About this property

Refined Rustic Retreat | Walk to Canyon Lodge, Hot Tub, Sauna & Garage

Refined Rustic Retreat at Sonenalp is a thoughtfully designed, single-level mountain home offering space, comfort, and calm just steps from Canyon Lodge. Guests consistently describe it as “ideal,” “superb,” and “even nicer than the pictures”—a place that feels like a true home base rather than a typical ski condo.

At nearly 2,000 square feet, this residence is designed for families and groups who want to be close to the mountain without sacrificing privacy or breathing room. The open floor plan centers around a welcoming living area with a gas fireplace, plush seating, and room to gather after a day outside. A well-appointed gourmet kitchen anchors the space, with granite countertops, generous prep areas, a dining table for eight, breakfast bar seating for four, and a dedicated nook that works well for planning, puzzles, or remote work.

Two private primary bedrooms provide comfort and separation for adult guests. The main primary features a California king bed, daybed, fireplace, and en-suite bath with dual sinks and a tub/shower combination. The second primary includes a king bed, TV, and is adjacent to a bathroom with dual sinks and a separate toilet/shower room. The third bedroom is a bunkroom designed with fun in mind, offering two sets of bunks (sleeping up to six), a TV, and mini-foosball—perfect for kids or teens while adults relax nearby.

One of the home’s most appreciated features is its connection to the outdoors. A south-facing balcony offers access to a shared hot tub and sauna (shared with just one neighboring unit), overlooking a quiet back garden that doubles as a sledding hill in winter. A second, north-facing balcony provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening downtime. Two Weber grills are available seasonally and shared among the building’s four residences.

The location is what truly sets Refined Rustic Retreat apart. Canyon Lodge lifts and gondola are an easy walk away, and two year-round shuttle stops are located just outside the building. Guests can head uphill to the slopes or take a gentle downhill stroll toward town and the Village. With garage parking for two vehicles, ski and gear storage, and a Canyon Lodge locker included, logistics are refreshingly simple.

Refined Rustic Retreat is privately owned and professionally managed by Adventure Refined. Guests enjoy keyless entry, a detailed online Guest Guide, and responsive local support before and throughout their stay—no front desk visits, no key exchanges, just a smooth arrival and attentive care.

Exceptional service - we’ve been back many times, we love the location but more importantly the team that is available to you during your stay and the quality coziness of the amenities - fireplace sauna spa! And the view from the bedroom window of the sun rising on the mountains. Can’t say enough!

Nice location and garage parking!

I give this place 4 stars. The way they handled other issues while staying at the property took them from a 3 to a 4. Would have been 5 stars if the quality of the beds were better in all rooms.

Another perfect stay

Have stayed here with my family several times and it really is the best. Can't beat the location, hot tub, sauna and the house itself. Best of all in a week with 3 feet of snow is the enormous garage with plenty of room for our oversized beast of a truck. Host was accessible and incredibly helpful. Great to stay with someone who cares so much about their home.

Perfect Dog-Friendly Family Escape

This property is cozy, clean, and has everything you need for a perfect Mammoth visit! The location is central to everything and we loved being so close to the main Mammoth bike/walking path. The beautiful kitchen is perfect for cooking and the open concept is awesome for groups to gather together. The layout of the home makes it work for both small and large groups with plenty of beds and bathrooms. We are grateful that such a beautiful place is dog friendly and we would definitely stay here again!

Convenient location & nice place

We enjoyed our stay! Location is very close to the canyon lodge, the condo also has 2 car garage parking, which is very helpful during the snowing days. The kitchen is fairly large with a sizable island, fully stocked. I especially like the gourmet coffee! And the steam room & jacuzzi is definitely a plus!! The manager is very responsive. Will definitely come back again

Great location!

Mary Beth's place was wonderful! Well stocked and perfectly located. We parked the cars in the garage and took the convenient shuttle buses everywhere. Mary Beth was easy to reach and extremely accommodating. When the oven didn't work the first night there, she had it replaced the very next morning. I highly recommend it as the perfect place to stay and ski in Mammoth!

Great clean condo, perfect location.

We were 2 families at the condo. When we arrived we were very impressed since the listing was very accurate. The property was well maintained. The two master bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. The room with the bunk bed and Xbox perfect for our kids. The best part Mary Beth, the owner, very easy to get hold of and responsive and super nice. Perfect location and comfortable condo. Will definitely go back and recommend to all my friends.

Loved this condo

My family enjoyed a great ski week in Mammoth at this clean, spacious condo. This is the first place I’ve rented with easy direct access underground parking. We didn’t have to worry about being snowed in during our spring trip, but the parking it’s definitely a huge plus for anyone going when it’s snowing. Very walkable to Canyon Lodge with its own owners locker to store your gear. Communication with the owner/management was excellent, check-in was easy, comfortable bedrooms and nice bathrooms, couldn’t ask for more. We can’t wait to come back!

I wish we stayed longer

Our family is a frequent traveler to Mammoth. It's become quite a tradition! We have two three-year-old toddlers, so finding a family friendly, yet luxious stay is a MUST! This quaint getaway was the SPOT! We will no longer need to Google a place to stay. Mary-Beth and her team were professional, courteous and helpful. Look for us to book again! This place is great for families with little ones because it comes with all the amenities. And yet, older couples will enjoy the quiet surroundings and hot tob. Honestly, this place is amazing.

Strouse Family

There was not one thing to complain about when staying at this beautiful cabin. The whole family including our dog felt the cozy vibe this cabin provided. We loved the connivence of being walking distance to Canyon Lodge and utilizing the locker accomadtion provided. Mary Beth the owner was prompt with any questions we had during our stay. Having a large dog kennel, pack and play, and high chair already at the cabin was ideal. The kids room was also a great addition to occupy the kids with video games and a foos ball table. We will definitely be back!

Very nice experience

This very lovely 3 bedroom condo made us feel at home right away. It was very roomy and felt more like a house that a condo. It is beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed. The large kitchen opens to the living room which made it very nice for cooking and hanging out together. The unit is very private and we really liked the secure parking garage. The owners went out of their way to make sure that everything went smoothly. The condo is in a great location, nestled in the trees, and just steps from Canyon Lodge.

Great time!

We loved this property and would definitely stay again or recommend to others. We had 7 adults, 2 kiddos, and one dog in our party and this condo housed all of us nicely. The condo is very spacious, clean, and ideally located. The pictures are a very good likeness of what the condo looks like in person. I liked the fact that Mary Beth was so responsive and easy to reach; it really felt like she wanted us to have the best possible experience in her rental. There are stairs to climb from the garage to the second floor but it wasn't an issue for us. We didn't find a garage clicker to use but again, not a big deal for us. This condo worked out great for our visit. I think you'll be happy with your choice if you stay here!
