Our one night stay in this atrocious establishment left us well over $1,000 poorer. Never have I…read morespent so much to stay in a barley heated room, broken showerhead, cracks in the walls, broken appliances, and dirt everywhere. Now we were under the false impression that we would be able to enjoy these luxurious accommidations for the bargain price of $85 dollars for the night. Unbeknownst to us, this price must have changed sometime over the eavening as the friendly staff then helped themselves to all the cash they could find in our room. When confronting the staff (directly after they had a child "cleaning our room" (and wallets)), we were then told that one of us staying in the room must have robbed ourselves. I understand how people can unknowingly rob themselves from time to time, but seeing as we were in the middle of a huge cross country trip and the money was to be spend on that, I found it hard to believe. We were "dared' to contact the police and told, "nothing will be done, what can they do, it was cash" If you find yourself moving through this area, I highly reccomend just scooching over to the next town to find a place to sleep.

One of our best family vacations so far! (Last week of July) The resort is beautiful with a small…read moretown feel. We booked our vacation in March and was looking forward to being on the lake once the dreaded Arizona summer hit. We booked cabin #3 which had two bedrooms and one bath with a wonderful view of the lake, a nice sized deck, and a fire pit. All the kitchen appliances were available including a dishwasher! The basic cookware and dishes were also included. It was the perfect size for our family of five. It was so clean and tidy upon check in and it even smelled nice and not musty (been to other cabins that had this problem). We unpacked our things and had enough space for everything, groceries included. The amenities on the lake were so fantastic! The kids enjoyed the playground which included swings, seesaw, slides, and a sandbox. They even had swings right on the sand so you could jump off into the water. We also took advantage of the peddle boats, canoe, paddle boards, and key log. They were all included with our reservations and didn't have to pay extra. But be sure to bring quarters for the arcade room. You're gonna need it! Oh and if you plan on doing laundry they do have washers and dryers that take quarters. My babies (ages 9, 6, & 2) participated in the kids fishing contest and they were so thrilled. Although I think they loved playing with the worms more than the fish. On Wednesday they held a ceremony and they each received an award for their catch of the day with my little one getting the "smallest fish caught" award which he held up proudly. There are also towns close by to grab a bite to eat which we did twice during the week. My hubby even got to play golf since there was a course nearby. The owners were wonderful and very down to earth. They greeted us at check in and made us feel welcomed. I would always see them chatting up with other visitors as if they were life long friends. Many of the visitors are return customers and make yearly trips to the lake. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and created cherished family memories. We absolutely loved our stay here at Thunder Lake Lodge! We will be back! Thank you Craig & Jaime!

The water slide and pool area where great for the kids and mom and dad to have fun. The breakfast in the morning was amazing!! The staff was super friendly and did everything possible to make our stay great. We had dinner at the restaurant attached to the hotel and couldn't have been more happy. The prime rib was perfect, the Salmon was cooked perfectly. Even the kids mac n cheese was done well and not Kraft out of the box and the pizza was nice and crispy.

Breakfasts were good and the place was really quiet at night. It also has a really nice, good-sized indoor pool. It's located just on the outskirts of the town so there's plenty of shopping and lake access in a very short walking/driving distance. Best of all, loons in the lake! Cons: The rooms, or at least the one we had, are a bit dated. Everything certainly looked clean, but definitely a bit worn down. One special note, for those getting the 'economy' room (307?); the bathroom needs some rework. The shower could fit 4 people easily, but the toilet is unbelievably low and is jammed into a corner, making the 'sit down' experience a bit of an adventure. I'm 5' 8" and 225 lbs., and it was definitely an 'issue.' If you're bigger than me, avoid this room until they redo the bathroom. Definitely not enough to take a star off, but something you and they should be aware of.
