Mountain Thunder Lodge

We stayed one night at this lodge while visiting Breckenridge. Location-wise, it is okay, just 5-6 mins walking to downtown Main Street, there is also tunnel across the north park avenue, but not easy to find, please ask hotel staff for direction. The cons: As to the maintence of the room, it has a few to improve, the bathroom toliet can be very noise and even stoped working, which we had to call for service. The clock alarm suddenly went off in the middle of night, we had to unplug. The carpet is too dirty with stains here and there. The pros: the room we stayed has Murphy bed, when lifted, allows more space in the room. And the sofa can be extended to a queen size bed, it can accommodate more guests in the room. And the kitchen is very useful with cooking utensil set, very convenient. Read less

We found pros and cons with Mountain Thunder Lodge 3 bedroom townhouse. Pros: 1. Great location for walking to free gondola or downtown Breckinridge. 2. Easy check in and out. 3. Our townhouse was located to the back of the property so it was quiet. 4. The main building is a pick up and drop off site for the Adventure Co. White Water Rafting shuttle. 5. Pleasant and helpful staff. 6. 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom townhouse was nice size for family of 6. Third bedroom had 2 twin beds, which we requested. 7. Great shampoo, conditioner, & body wash provided in each bathroom. Fans, hair dryers, washer & dryer as well as kitchen with refrigerator with filtered drinking water and ice maker were great to have. Cons: 1. Our townhouse was not very clean. Stained carpets, we found a bandaid and hair in one of the showers, the dishwasher was full when we arrived, there was also a towel hanging on the back of one of the bathroom doors which appeared to be used. We only used the folded towels. 2. Our safe did not work but Wally fixed it and gave us a bottle of wine and chocolate for the inconvenience. 3. The hot tub outside our townhouse was shut down 2 out of our 5 day stay. The next closest hot tub had lights burned out so not convenient when using after dark. 4. No grill at our townhouse but there was one by the pool. 5. The cleaning service was random. No service the first day. The following days only certain rooms were touched and not all garbage was emptied, even if full. 6. Although we had a two stall garage, the garage doors were not big enough for our full size SUV to get through. 7. Since no ac, we slept with windows open. One of the upstairs bedrooms was quite hot. We put a fan in the window each night to cool it down. So between sleeping with open windows and the thin window coverings, we were awake at sunrise each morning. So don’t plan on sleeping in. Not sure if we would stay at this property if we return to Breckenridge. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the townhouse, but I expected a cleaner place. Read less

Pros: The location was great! Short walk to Main St with all the shops and restaurants. A car isn't really needed for that. Close walk to the Breck Connect goldola to get to the mountain activities instead of the free shuttle van, if you prefer. The condo was super clean, well appointed and organized. Even the garage was clean! It has nice decorations and lots of space. Great master bath room. The soaps/creams they stock are wonderful organic products. Sheets and towels were good quality and sparkling clean. Our unit had a gas fireplace, ceiling fans, lots of natural light, big kitchen, clean couches and rugs. There were books, games, puzzles, a tv, good wifi, a dvd player and 6 bottles of 'welcome' wine to select from upon your arrival. Just really nice! The front desk staff was young, but friendly and able to answer any questions I had quickly and thoroughly. The development is easy to find when entering Breckenridge and surrounded by lots of trees. Cons: The only reason I didn't give this unit an 'excellent' rating was the road noise from a busy rd just about 100 yds from the back windows/porch. We couldn't leave the windows in the bedrooms open at night otherwise it was hard to sleep. There are other units in the development that would not be so close to the road and it would be fine. By the 3rd night, we slept just fine. The beds were too squishy for the adults, but our 20-yr olds loved them. (Personal preference here- nothing wrong with them). Lastly, the dryer wouldn't dry our clothes. I'll let the owners know and it'll get fixed, then it won't be a problem! I would definitely rent from this property again- just a different unit away from the road noise. Read less
