. We had a blast being unplugged and away from the city. We didn’t even miss the electronics! We played cards, board games, fished, hiked, made crafts (painted rocks), rode horses, danced, laughed and made amazing memories. We will definitely be back.  Love, Bradley, Margarita, Family and Rocky (our dog!)


6-15-2018 – Hi Derek and CJ! Thank you for another wonderful vacation at Lake Mary! Have a great summer!  Carol

9-22-2014 – Hello, Derek. My family and I wanted to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for our Mammoth stay at Crystal Crag Lodge Cabin “Purple.” We enjoyed the hospitality from yourself & your sister C.J. The location was absolutely breathtaking, and our cabin provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, enjoyable and most memorable.  The highlight of our trip included the pontoon boat fishing.  All three of our kids caught their very first fish!  My family and I will definitely make this a yearly family tradition!  We are all suffering from Mammoth withdrawals upon our return to reality. We are absolutely looking forward to our next trip to Mammoth Lakes & Crystal Crag Lodge Cabins. Feel free to post our great experience.  Sincerely, Jack & family


Just wanted to say thank you to you, and everyone on the staff — we’ve been home almost a week and my two boys are still talking about what a wonderful time they had.  We’ll be back next summer for sure!  All the best, Matt


We had a wonderful time! Thank you! P.S. We will be back again!  Albert


Best cabin ever!  Damai and Mila
