Mammoth Lakes is one of the top local summer mountain getaways for people living in Southern California, so it's no surprise that every type of accommodation imaginable is offered during the summer months, from rustic, half-century-old cabins set by a lake shore in the woods, to glitzy suites in four-star resort/hotels surrounded by golf courses.

Central Reservations of Mammoth is a convenient online booking service that can make the choice a whole lot easier, and this summer, it's a good place to find super deals. The company specializes in furnished condominium units at several properties around the Mammoth Lakes area, all of which have kitchens, fireplaces or wood stoves, phone, cable TV, and VCR, and often include views, game rooms, and centrally located outdoor pools, Jacuzzis, and laundry facilities.

Its Spring Special offers savings of 50-60 percent off, with condo rates as low as $22 per person, per night, based on six people staying in a two-plus-loft condo and a minimum two-night stay. Pay for five nights and your sixth and seventh nights are free. The Special is available through June 14.
