We enjoyed our stay at Willow Point and look forward to going back.Some great fishing and not too far from Damn area .We caught crappie and catfish.Swimming area was perfect for kids and they had canoes and row boats to use-no charge.I don't remember paddel boats but Dd says that did have 3.Cabins were great and comfy ,we were right on the water ,and deer came around all day long.They also had some huge white geese that would eat out of your hands.Owners are super nice and make sure your happy.The placement of the cabins made sure you had plenty of elbow room.We had our bikes and mainly rode around the general area but no regular trails,plenty of walking room.Nice and quiet at night with beautiful view of the lake.We had a wedding to attend to on that trip so we did'nt get to spend as much time as I wanted to there.Cabins are very spacious and have all amenities.Be sure and go to wineries for thier tours and wine testing,Falls Creek is awesome.
No, I haven't been to Thunderbird Resort I now where its at,thats all.
You are asking a tricky question,Garner are Hill country around Inks Lake area they are both great areas.Are you planning on staying at Garner in cabins ?You have to experience Garner at least 1 time,the dances,swimming in ice cold water in the summer,All the kids having fun,some of the best camping in Texas.
Inks area is also awesome,been going there since I was 5.I get to go at least 6-7 times a year because of family and friends in Hill country.
I think you need to make plans for both,To hard of a choice for me.

Have Fun
