Built in 1924 as a rustic fishing retreat for vaudeville star Eddie Foy and his family, Tamarack is the oldest continuously operated lodge in Mammoth Lakes and an excellent setting-off point, in all seasons, for the world-class wonderland that is the Lakes Basin. Set on the shores of Twin Lakes, the lodge features a rustic lounge and fireplace open to the public, a small restaurant, basic lodge accommodations and updated cabins; visit the Local Recreation Resources page for more information.
