Fontana Village Resort

We were disappointed that Hazel’s restaurant was closed for renovations. Food options were limited, and food was just so-so. The staff at check in and at the general store were helpful, but it would have been nice to have a staff person in the upper lodge to welcome guests and answer questions. Coffee in the upper lodge would have been great as well. The room was very clean and looked to be recently renovated.

WiFi In room modern TV options Beautiful views Old school vibe with modern upgrades, friendly staff, great restaurants

Hiker friendly staff. Large rooms.

Friendliest staff we’ve ever encountered!! Pool was clean. Room was clean. Mini golf, tennis, bonfires, horseshoes, and baseball/softball were great! This will be a place we visit often. Thank you all for the wonderful hospitality and memories.

Property is in need of rehab. Putt putt was garbage, lazy river did not work, food from quills was of poor quality. Only bright spot was dinner at hazel's. None of the staff seemed to understand english very well. The lodge is a long haul to the pool or general store

Hazels was great but the cantina was not so much. All a great time!

The king size bed was the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in! The the grounds were beautiful and we had the best hamburger at The Canteen. We did have to go down a few stairs with our luggage to get to an elevator.

You will have to drive the Tail of the Dragon to get to Fontana Village. I stayed in the main lodge/hotel which is a separate location from the garden rooms. Our group congregates at the restaurant for breakfast in the morning. Room and bathroom is clean but note that there are no water bottles in the room. Will definitely stay there again,

Awesome view and great location. Neat little gem

This place was really cool. I felt like I went back in time. The rooms were great. The Quill restaurant was good. Definitely would recommend staying here.

The place is great and the rooms are great. The only thing I’d say to anybody considering staying here is bring your own food and drinks if possible. Even the casual restaurant is crazy expensive. 21 dollars for a basic burger type stuff. 11 dollars for 1 non tall boy can of hard seltzer at the pool type stuff.

The property is absolutely beautiful. A mecca for car and motorcycle enthusiasts. Amazing!!

stayed here one night and 3 other motel/hotels this week, this was by far the cleanest and nicest room we had. Even better than some of the well-known brands we stayed in this week. Would differently go back and spend more time here,

Do yourself a favor and GO TO HAZEL's! The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. The bartender makes a mean Cadillac Margarita, so let her make you one and tell her Jerilynn and Mary (two motorcycle chicks) sent you!

Everything ok clean and as expected

Gem of the Smokies!

We stayed in rooms at the hotel. The lobby is unique and so pretty with beautiful views off the back deck. We were impressed with the room cleanliness and attractive decor. The pool is a huge space and the ice cream store a perfect treat after a round of putt putt.

The room was clean EXCEPT for the floor which likely hasn't been cleaned EVER. We had to keep flipflops on or else the bottoms of your feet are so dirty...just gross. Had dinner at the Canteen, the young Phillipino guy was so charming and the food was very good. Just a note tho - putting the salad in a colorful strainer was cute - but given it has HOLES in it and the dressing leaks out all over the table, probably need to rethink that one, ya? Breakfast the next morning - awful - told the Canteen offered a "full breakfast"...it doesn't. The muffins and assorted pastries were all STALE...everyone left them on the table. Took the young girl working the front alone over 30 minutes for a cappucino & a muffin. I asked for a bagel instead, took another 20 minutes as she toasted it, then dropped it on the floor. We were the first ones in there, an hour later had nothing but coffee. The "arcade" - full of broken machines in pieces...lovely. Dinner at Hazels - great food but staff has no idea how to run the place. Went to bar for drinks, 20 minutes completely ignored. Had to laugh after a while at how bad it was...oy!

The property was large with various accommodations from small cabins, family size cabins and a couple of mult-room motel type buildings. We stayed in one of the motel buildings. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. There are many hiking, fishing, rafting and siteseeing options near by plus an on site swimming pool. The property originally the construction center for Fontana Dam in the early 1940s. I have enjoyed rafting on the Nantahala, riding the Tail of the Dragon on motorcycle and by car. Dining options are limited and not all facilities are handicapped accessible with stairs to some. We will go back.

Great
