Pokonobe Resort

Knowledgeable staff. What I dig is how these local guys treated us as visitors to this part of California. No attitudes. Willing to share local knowledge about fishing and kayaking. We will be back!

Lou is the greatest what awesome customer service we went to rent kayaks there and had the most amazing time due to Lous friendly efforts! Highly recommended!

Rented a motorboat here for an hour for $ 20. Really good price here in mammoth. You can also rent other things here as well. The staff is really personable and friendly. They showed us how to use the boat and explained all the places we couldn’t go since there is a drought going on here.
The shops here is pretty small, but some cute souvenirs of you want any. They have some snacks too, but if you’re staying out on the lake just go to vons and grab some food.
The lake is so beautiful and peaceful. The surroundings are just amazing, even the drive here is amazing.
Ps: black lab half Great Dane named Oso is so adorable. I’d come back just because he’s a cutie.

Horrible customer service, worst I have seen in all my life. I called in to see how the place works with times and pricing. So the manager told me that when you come in give me your name now I’ll give you guys a group discount because you guys are a very big group I said great. We came in the following day he was working and he said there was never a call that day. I showed him my call history he said I’m sorry that must have not been us or some crap he made up. I said you said yesterday you could give us a nice group rate he said I really did not say anything like that… So I said well what are the rates anyways it’s fine the fact you said it and than you are lying now is okay. So than a cousin comes in and says so what’s the group rate he’s giving us he didn’t know cause he just walked in but he explains it to him. And he said okay whatever. So than our grandpa walks in and says ok what’s the so special rate you guys were talking about last night than the guy says I’m sorry guys but I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. I said why? He said well you guys are making up these things. And this is not good for us. I said okay and then our special Ed cousin was in there looking at the candy the whole time it’s obvious he’s special Ed he says can I buy this candy? He pulls out his $ 10 and the manager says no I cannot sell this to you. And than he starts to cry and walk out and than we overheard him saying this idiot trying to buy candy from us.
I will never return here again. I hope you all save yourselves the drive and effort to go to this horrible customer service employee run joint.
I WILL NOT RETURN. –5 STARS.

Rented a motorboat for $ 20/​hr to cruise around Lake Mary. Friendly staff, great location, well-​stocked store. Will be back!

We camp nearby every year and the staff at Pokonobe is second to none. They are VERY helpful with regards to the latest fishing reports and tips. Clean boat rentals at a reasonable price. Lou and everyone else that works there are always smiling and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are having a great time. Cant wait to go back

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here at Lake Mary and it was absolutely beautiful. Loved all the rustic touches. The deck overlooking the lake was a wonderful place for guests to mingle and talk and the inside lodge was cozy and perfect for our small party. Our guests loved it. Marci and Chuck & the Wilderness Catering crew cooked up an amazing meal of freshly grilled salmon and tri-​tip for all our guests. I cannot say enough good things about Marci. She is absolutely lovely. After my first conversation with her on the phone I felt like I had known her for years. She really went out of her way to make our dinner really special and was open to customizing anything we wanted: food, decorations, flowers, picking up alcohol, etc. I doubt we would have gotten that if we had chosen somewhere else. We were also lucky to have the supermoon that night which made the evening even more perfect. Such a hidden gem.

there are many places to rent a boat in mammoth, BUT… this place gets a Unilocal all through the efforts of Lou. he is personable and accommodating unlike most other rental places in the area. for this reason… we come back. It just goes to show ya how 1 person can make the difference.

This little store and marina on Lake Mary has a gorgeous location, and it is the nearest place to buy essentials if you are staying at Lake Mary Campground next door. The stock seemed to be very low, though, with few items spread out over lots of empty shelf space. Sure, if you are just looking for a bag of ice or a bottle of propane, you’ll be fine, but anything more than that, and there isn’t much to choose from. Also, the parking lot is very rough, so be careful if pulling in here with a low-​clearance vehicle.
