Mountain Thunder Lodge is one of the most luxurious condos in Breckenridge and at the great location. Nestled in pines only 1 ½ blocks from Main Street (known for its restaurants, shopping and night life), the lodge is SKI-IN and SKI-OUT (Gondola-OUT). The Gondola Ski Back trail is just out the back door and the BreckConnect Gondola is only 200 yards away via the Gondola Ski Back trail. The gondola provides fast and easy access from the condo to the heart of the ski area at the bases of Peak 7 and Peak 8 where you will find on-mountain dining, ski schools, rentals, etc, and several other lifts including the Independence SuperChair, the Rocky Mountain SuperChair and the Colorado Superchair.
Stepping into this impeccable mountain lodge you will be welcomed by a grand entry of slate and log. Just beyond the front desk a large gathering area tempts you to relax by a massive rock fireplace with several inviting overstuffed sofas and chairs. Your private equipment (ski) locker is just around the corner and a hottub, overlooking the Gondola Ski Back, is just out the back door.
Your suite is only a few steps away by elevator and opens into your lodge-like living area with a balcony to enjoy the gorgeous view, beautiful moss rock fireplace and an open gourmet kitchen with its granite counter tops, slate floor and knotty pine cabinets. The master and guest bedrooms, as well as the two large bathrooms, will greet you with this same warm and well appointed look and feel.
The master bedroom boasts a king-size pillow-top bed while the guest bedroom is furnished with a queen pillow-top bed. Both bedrooms are equipped with a satellite TV/DVD player. The sofa-sleeper in the living area makes a comfy second queen bed and is complemented with a large flat screen TV with DVD player, and a CD stereo with an iPod/MP3 connection. This unit is also equipped for high-speed Internet (WiFi B/G or Ethernet cable) and telephone service through the front desk.
The east-facing windows and balcony from this second floor condo provide unobstructed and gorgeous views of historic downtown Breckenridge, the Blue River Valley and the Continental Divide just beyond. As a corner unit, you'll have additional inspiring views to the south.
Although the location of this condo makes it easy to just leave your vehicle parked for days (if you even bring one), the free and private underground parking also makes it easy to use your vehicle. For added convenience, a free and private shuttle picks up at the front door to take you around town. Also, the Summit Stage, a free county wide bus system, stops across the street.
As our guests of Mountain Thunder Lodge, the facilities of One Ski Hill Place (including the indoor pools, theater, and bowling alley) and Crystal Peak Lodge (with its billiards room and steam room) are all available for your use, free of charge.
The entire complex is non-smoking and does not allow pets.
Please see our pricing and calendar, below. Also note the comments from our guests not only from North America, but also from Europe and Australia.
Your hosts,
David & Diana

2BR/2BA Ski-in/Gondola-Out Luxury Condo Near Main Street!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Mountain Thunder Lodge
As you know, there are many ski resorts in Colorado. We chose Breckenridge for our second home / condo investment because we just love the town. Unlike the other “man-made” resorts, Breckenridge is a real town with a real (long) history that you can see when walking Main Street. The town's natural beauty is unsurpassed. Also, unlike most other world-class resorts, this town is very relaxed and unpretentious in feel and prices.
Specifically, we chose Mountain Thunder Lodge for many reasons… Number 1 is the ideal location relative to the Skyway ski trail, the BreckConnect gondola, and Main Street. Please read more in the condo’s description. Secondly, we love its upscale and well-maintained amenities and conveniences. It is certainly one of the nicest, most popular, and most highly rated condominiums in Breckenridge.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The benefits of Mountain Thunder Lodge are too numerous to list here, but a few of the more obvious benefits to visitors include… In the winter, simply jump on the BreckConnect Gondola across the street for direct access to either Peak 7 or Peak 8. Then ski to your back door at the end of the day (or for lunch) instead of taking a bus, etc. In the summer, just hike or bike from the back door of Mountain Thunder Lodge for gorgeous nature adventures. Regardless of the season, Main Street is an EASY 5 minute walk for dining, shopping and entertainment, and when you return to the condo you have amenities such as 3 hot tubs and an outdoor heated swimming pool to relax with, or just snuggle into the well-appointed residence. Some say, “It’s all good”…, at Mountain Thunder Lodge “It’s all great!”

The "off season" is a great time to visit Breckenridge, and your condo was a perfect place to stay. The location was conveniently accessible to everything, and it was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. We especially enjoyed watching the last baseball game of the World Series on a huge TV screen while enjoying delicious food at Fatty's. We appreciated the smooth last-minute arrangements and the quick reply regarding 2 parking passes for the underground garage. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ACCOMMODATION!!
Owner response:Thank you. We enjoyed hosting you and hope you're able to return again! Diana & David

Diana and David are extrememly easy to work with - very prompt with all communications and they were great in providing information about the condo and the Breckenridge area. The condo was clean and spacious, had a well-stocked kitchen, and is located in a great lodge. Good location, too - close to the slopes but within walking distance of lots of restaurants, etc. The underground parking was a really nice amenity. And the price was very reasonable for all it had to offer. I highly recommend this property - absolutely the best/smoothest VRBO experience we've had!
Owner response:Thank you for the wonderful review. We hope you and your family are able to return in the future! You're always welcome! Diana & David

Our family of three enjoyed our stay at your condo! What a perfect location--super close to the gondola to ski, eating and shopping in town, and a true ski-in condo later in the season. We hope to return to Breckenridge next year. Thank you for the wonderful recommendations for places to eat, things to do, etc. You were so accomodating and easy to work with. We will recommend your condo to our family and friends!
Owner response:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we appreciate you taking your time to complete it! We hope you and your family come back again in the future! Diana & David

Review Submitted: 10/10/11
We stayed at the Mountain Thunder Lodge for 8 nights. We enjoyed our stay. The condo has a great location - walking distance to shops/dining, local bus transfer station, grocery/liquor stores and hiking/biking/skiing trails. This condo is very comfortable and clean. For us travelers who enjoy eating in, the kitchen is nicely equipped. For the travelers who like to dine out, restaurants are steps away. The property hosts were easy and friendly to deal with. Bottom line - a great place to stay.
Owner response:Thank you for the nice feedback. We certainly love the location of this condo as well. -David & Diana

First Trip to Breckenridge

Review Submitted: 09/30/11
I loved staying in your condo with my parents on our first trip to Breckenridge. The condo itself was beautifully furnished and very comfortable, the facilities match any hotel. For those thinking of staying here, the proximity to downtown Breckenridge is a definite plus for this particular condo, you can walk to Main Street with dining and shopping in less than 5 minutes. Furthermore, for walking/ jogging/ cycling you are across the street from Blue River which provides a nice trail away from the traffic. Scenic hikes and drives are close at hand. David & Diana made the logistics of my trip very easy and were great hosts. I hope to return to Breckenridge soon and I will definite try to rent this condo again.
Owner response:Thank you, Estelle. We love the location of the condo for the same reasons you do. It was our pleasure hosting your first (but not last) trip to Breckenridge. -David & Diana

We stayed in the condo at Mtn Thunder Lodge and it was a wonderful experience. The condo was well appointed, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. If you do stay there be sure to visit the lodge up the street where you also have access... there's a super pool/sauna/hot tub there and they also have a bowling alley you can use.
Owner response:Thank you, Megan. We're glad you enjoyed the condo and the additional facilities so much! -David & Diana

This was our first trip to Colorado and we had a wonderful time. The condo was perfect for our family of 4 and very convienent to downtown Breckenridge. We took advantage of the amenities at the other two facilities as well. The condo met and exceeded our expectations. David and Diana were very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you again David and Diana for allowing us to stay in your condo. We hope to return next summer.

David and Diana - We had such a wonderful visit to your condo! It exceeded our expectations in every way and we do intend to return for a much longer visit next summer. Our kids (8, 5 and 2) are still talking about our "mountain house"! We used some of your great suggestions for dining out but we also loved the convenience of being able to cook a few meals in. Everything we needed was in your kitchen! And, of course, we all LOVED the Fun Park (spent a full day 10-6 there)! Being able to walk to the gondola safely through the under-street tunnel was an added bonus! We rode the gondola every day we were there so the kids became veterans. Thank you again for the amazing hospitality!
Owner response:Kim, Thank you for your kind remarks. We look forward to hosting your family again. -D&D
