Thunderbird Resort is a family run operation. It is reasonably priced with no frills, but exceptionally clean and quiet. Full kitchen with utensils, but no condiments or coffee. An on-site convenience store, kayak rentals (it is on an inlet of Lake Buchanan). Everything closes down at 4pm however. Signage for entrance road off hwy 2431 could be better.
Though the sheets were clean and the room appeared to be renovated the room had an old, musty smell. My wifeâs asthma flared up within a couple of hours of being in the room. She couldnât stay in the room at all and slept in the car that night. When we decided to leave the next day, one night early (paid in advance for two nights), resort staff would not return any of our money from the second night (we would have been glad to receive 50% back) and told my wife it wasnât possible her asthma flared up because of something related to the room. We stayed somewhere else the next night and she was fine so it was most definitely the room. I wouldnât stay there again.
Wij hadden een uniek oud huis met twee slaapkamers en een keuken met vastwasser. Heel mooi en knus. Er is een mooi zwembad en we werden heel hartelijk ontvangen.
Het zwembad is ook fijn. Van het meer was weinig te zien vanuit het huisje.
Due to storming there was flooding. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and our students. It was so clean and peaceful! We were enjoyed our entire weekend!
The Thundebird Resort was in a very nice area. There were a few things that didnât work well. The refrigerator light didn't work. The television didn't work and Wally (tv viewing service was really bad). The personnel really tried to help but to no avail. And the Thundebird Resort websote should state phone calls cannot be made except for emergencies (911). Perhaps it does and I missed it.
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 didnât do any water activities. When the water level is up in Lake Buchanan, we will be coming back! Definitely recommend staying here!!
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.
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.
