Top Thunderhead Express Hotel Reviews

Ski-In Luxury Log Lodge w/ Hot Tub & Wild Blue Gondola Views

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing. The views are breathtaking. I highly recommend."

Charming Townhouse on Burgess Creek, Sauna, Winter Shuttle

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very nice property. The location in relation to town is good, the location in regards to the ski resort is excellent. Our only difficulty was in checking in. The app said our access codes would be listed when the unit was “clean and ready”. At the 4PM check in time there were no codes. I called and was told they would send the codes. By 4:15 I was forced to call again, on that call I asked verbally for the access code. By 4:25PM after we had gained entrance to the unit I finally received a text message with an access code which was of course pointless by then. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay."

Storm Meadows Spa~Ski In/Ski Out~Great Amenities

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the space and found the rooms very comfortable. The patio has a nice view. We were fascinated by the beautiful tile in the kitchen backdrop. The dishwasher wasn’t working, we would have appreciated knowing that ahead of time. I would highly recommend this condo. The location wasn’t too far from town."

"Clean and cozy condo that was perfect for our group of seven. Beds were comfortable, everything worked well, and there was enough good seating in the living room and dining areas. Would definitely stay here again."

Storm Meadows Townhome 29 | Ski In Ski Out | Pool & Hot Tub | Pet Friendly

"Had a great stay, enjoyed the balconies and the views the most. The condo is dated but well taken care of and the furnishings were good. Was not disappointed with anything other than we wish it were a little more affordable."

Best Location-True Hike In/Out TH w/Slope Views-Heated Pool-HotTub-Gym-W/D in Unit-Fireplace-Updated

10/10 Excellent

"We went up with my brothers for a family event in the mountains this summer. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay in the condo. It was nice hanging out on the balcony and seeing the mountain bikers and hikers. Having 4 bedrooms was nice. We had a great time."

True Hike/Bike In/Out w/Slope Views-Heated Pool-HotTub-Gym-GRILL-W/D in Unit-Decks-Just Remodeled

10/10 Excellent

"Well.... there was supposed to be snow on the ground for our trip but good ol Colorado had different plans for us. Although I cannot attest on the ski in/out part of this place, I can however tell you how amazing this place is. This place is huge. We are a family of five that booked a smaller place and the owners canceled us last minute for no reason. This place was very roomy and would've even been perfect for 2 small families. The basement had 2 big rooms, the main had plenty of room for entertaining (dining room, great kitchen with everything you need and a family room with plenty of seating), and the top floor was unique. It had one bedroom at the top of the floor and then you go up a few more steps for 2 more rooms. Everyone had their own bathroom which was great. The hot tub, pool, pickleball courts, sauna, and workout area is a quick 30 second walk!We will def be staying here again. Perhaps when there's plenty of snow "
