Perfect for ski weekend!

"We stayed at Thunderhead Lodge this weekend. This unit is definitely dated, but the location and price are right! Small kitchen, but it had everything we needed for a dinner in. Went to the brewery down the street for an easy dinner the other night. It was nice to soak in the heated pool after skiing! ..."…"

Love Government Camp! It was our first time there & we are both Oregon natives! We plan on taking our kids up to Ski Bowl next. Did not get to do a sleigh ride but that is on the list too! Great little town!

3/5 - Okay

Beautiful place and would have liked to have had different food options. Windows need covering to keep out the snow. Extra firewood should be delivered without request if the heat is out.
