Top Thunderhead Express Hotel Reviews

Gravity Haus Steamboat

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

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."

Powder Day Hideaway | Fireplace & 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."

Slopeside Ski Getaway | Fireplace & Hot Tub

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."

True Hike In/Out TH w/Scenic Slope Views-Heated Pool-Hot Tub-Gym-W/D-Covered Parking-Just Remodeled

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Amazing Location on Mountain! 100 yds to Trails-Heated Pool-Hot Tub-W/D in Unit-Grill

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location, wonderful property we loved it"

Hike In/Out TH with Slope Views-Heated Pool-Hot Tub-Gym-W/D in Unit-Office-Decks

10/10 Excellent

"It was priced a little high for a during the week stay, compared to other properties but it did not disappoint."

SKI to Lift/Walk-in 7 BEDROOMS & 10 BATHS, Hot Tub, Theater, Gym

10/10 Excellent

"This REALLY big house was especially nice for our large family. We have 5 children and four of them are married (and 4 grandchildren). Having their own rooms and bathrooms was so nice. Also, we didn't eat out much and made our own meals so having a large kitchen with three sinks and 2 dishwashers was amazing! There were some struggles with Wi-Fi but those got sorted out (thanks for taking care of that). Also, I wish the entire house was air conditioned, but it is not. There were parts of the house that had AC so there was some relief in parts of the house during the hot afternoons. One thing I would recommend, is checking all the windows and the openers on the windows. It looks like over the years some of these have been broken. Overall, our stay was FANTASTIC AND SO FUN and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks for taking such good care of us. To all future vacationers, take the "active bear" warnings seriously!! DO NOT leave food outside or food in your cars and lock your doors. We saw bears almost every day and one even sat on our patio while our daughter in law was making homemade Runza's (a Nebraska thing). :) It was sniffing around and drooling - don't worry, we didn't give it one. :) Thanks again for everything!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"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."
