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.

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.

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!

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.

NO lake access.

We stayed in March or 2024. The cabin was nice but the lake was very dry. No way to do any fishing or water related. I just wish they would have told us before the trip that the lake around them was bone dry and not at all what the pictures show. The staff was very friendly and we still had a great time. The tram ride is pretty cool. Rooms are what you would expect for a cabin made to house mountain bikers and off roaders.
