The stay was last minute booking and everything was nice. Room was good size for a couple and very clean. The only thing I would say needs to be better is signs/directions as you come into the property or get the property before dark since it is in mountains. It was hard to tell where room was once we found check in area. Overall it was great. Would stay again.

Nice, remote, maybe a bit musty
The location was great. Tucked away in a very remote valley. We stayed the night before riding "the tail of the dragon". Everyone was freindly and helpful. Two complaints, 1) The cantina closed at 8:00. Kinda early for us. 2) The room was super musty, and maybe a bit dated. Other than that, it was a pretty cool place.

Beautiful hotel!
This is a yearly family trip but first time staying here. It is a great location and beautiful resort. Very family and pet friendly with opportunities for daily activities. We are renting a boat today at the marina across the street. We will definitely book again for Next year. Our room is second floor at the lodge.

Bad room at Fontana resort
The room was old and dark. Tv didn’t work no usb plugs to change phone. No kleenex. Mattress was sagging in the middle. It was not worth the money. It was in the Same class as Motel 6 even worse. I think they should pay me some money back because it was so bad. I will never stay there again

First the good… They have a restaurant on property. Food was just ok. The people working there were really nice. Our sons stayed in the lodge and said their room was fine. The rest… When we arrived at the property we were told that they’d be adding a $16.50 a night activity fee since we’d booked through Expedia. And since we had both a room in the lodge and a “cabin” we had to pay it twice. We also had a dog with us. Their website said the dog would be $25 a night. They tried to charge us $50 until we complained about it. My wife and I stayed in what Fontana Village calls a cabin. It came equipped with a toilet that was literally mounted to what I can only assume was a rotted out area of the floor via a piece of MDF. And when I say mounted, I am only referring to the appearance. The toilet absolutely was not attached to anything stable. You also couldn’t shut the bathroom door properly because the door knob would come off in your hand. In the kitchen, the refrigerator was covered in rust and sounded like it was going to give up at any moment. In the bedroom, the carpet (and why you’d have carpet in a cabin bedroom I do not know) was absolutely disgusting. And when I pulled back the comforter on the bed it revealed hair from what I can only assume was many past guests. Lots of hair. Since we were headed out backpacking the next morning, we simply covered the bed and slept in our sleeping bags. Avoid this place. Go literally anywhere else.
