A Heartbreaking Experience at a Beloved Family Location

Our family has cherished this beautiful location for generations, creating countless memories during birthdays, engagements, reunions, physical healing, and the arrival of new babies. Sadly, the current ownership shows no compassion for their customers and disregards the loyalty of those who have invested years of time, thousands of dollars, and deep emotional ties to this place.

A recent incident in the gift shop left us devastated. While browsing, our young children—like all curious kids—were touching items. We purchased what they handled, yet the woman running the store snapped at them and then turned her frustration on the adults. Naturally, we stood up for our children and asked that they be treated with respect.

Rather than accepting feedback with grace, ownership responded by banning our family from returning. The result? A cherished tradition shattered, and a place once filled with joy now tainted by cold-hearted decisions.

In today’s world, time and money are precious and hard-earned. Spend both wisely. Don’t give these tyrants—who hold such a beautiful piece of land hostage—another cent. There are better places, run by people who value community, kindness, and respect.

Called to book a cabin and got anxiety from the rude lady on the phone. She is the middle of the most beautiful piece of land that there is in CA and to be that stressed, mean, and rude she must have a rough life. We rented down at Virginia creek. Why give your money to
Someone that couldn’t care less about the people whose $ supports their land. There are other happier people to rent from such as the family at the first lake. They homeschool their kids and are and have always been nice and responsible to deal with. Their store is stocked, they have a great bar, bait tackle, laundry, FREE WIFI and a smile. Spend your money wisely. You vote with your dollars.

Beds and pillows were a little rough. The staff treated our group great. The food at the cafe was excellent. We are already planning coming up next year.

I've been going to Annette Mono Village for the last 4 years, I enjoy the quality and quiet time. The people there are very friendly, including the bears 🐻!

First time staying at this place (9/30-10/5/24). I was on this trip with 4 other friends and we booked 2 seperate cabins. The one my friend and I stayed in was Cabin#2. It sleeps up to 3 people. It has the basic necessities minus the microwave. There is a microwave in the nearby store. A heads up, always check the hours of the store because it varies throughout the seasons. I do recommend not bringing much stuff because they have almost everything you need at the store. The area I stayed at is not dog friendly unless you're staying at the camp site. They do have a shop and a restaurant for food and drinks. You can always bring your own to save money. For outdoor activities, there's fishing, hiking, camping, etc. I suggest following the recommended rules/guidelines because for those not experienced it does help. The staff here is very friendly and helpful in case there is anything you need. Beautiful scenery and memorable experience. If this is your first time doing this type of thing I do recommend this place.

Wow! Lots of bad reviews! I have one also. We've been going to Mono Village off and on for several years. We found this cabin on the lake that belongs to Mono and can be rented. With tax $300 a day. When I booked it and had questions the lady on the phone was rude. Nothing new. No changes there. So when we arrived late the key was in the door. We were suppose to check in the next day at the office by 10:00, I forgot. Patricia? (I was told that was her name) sent a guy down twice. The second guy told us NOW to check in. We arrived at 11:00, one hour late to this rude, plain nasty lady. We continued to be kind, paid and left. My husband could not even stay in the same room with her. I believe in being kind and smile at everyone, The cabin is run down, dirty windows and screens, there are exactly 4 of everything - knives, forks, cups, etc. I knew that so I brought extras. There are signs on the perimeter stating private property, registered guests only, all other cars will be towed, no pets or you'll be prosecuted, 4 people max which includes babies. They even drive by the property checking us out daily. The 4 of us are in our 70s. Really? We will no longer be going there. Too many other places to go with nice workers. PS: the guy at the grocer check out is very nice.

Tent camped and kayaked here for 4 days. The lake is amazing! I usually "boondock" on forest land or find much less busy campgrounds, but family was staying in a cabin here, and I wanted to be near them. If you're looking for a place with EVERYTHING (showers, laundry, restaurant, general store / gift shop, marina, etc), this is it. Just know that it comes with crowds of people and lots of rules, too. Prices for firewood, ice, goods in the store, and facilities were reasonable considering the remote location. Despite the high density of campers (RVs + tents), camp was surprisingly quiet at night / early morning. Decent facilities that were usually clean and operating well, issues were quickly addressed. Staff were all friendly. Camp sites were typical for heavy use - small litter scattered around the site and neighboring tents just 15 feet away. Not a deterrent, but know there are active bears here, be proactive with wildlife safety / food storage, and bring an air horn. They could use more bear boxes as it was impossible to store all coolers & food for 4 campsites in 1 bear box; used car for food storage, which is not preferred. Overall, it was a nice time with family.

This is one of the most out of the way RV locations I have been to so far. The nice thing is it was worth the long drive. A lake, boat rentals, restaurant, store and much more. First come first to get a spot, no reservations and dry camping. Nice part is $30.00 per night. I will be returning.
