Rock Creek Lodge Cabins: Mountain Stays in Mammoth Lakes

Perched at 9,600 feet in the eastern Sierra near Mammoth Lakes, Rock Creek Lodge offers an authentic mountain retreat set apart by its combination of rustic charm and modern comfort. This collection of well-maintained cabins, ranging from cozy single rooms to spacious mountain dwellings, sits along a lively creek with forested trails and alpine meadows at the doorstep. Guests here invest in a prime location that’s a short drive from some of California's most striking day hikes and outdoor recreation, including the John Muir Wilderness and Mammoth Mountain.

Rock Creek Lodge serves as more than just a basecamp; it’s a hub for those seeking to unplug without losing comfort. The cabins, praised for their cleanliness and character, balance old-school forest cabin vibes with modern amenities like hot showers and well-equipped kitchens. The site’s creekside setting invites morning walks to nearby ponds, where friendly horses occasionally appear along the path—a quiet reminder of the area’s ranching history.

During winter, Rock Creek Lodge becomes a cozy hideaway for ski and snowmobile enthusiasts, with seasonal service delivering guests directly to their cabins across snow-blanketed trails. In summer, the lodge’s dining hall welcomes both visitors and locals on weekends with hearty breakfasts, reinforcing a sense of community rare at high altitude.

With consistent praise for attentive service from Jan and her crew, and a well-reviewed infrastructure offering showers, ice, and firewood, Rock Creek Lodge stands as a reliable yet special retreat. It’s a gateway for adventurers wanting to tackle nearby peaks, fish mountain streams, or simply soak in the crisp air away from the busier Mammoth Lake corridors. Reserving a cabin here means staking out your place in an accessible slice of Sierra backcountry, far enough from crowds but close to everything you came for.
