Thunderbird Resort


On Beautiful Lake Buchanan

Looking for a beautiful lakeside resort?  This is it!   Picture yourself on the shore of beautiful Lake Buchanan, surrounded by tree covered hills, a magnificent rock bluff, on shady landscaped acreage, and you having the most memorable vacation you have ever had!  That describes your fun-filled, stress-free stay at Thunderbird Resort in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

Thunderbird Resort

Do away with alarm clocks, telephones and pagers.  Awaken to the sound of birds and allow nature to set the pace for the day.  Relaxation comes easy at Thunderbird Resort.  Stay a weekend, a week, or longer.  Our motto is "If you come once, you will come back again!"

The owners, Donna and John Williams and Janice and Richard Burrage welcome you to their little piece of paradise and want to make your stay at Thunderbird Resort a pleasurable and memorable one.

Thunderboard Resort Marina

Lake Buchanan is famous for boating, fishing and other water sports.  Our convenient, covered marina will give you easy access to your boat.   We also have some slips to accommodate larger boats.
