Mountain Thunder Lodge

This week, the resort has been anything but family friendly. I researched for months to find the best resort for my husband’s 50th birthday for our family of four. I chose this one due to the high ratings. When we arrived, the halls smelled of pot and there were college students everywhere. Apparently, 1000 Mizzou students were here on winter break. Hot tubs were filled and parties went on late into the night. To top it off, the room next door started having very loud, very active “relations” starting at 10 pm every night. The front desk’s solution was ear plugs, which wouldn’t work as the sound traveled through thin walls and brass headboards like a pipe. Wish I would’ve known about all the college kids. Would’ve chose another resort. On top of it, getting charged a $40/night resort fee for no sleep. Read less

Our family stayed here over the Christmas holiday. Absolutely perfect location. Easy walk to Gondola that takes you to the slopes, and ski back home (truly could ski up to our door!). Easy walk to adorable downtown Breckenridge. Easy walk or drive to the City Market. So convenient. Townhouse was roomy, cozy, clean, with vaulted ceilings. We went through River Ridge Rentals to rent, and it went very smoothly. Great value for the price. Read less

We rented a two-bedroom townhouse for the Christmas holidays and couldn't be happier. The location is perfect! 5 minute walk to the gondola, and ski back to your front door. In the evening it's less than a 5-minute walk to downtown and all the wonderful restaurants Breckenridge has to offer. The townhouse itself has soaring ceilings, two big bedrooms, each with their own bath, lovely winter wonderland views, and a pool and hot tub right out the back door. Wow! Read less

We stayed in a 1 bed condo. It had a large bedroom, large bathroom with bath/shower and seperate shower plus a double wash basin. Kitchen with everything you need, large oven, microwave, dishwasher and all cooking and dining utensils. breakfast bar and sitting area with large gas fire. Bedroom and lounge had tvs. lounge also had dvd player. The condo was fantastic. we could live there, it was so spacious and homely. For me the highlight was the balcony. it wrapped around the corner giving both mountain and town views and i could have spent hours just sitting there looking at the spectacular views. There is both heated hot tubs and outdoor pool that we enjoyed many times .even with the temperatures around 0 degrees they were very nice and the areas were kept spotless. the lodge situation is perfect. Just 5 minutes walk to the town. across the road from the gondola and main stop for the free shuttle buses that will take you virtually anywhere in the area. The staff in the hotel are so nice and helpfull. If you want help they cant do enough. If you just walk through you always get a 'good morning, enjoy your day' etc. We walked around most areas in the town and rode the gondola to the hotels on the mountain and can honestly say we never said 'maybe next time we'll try there'. In fact we commented many times on how lucky we were to be staying here. we've been fortunate enough to stay in some very nice hotels around the world but this rates top for us. in summary. we had a fantastic condo in an beautiful lodge, in a perfect situation for the most stunning town and surrounding areas. As the title says excellent rating doesnt do it justice. We've been left with the most magical memories and Mountain Thunder Lodge certainly contributed to that. We will definately return to Breckenridge and this is the only place we'll stay. Read less
