History

Established in 1937.

This location has a long and convoluted history. I bought this place in November of 2014, and I’m spending lots of time to upgrade and repair each cabin. I have 4 totally renovated cabins and several more that are in great shape. I am adding key comfort items like lots of extra hooks and drying racks especially for winter use, towel racks and shelves in bathrooms, new bedding, mattresses, and pillows, new appliances including stoves for cooking your own food, new high performance snowmobiles for rent, new inflatable kayaks and stand up paddle boards for rent, and exploring Back Country Skiing and Snowboarding Options. Cabins are at 10,000ft and average 420 inches of powder, more than Vail Colorado.

Business Owner

I was born in 1977 in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I loved finding ways to enjoy the outdoors and became competitive in many sports. Upon moving to Vail Colorado in 1998 I became a Professional Guide, mostly for Whitewater Rafting and Snowmobiling. I have spent the last 16 years of my life traveling the world engaging in all of the sports I love: Rafting, Kayaking, Mountaineering, Mountain Biking, Dirt Bike Riding, and Snowmobiling. I am now ready to share my experience and expertise with my guests. I have found a piece of the Wild West on The Grand Mesa of Colorado.

Yes, it is rustic and close to everything on the Mesa. But, it is need of some help, especially for $ 140 per night.
It was advertised as a sleep four. There was a futon couch in the main room, that really would not hold two adults. It was one of those situations where it is more comfortable to drag the mattress onto the floor, rather than sleep on it in its frame. There were two windows that did not have curtains or blinds, the overhead lights were industrial fluorescent fixtures, which flickered all the time because the ballast needed to be replaced. There was no soap or shampoo, or towels for the galley kitchen.
The clincher, though, was their trash system. They have a sealed u-​haul type trailer in their parking lot. This trash receptacle bakes in the sun all day long. They require their guests to open a door by releasing the clamps, then to throw their garbage into the pile of garbage already in the trailer. The stench was unbelievable, and gagging. The flies were all over the trailer.
I hear that some of their cabins have been updated, so if that is the case, be sure to get one of those.
When I checked out and notified the staff of these items, their response was a ho-​hum «sorry.» No acknowledgement of the problem, or an expression of regret, and certainly no offer to make it right, to offer a discount, or to even offer to pass it along to the owner. I was very disappointed, and I left thinking «why did I even bother to tell them.» There are two places to stay on the Mesa, (Alexander Lake Lodge being the other one). I guess Thunder Mountain has a near-​monopoly, so they figure there is no need to go the extra mile.

We had an amazing experience at Thunder Mountain Lodge! We emailed on our way to Denver and we were unable to get there until around 11 pm, they were extremely helpful and left the cabin open for us and we finished our check-​in the next morning. We spent two nights in our cabin with our three dogs and explored the trails in the area. The views are beautiful and the staff was very helpful. The cabin was very nice and comfortable, they have a full kitchen and grills outside. We are planning on returning soon! Our stay was during the summer so we are curious to see how it is in winter. Overall, beautiful place and very satisfactory experience. Highly recommended!
