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.

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.
