The cabin was so clean and had everything we needed! It was quiet at night and we all slept like a baby! We went hiking around the lakes in the area but didn’t do any water activities. When the water level is up in Lake Buchanan, we will be coming back! Definitely recommend staying here!!

Our cabin at the Thunderbird Lodge was perfect for our short vacation at Spider Mountain. Easy to check in after hours, spacious accommodations, beautiful property, and a short bike ride to the lift and walk to hiking. Front office was super friendly. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Great location, comfortable bed!

The location of the Thunderbird Cabin was perfect for my plans that involved a night time trail run at Spider Mountain. Couldnt be a better location. I was SO GLAD for the very clean, comfortable, and cute enough accommodations. The staff I worked with to make reservations, find my way and to problem solve were super helpful and very friendly.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fun place - low to the ground amenities, reminded me of a KOA park. Awesome access to their cool mountain bike trails and fishing (weird combo). The staff is super sweet and took great care of me. Going back next year!
Timothy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I attended an event close by and Thunderbird was great. Easy communication with the property when I had a late arrival. It’s quiet and simple with a complete kitchen and plenty of space. Very happy with my decision to stay there.
Jolie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome rural spot. Dirt bike park. Lots of trails and good little hiking potential. Near the river. Drought when we stayed but imagine it’s extra gorgeous when the rivers full. Staff is great! Thank you!
Casey, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Cabin was cute and clean, with comfortable beds and a full kitchen. The basketball "court" needed repair, pool was a weird green, never found the volleyball court... property could have used some attention overall. Front desk lady was pleasant and checked us in quickly.
Krista, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While the weather was so very hot the cabin was nice and with two bedrooms and two baths it was comfortable and spacious. The pool was nice but at 5:00 at nite it was warm and not refreshing since it was 105 degrees. I have been here over the years about 25 times and love this place.

Star Gazing

I stayed at the lodge primarily for the dark skies and was not disappointed....the stars popped by 9pm and were beautiful. The main draws for the lodge are the mt bike lift and trails down the mountain and boat launching. Unfortunately the lake is too low there for any boating. The location is very peaceful so I enjoyed just sitting out and watching nature during the day and some hiking. The room was motel like and was spotless. Full kitchen. Checking in/out was easy and staff were very personable. Other than the biking there is not much else to do there but it makes a great get away otherwise. There is Long Horn Cavern and Inks Lake state park with great hiking trails about a 20 minute drive. This is not a luxury resort but for the price and quality of the accommodations it was really a nice stay.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Tough weekend

Rather frustrating stay. Apparently an issue with WiFi made it inaccessible for our room and cell signal out there objectively horrible. Hard to keep walking up to office just to text family and friends. Toilet not seated well and rocked vigorously when seated. Shower head splayed like your thumb on a garden hose, only <6ft up, and had to go full heat to get a tepid shower. Staff were lovely however.
