Renting a condo from an owner 
When renting a condo from a home owner there are a few things you should keep in mind.

First: Paying for your reservation
We recommend you pay be credit card. Paying by check can be tricky for homeowner and guest when it comes to disputing charges and reservations. Credit cards, we feel are safer for both parties. Charges can be disputed, reservations can be confirmed and so on.

Second: Check-in Instructions
After you have paid for your reservation make sure to get check-in and check-out instructions from the owner. Be sure to read them and know when to check-in and check-out. I suggest you take these with you when you go on your trip. I know it sounds silly but you would not believe how many people have called while on the road,asking for directions, address and check-in times for the condo they reserved.

Third: Emergency info.
Make sure the owner provides you with emergency contact information (phone number 24/7)in the event there is a problem at your condo. Remember this is a house and things can break.

Fourth: Home sweet home
Unlike a hotel the condo you have rented is someones home. Please respect it as your own home.

Fifth: Damages or breakage
If you break something or you notice something is broken or missing notify the homeowner immediately. Our vacation homeowners take pride in their rentals. Since most owners do not live in the immediate vicinity they rely on cleaning crews and guests to notify them of broken or damaged items. In order to keep the home looking nice and functioning optimally please notify the homeowner immediately when you notice any damage. If you have damaged something the rental insurance will cover the repair. So please report.

Sixth: Enjoy your spacious and comfortable home away from home.

Executive Chef comes to you for dinner 
Daniel Molnar graduated Culinary Institute of America in 1993. He has worked for prestigious chefs such as Wolfgang Puck and Neil Fraiser in Los Angeles and George McGahffey in Aspen. Daniel recently left the Westin Monache hotel in Mammoth Lakes Ca. where he served as Executive chef for two years.
It is Daniels extensive travels throughout Europe, South East Asia, South and Central America that really define his cuisine. His appetizers tend to reflect ethnic street food while his entrees lean toward classic Western fare.
A typical menu might start with chicken mole tacos, ahi tuna in cucumber cups or beef satay with peanut sauce. Items reminiscent of Daniel’s travels abroad.
A simple salad with honey mustard vinaigrette and candied walnuts or a cauliflower puree with smoked almond soup might follow.
Entrees such as roast strip loin with chimi churi sauce, pan seared wild Salmon with dill cream or roast leg of lamb might be accompanied by a root vegetable gratin, caramelized Brussels sprouts, sautéed broccoli rabe or roast garlic whipped potatoes.
Deserts are a simple affair. Flourless chocolate cake with espresso cream or maybe a home made apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
Daniel is happy to prepare kids food. For a less formal evening, Daniel will be happy to drop off a completely prepared meal. The choice is yours.

It's snowing!! 
When families come to Mammoth in the winter particularly, their concerned about costs. It's not just the cost of the rental, it's the clothing for the kids, the activities, food, transportation and so much more.

Renting a condo helps with the expenses becuase you can prepare your own meals and save money. We love to go snow shoeing and take our boogie boards and go sledding where no one has gone. My husband packs water, fresh bread, cheese, fruit and home made cookies and we all headout.

There are some awsome places to go sledding with young kids as well as teenagers. If you don't have snow shoes you can rent them for a few bucks for 1/2 day. It's as easy as walking. Pop on the snow shoes and walk out into the virgin snow. Sparkling and beckoning for you to leave your mark. You don't have to go far before you see a hill that no one has slid down. How can you resist? At least we can't, we all jump on our boggie boards (lying down on our stomachs and feet up in the air) off we go. Untouched snow. What a ride!!!!!! At the bottom it's easy since we have our snow shoes on we just walk up the hill and go again and again and again. Talk about bang for your buck. At the end of the day we are all tired with big grins on our faces. Come back to the condo and collapse, splurge and order dinner in, Pizza :)

Hotels vs Rent by Owner Condos 
When our family would take vacations in the past we would stay in hotels. We never had enough room, we always had to eat out and it got very expensive.

This motivated us to buy a vacation condo in Mammoth.
It's been great. We have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a full kitchen, wonderful ambience and we are saving money.To offset the costs of a vacation rental we rent it to guests who also get to enjoy the spacious condo, prepare meals and enjoy a wonderful atmosphere for a lot less money then a hotel room. A win-win for all. Makes me think why we didn't do this a long time ago. The extra bonus is that many of our guests are returning and we have developed a relationship with some wonderful people.

Our vacation rental has become more than a rental its a place that we and our guests enjoy and return time after time and create memories and wonderful experiences because it is personal and our home.
